IIRC standard time control is 2 hours for 40 moves, 1 hour for the next 20 moves, and 15 minutes with 30 seconds of increment for the rest of the game.
Does anyone here know the time control or the Anand-Carlsen title match in Nov?

Thanks. I wish they would start using increments from move 1.

I kind of wish that they had only one hour each for the whole game, and only allowed to go to the bathroom once. That would be kind of neat!
Oh, and the game must be completed--no draw offers and play to checkmate or show the draw on the board
It would be even more fun to watch if they each had to drink a gallon of whatever and not be allowed to go to the bathroom before or during the game and no chairs. They'd have to stand there and squirm.
While we're at it, we should crank the temperature to 45° C on them and turn out the lights.

Two hours for a game of chess seems like more than enough time to me. Though it may eliminate some of the "geniuses" like Ivanchuk
My proposition :
both player are locked in a room. Each game last 24h and they have to manage sleeping and eating during the game. There is a rest day between game so they can go outside.
No electronic devices allowed in the room, and they get fooud through a hole in the wall (blueberry yoghurt are banned).
This way we have a good old long game.
No time trouble.
No blunder-because-I-only-had-a-second-left.
Correspondance-quality chess.
They don't get to come out for ANYTHING. Not even for orange juice for Magnus or bathroom breaks. Nothing. It might have to be that way one day because of cheating issues in the future.
They can't cuddle or spoon?

I haven't been able to find out and was just curious.
