Hi John,

It would run along the lines of 'Bored of the Rings' the spoof of Lord of the Rings
A World Championship book written before the match takes place.

You could pool together and exaggerate every controversial W.C. moment that has taken place since FIDE took over.
From Euwe's opening books going astray in 1948 right up to 2021 and Dubov helping out the 'enemy.'
then nick and fit in other 'moments' 'from non World Championship matches.

I'll do it. But first I'll negotiate a 'you cannot include me when you get sued' deal with Netflix.

A great deal longer than it needed to be, as I recall, something which could also be said of Peter Jackson's movies (and Tolkien's trilogy, come to that).
"Do you play chess?"
"Yes, but I prefer a game with a better chance of cheating."
