The last five years were decided by shorter tie breaker games as the longer classical games were all draws

In 2016 the classical games were tied, but there were wins by both Carlson and Karjakin. Otherwise it would have been 7 years, since the previous world championship match was in 2014.

But titling "unlike the last time (and only the last time) there has been a win and it's also the longest game ever" would have been less clickbaity.
