I was thinking of changing the tiles in the kitchen between the lower and upper cabinets. I've been advised to first screw on a 6mm gypsum board. I need 45x7.2 meters, but I've heard from someone that I have to attach the gypsum in a special way and not just cut two 2440mm boards and screw them on?
What's the deal with this?

I don't quite understand the question.. Maybe your advisor means that once you've torn down the old tiles, you will probably have to repair the plasterboard as well.
Or do you mean that you shouldn't replace the tiles? Instead, you want to tile new ones on top of the old ones?

I am going to remove old tiles that are directly on chipboard. To avoid plastering, etc., I was advised to install 6mm gypsum instead. However, it was how to handle joints and cutting gypsum that I was confused about.
It doesn't matter how you join. Cut, patch, and fix as you like, just use plenty of good glue. Small unevenness in joints and the like is corrected later with the fix when tiling.You can do either, but screwing is more work and not really necessary. In fact, when the tiles come down, you might think it doesn't look so bad, so you can skip the gypsum, as it's only to make it smoother.
