Magnus Carlsen will not defend his title

The Wall Street Journal has an article today that says Magnus Carlsen will not defend his world chess championship title.

NY times reporting same thing.

Personally I think the current 2 year world championship cycle is too short. The WC is always preparing for a match (if nothing else not tipping his hand on preparation).

I think a 3 year cycle would be better.
