Karpov criticized the format of the match for the world chess crown
The formula for holding a match for the world crown among men is far from perfect; it was invented by people who did not play serious chess, said the twelfth world champion Anatoly Karpov. In the title match, which ended on Wednesday in London, the current world champion, Norwegian Magnus Carlsen, defeated American Fabiano Caruana in a rapid chess tiebreaker - 3:0. Earlier, the main part of the match, 12 games of classical chess, ended in a draw (6:6), all matches ended in a draw.
