Body: <p>I'm curious about the format of the upcoming World Classical Chess Championship. Historically, the number of games in these championships has varied. For instance, the Carlsen-Karjakin championship in 2016 featured 12 games, while the recent Ding-Nepo championship had 14 games.</p>
  <p>Given these variations, I'm interested in knowing how many games are planned for the next World Classical Chess Championship. Understanding this could provide insights into the strategies and preparations of the players involved.</p>
