Wednesday at 4 pm, Magnus Carlsen and Fabiano Caruana will be in London for the last time.
After 12 games of chess having finished their discount, it is now necessary to be named winner.
First, the parties will be in a maximum of four lots with a quick shot. If there is still no winner, it's the lightning jaw that applies. If it's still not a world champion, everything will be decided with Armageddon, which excludes a new benchmark result.
In 2012, it was estimated that there were about 600 million chess players in the world. The giant duel between Caruana and Carlsen is therefore evident in the media around the world.
Carlsen's director, Espen Agdestein, believes that this year's duel has sparked more interest for newspapers in Western countries. In the last three championships, Carlsen has faced a Russian player and an Indian player, but this time, there is an American on the other side of the board.
This creates perhaps a little more interest for the West and a little less elsewhere. I think it's good that Magnus and Caruana are the numbers 1 and 2 of the world. It's a very exciting match and everyone was waiting for it, "said Agdestein.
Burns few calories
The Swiss Neue Zürcher Zeitung takes the view of public health in the chess game of today. They examined the calorie consumption and nutritional needs of the players of chess.
If you wonder, French researchers have discovered that amateur players burned an average of 120 calories per hour. They also write about what is happening physically in the body when they play chess. A French study shows that the heart goes on average faster than usual and that it turns more varied.
The French newspaper El Pais is in London and covers the world championships. He is convinced that Carlsen has problems with the title "A genius seriously in danger".
"What was a hungry, young and angry genius is now a waving champion, he seems ill-prepared, uncertain, and with big motivation problems, writes Leontxo García.
He writes that the only negative point for Caruana is the statistics in terms of lightning and fast tracking.
Carlsen is like … Chelsea
The Guardian, the newspaper with the longest daily column of chess in the world, has a reader who has been trying to lure football into the championship of chess. In a column, the reader asks which layers are best suited to the playing style of the two combat cans.
Until now, a reader has confided to Fabiano Caruana the role of Atlético Madrid, a team hard to beat, always brilliant and always ready. Our own Carlsen, on the other hand, is like Chelsea under Mourinho, always striker, efficient and deciding matches that seem fluid.
The German news website.de.de examines Magnus Carlsen and presents it to his readers. They illustrate the article with an instagram image of the star chess in the upper body during exercise.
The German newspaper Suddeutsches Stefan Kindermann said in a video interview that Carlsen was not fit and had lost his magic.
Hope to the local world champion
The St. Louis Public Radio is focusing on the fact that the city can get its first world champion if Caruana takes the final strike on Wednesday. The challenger moved to St. Louis in 2015.
"I think we're in the middle of the bag," said Rex Sinquefield of St. Louis Chess Club.
The billionaire has a lot of credit because the club has become "hot" in the world of chess. Among other things, the club is organizing a big tournament at which Carlsen has been one of the winners for a long time.
Fox Sports jumps the lightning jacket and speed and takes care of the last chance of decision, armageddon. They think that twelve remissions do not speak of the drama that has been the championship.
Yahoo Sports agrees with Fox that the championship has been spectacular, although this is the first time in history that all parties come to an end.
