Is the match between King and Morrison only 20 games? I thought that world championship matches were always 40 games.

Thanks everyone, I was very lucky. About Alex being "lucky" to beat me in the 6th round. The game he beat me on was in his book "Sixth" pg 51, diagram 57, for those of you who have a copy. After I lost Alex opened his book, showed me the diagram and said, "Its only 45 dollar...
