Carlsen continues to be world champion in sports chess

As expected, Carlsen decided to fight in the decisive game at high speed, in which he is more skillful than his opponent: 3-0 (best-of-four).

Since 2013, Carlsen (27 years old) is now world champion. He won the title at the time by winning both Viswanathan Anand camps. He has already successfully defended the title in 2014 (against Anand) and in 2016 (Sergei Karjakin) successfully.

Caruana could live with defeat. "It was a tough fight until the last moment with little difference in power, I think together we announced our sport and I hope we have inspired a new generation to play chess as well. I lost to one of the best players in the sport I do not give in. I can not wait to win the world title. "

Bobby Fischer is still the last world champion in American football since his great victory against Russian Boris Spasski in 1972.

After the twelve classic matches, there was no decision made in London. All these confrontations ended in a draw. Carlsen won $ 550,000 with his victory, his opponent has 450,000. Initially, the division was 600,000 against 400,000, but because of the decisive game that was adjusted.
