And Now--Rapid/Blitz Playoff Games Will Determine the Classical World Chess Championship

Note to FIDE and Agon. Tie breaks for a classical chess championship are stupid and uninteresting. There are separate Rapid and Blitz world championships already. If there's a tie in one of those, do they have a playoff with games played at classical time controls? This boring championship match is thankfully over for this classical time control fan. It matters not who wins these bullshit Rapid/Blitz playoffs. 

BTW, it will be interesting to see how much money FIDE receives from Agon from the proceeds of this match. High time for the major chess powers, excluding Russia, to form a new international chess governing body.
