Fischer-Spassky 1972 was for 24 games, Capablanca-Lasker 1921 at Cuba 24 games, and Bourdonnais-McConnell 1834 London 100 games. World Title is a watered-down thing since they only play 12 games, and two wins should be enough for the prize, three at most -- Matches and

Carlsen's name in above list of tournaments appears twice, compared to Lasker, Botvinnik, and Steinitz 6 or 7 title tries and defenses.
Rules. Rabelais' narrative in 'Gargantua' Book V a few years after Chess added strong Bishop and Queen about 1492, is as clear and unambiguous as many a modern Chess Variant rules-set. Queen Whims of course is representative of CVs or do-as-you-will, as opposed to regimentation and orthodoxy. Notice in Chapter 25, linked in last comment here, Queen Whims vanishes at the end but not dies.
