The question about World Chess Championship Records
Sort:
Has to be Kasparov-Karpov 1984 - 5 wins for Karpov, 3 for Kasparov, and 40 draws before the match was called off.
why 12 round games on this year? the rules have changed? or would it be more than 12 games?

It is easy to see why FIDE has been going for a short match format. That 84 series was crazy! One of these days I'll get around to playing the pgn file and see what sort of games they were.
so Carlsen vs Anand world chess championship games cannot break this record by due to the rules?

Well, a decision was made by FIDE that if the match is tied, it will go into rapid and blitz tiebreaks, and eventually an armageddon game if no winner is determined after the rapid and blitz. In other words, if there are enough draws they will start playing variants instead of actual chess and the world champion will be decided by who can think faster instead of who the better chess player is. So to answer your question, yes, it's not possible for Carlsen and Anand to break the record.

a tiebreaker round between 2 players after 12 games?
does no one take chess seriously anymore?
that doesn't even make sense. it's supposed to determine the best player.
well, thats it i suppose.

a tiebreaker round between 2 players after 10 games?

It's 12
12, 10, whatever, it's still a joke.

The Fans would be very emotionally if Carlsen and Anand still are making the tournment so longer ever. It would be epic event. It would make me crazy if it really happened.. I would not forget this history
Just imagine how great it would be if both players refused to go to rapid/blitz tiebreaks and insisted on playing classical chess if the match was tied after 12 games... 
Too bad there's no way they'd do that.

Do you think Anand will have the advantage in the blitz rounds? He used to be great at speed chess,when he was younger.
Anand is more than 20 years older than Carlsen. Blitz games are definitely not going to help Anand's chances - speed chess is a young man's game. Older people just can't think as quickly.
and having an even number of matches ie 12 sets up a 6-6 score surely bad planning when just one game more could find the winner
What year and name of players for the most draw games(how many?) in the world chess championship?
