I wonder what Magnus' suggestions for the WC format are. It's very well known that current classical format has the issue of a lot of memorization/theory. To me the issue does not lie in the time format as a lot of people here suggest, but the format of the game. I would appreciate if a couple of chess 960 (Fischer variation) games were added to current format to determine world champion of classical chess.

He already talked about that 5 years ago https://www.chess.com/news/view/magnus-carlsen-proposes-different-world-championship-format-2693 https://www.chess.com/news/view/magnus-carlsen-proposes-diff... Single elimination knock out format like some big sport events (football/soccer World Cup, major league sport playoffs etc.) It can still be BO7/BO9 etc for example but it comes with more randomness (initial matchups) He just hates the current everyone plays everyone league format then the best score takes on the reigning champion (who didn’t even take part in the first round aka the Candidate’s)
