How many other games or s****ts have 24 or more games in their
champion****p series to determine who the world champ is?

If 24 games is not enough, how many is enough?  Are people supposed to
play 50 games?  When you happen to add time control to chess, and have
a world champion, you turn chess as a game, into a s****t.  Since this
is the case, is it not im****tant to see what other s****ts do?

And exactly how is more games going to make a difference if the
defending champion just has to draw to retain their title?  Are we
supposed to wait for game 37 so that he bungles?
