Yes, but chapters are not the same as episodes. A three chapter duel should be maybe half of an episode. There is no reason for duels to be 5 episodes long. Hell, the Kaiba and Yugi duel in Battle City is the longest duel in the entire manga but should be no more than 3 episodes, and even then, that is pushing it.

The anime took way too many liberties from the manga to the point that they couldn't even do the damn Memories arc without making it a card game. There was simply no reason they needed to put in all of the Diadanhks and crap into it when it was just fine the way it was.

Add on top the change of character personalities such as turning Ryuzaki and Haga into Beavis and Butthead and getting rid of Otogi's motivations.

And the card game is all everyone cares about hence why it was added.
