It's absurd that the classical world chess champion is decided by rapid games.

This keeps happening: 2012, 2016, 2018, 2023.

For over a decade most of the classical world chess champions were decided by their ability to play rapid.

It's time to reform FIDE. The world chess championship is languishing, barely getting any news attention or coverage. Just kill this failed format and play rapid. The games are much more engaging for viewers. We could maybe actually get people to watch chess!
