<p><pre><code> &gt; Some naysayers may point out that The World Championship match is always the high-water mark for interest in chess and watering it down with a series of dueling World Championship titles could cause damage to the sport as a whole. What those people don’t realize is how much money we’re going to make off of this! Perhaps in the long term a World Championship schism will “kill the golden goose” as it were, but in the short term? I want a Jet Ski! </code></pre> Was this supposed to be a joke? I don&#x27;t get it Lichess!
