that a championship match requires a fixed

I thought that Kasparov _did_ do that, and you said he was changing
the topic.
I understand that it would be better if the World Championship were
absolutely fair. But that requires either excluding ties, or having a
possible result of two co-champions. If both are impractical, then
living with a little unfairness seems not unreasonable.
If the unfairness can be reduced to a mere sliver, though, that would
be good, and I had a couple of ideas for that.
