The time control was definitely an issue and yet another example of FIDE blundering without a clue. Every top level classical chess event has an increment and that's what everyone is used to. And then, for the most important tournament of the year, they decide to remove the increment ...
minutes for first 40 moves, 60 moves, 80 moves, 100 moves:
2024 Candidates: 120, 160, 170, 180
2023 Tata Steel: 120, 180, 205, 215
2022 Candidates: 120, 180, 205, 215
Candidates Tournament 2022
The time control was 120 minutes for the first 40 moves, 60 minutes for the next 20 moves, and then 15 minutes for the rest of the game, plus a 30-second increment per move starting from move 61.

From what I've heard is that all players in the open and women section were asked what time control they prefer. FIDE didn't choose the time control, the players did. Women picked one with increment for the whole game, while in the open section most players preferred playing without increment before move 40.

Or possibly even early next year. Nobody knows, FIDE ́s doing its usual stuff.

I can see history repeating. Ding and Gukesh will get in some endgame that Magnus could solve. They will stretch out the WC longer this way where Magnus would outplay either of them there sooner. I could be wrong. One of them might find a knockout blow early yet I doubt it more thanks to the invention of computers. Everyone has a superior way to study thanks to the machine. It means I do not have preference on who is the human WC.

That might have made time pressure more of a big deal, but if anything, increment would have helped Gukesh who apparently is just not top 10ish in blitz, and maybe quite far from that.

everyone was probably rooting for Pragg.
It's brilliant for chess. The prospect of a 17 year old in a 1v1 duel for the world championship should be enough to excite budding young players to take their chess seriously.
2024 seems like the grand shake up of the established order. Abdusattorov now in the top 5. Gukesh ranked #6, Arjun ranked #8. Three very young players in the top ten. Firouzja, who was the great hope of the future, is now lagging behind his younger cohorts. Some players, the Grand Chess Tour brigade of Aronian, Grischuk, Radjabov etc not even in the top 20!!
