After a marathon, six hour, 83-move game and another tough battle yesterday, both draws, the match is all tied up yet, with only two games remaining. The spectacle of a series of rapid (and, heaven forbid, blitz) tie-breaker games is seeming more and more likely every day. Sure, that would be exciting to watch, but it’s no way to decide the highest title in the land.
