World Chess Championships Boring?

Hi, my name is Reece Thompson.

I run a chess show on YouTube, and I recently brought up the trending topic of: making the world chess championships more exciting.

Video over this topic:

Let me know what you guys think?
"Dude, you desperately need a girlfriend. No offense but...you're way, way too into this for your age. There are other things in life, man. "

@WarOverABoard Haha, let the guy do whatever he wants. And you assume he is too much into this, maybe he has a girlfriend and more joyful life and interests than yours.

@CM Reeceys Anyway, i think you are good at making videos and will surely help novice and some intermediate players. Back on the topic of the post, there is definitely a need for some change. Like you said, players need to take more risks. Maybe the players should play first some rapid games, and the winner there determines who should play for a win. That was a nice idea i heard, i don't remember where, but i think it would be good to give it a try
The main problem with trying to make chess less boring is long-time controls are seen as too slow and rapid time controls normally have lower quality chess. Not sure if it could be done for the WCC but 'The Master Game' BBC TV Series would be the best format

Essentially a game would be played and after it ended they would be taken into a studio where they gave there thoughts on the game and then the game would be broadcast with their thoughts dubbed in so viewers can hear each players thoughts as they watch the game
I once read if a headline is a yes-no Question, the answer is most definitely "no" :)
@JamesPeirce its no problem at all for me if an author does it, its just fun to know the reason for it. Im always smiling when i see that "?", and my "no!" is fervent :)
your skin is as white as your theeth. NEver go bronze your healthy babyskin
Чтобы не было скучно, отказаться от матча вовсе. Только матч-турнир сильнейших, как это было после смерти Алёхина.
