• World Chess Championship

    From Lee Lofaso@2:203/2 to ALL on Friday, December 03, 2021 17:19:28
    Hello Everybody,

    The FIDE World Chess Championship, being held in Dubai
    from November 24 - December 16 between GMs Magnus Carlsen
    (current champion) and (challenger) Ian Nepomniachtchi,
    after having played five games, is currently tied 2.5 to 2.5
    - with game six coming up.

    Carlsen managed to defend his title in 2018 against an
    American upstart, who took him into overtime, after a series
    of all draws. Now he faces a challenge from a Russian upstart.
    And so far, the match has been all draws. Will the end be yet
    another apocalyptic finish, with Carlsen finally winning a
    game in overtime? Or will the man from Bryansk find a way to
    do what no other player has managed to do since the days of
    oh when was the last time any player from Russia ever won
    the title?
