WC 2016 worst in history

10 draws, 2 wins, and the rest determined by rapid chess. After waiting around for 2 years, that is all we get? That's it? Now, we won't see another WC match again in two years? That's it? Why even bother to have a WC match in classical chess if this is the way it is going to be?

Agree with otto. Those draws were not just "GM draws"....they were hard fought. As far as breaking the tie... i dont have a problem with G25s determining the winner.

Why are you still talking about Anand vs Gelfand from 2012? :-)

the games were actually quite juicy, nothing to excessively complain about. Although a few more wins would have been nice
