In Response To: OT - World Chess Championship 2018 (Stick)

The primary emphasis is on reducing the need to decide the championship in any tiebreak whatsoever. Who wants to see a football contest decided so often by penalty kicks? Nobody. Which is why they changed their scoring system along these lines to encourage more attacking play and decisive results in the main battle. Same in chess.

My preferred format would be Bilbao classical followed by rapid/blitz tiebreak.
