Rigged much?

The world championship is rigged. Hard to believe that there are 7 straight draws, one win for a weaker player, and Wednesday game will end in a draw. Was rigged since Kasparov started his streak.

Yes the World Chess Championship is rigged. FIDE has been homogenising chess board surfaces and removing aggressive shotmaking from the tour. No longer can Carlsen play his signature aggressive style of chess which draws in many fans from around the world. This Championship has shown us FIDE continues to reward defensive play over aggressive play. Clearly FIDE feels that Carlsen's dominance is threatening the future of the sport. Shameless move by the international governing body of chess. They don't even choose to purchase real leather seats.

Of course it is. Like every results in every game in every sport since the dawn of time.

If it was rigged they would have went to armageddon match for the add dollars and to ensure the match is talked about forever. Turns out Karjakin is decent at chess. Who would have guessed?
