World Championship challenger Grandmaster D <keyword id="19905851" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Gukesh" source="keywords">Gukesh</keyword> played out a <keyword id="20587469" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="draw" source="keywords">draw</keyword> with tournament leader and top seed Fabiano <keyword id="20560751" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Caruana" source="keywords">Caruana</keyword> of United States in the seventh round of the Superbet classic <keyword id="20021338" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Chess" source="keywords">chess</keyword> tournament here. On another all-draws day, R <keyword id="19987305" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Praggnanandhaa" source="keywords">Praggnanandhaa</keyword> signed peace with Ian <keyword id="21315166" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Nepomniachtchi" source="keywords">Nepomniachtchi</keyword> of Russia leaving the lead positions intact like the previous round. Caruana on 4.5 points remains in front with two victories and five draws, he is followed by Gukesh, Praggnanandhaa and Alireza Firouzja of France, who are all half a point behind the American. Nepomniachtchi shares the fifth spot with Maxime Vachier-Lagrave of France with a fifty percent score, a half point ahead of the trio of American Wesley So, Dutch Anish Giri and Uzbekistan's first son in chess Nodirbek Abdusattorov. Just two rounds remain in the USD 350000 prize money tournament. Gukesh's choice of Italian opening gave him an optical advantage against Caruana. After the initial tussle, the players reached a middle game wherein the Indian had an edge thanks to better placed forces but Caruana was up to the task in finding the defense to maintain the balance. The pieces got traded at regular intervals in this encounter and the players arrived at a Queen and rook endgame where neither side had a real chance. The game was drawn after 62 moves. Praggnanandhaa had a relatively easy day against Nepomniachtchi despite playing black. Years of working with World number one <keyword id="19903492" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="magnus-carlsen" source="keywords">Magnus Carlsen</keyword> and his own expertise as the two-time world championship challenger has made Nepomniachtchi a leading theoretician but in the seventh round the Indian surprised him with what looked like a sensational preparation. The next round would mostly decide the final outcome of the tournament as Caruana is facing Praggnanandhaa and Gukesh has a tough nut to crack in his final white game in Anish. Firouzja might also fancy his chances for a maiden victory in the Grand chess tour if he can conquer the machine-like precision of Nepomniachtchi. Results round 7: Ian Nepomniachtchi (FID, 3.5) drew with R Praggnaanandhaa (Ind. 4); Deac Bogdan-Daniel (Rom, 2) drew with Alireza Firouzja (fra, 4); Anish Giri (Ned, 3) drew with Maxime Vachier-Lagrave (Fra, 3.5); D Gukesh (Ind, 4) drew with Fabiano Caruana (Usa, 4.5); Alireza Firouzja (Fra, 3.5) beat Wesley So (Usa, 3) drew with Nodirbek Abdusattorov (Uzb, 3).

In that time, chess sets sold out and celebrities like rapper Logic and actor Rainn Wilson starred in online tournaments. During <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/facebook-meta-mark-zuckerberg-tries-haptic-gloves-metaverse-feel-objects-2021-11">Facebook's rebrand to Meta last month</a>, Mark Zuckerberg played virtual chess with haptic gloves.Hype around the world championship has been equally pronounced.Carlsen, who has been world champion since 2013, is regularly compared to <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/garry-kasparov-fear-of-being-assassinated-by-putin-2018-1">Russian grandmaster Gary Kasparov</a> — who was world champion for eight years in the 1980s and 90s — in the battle for the title of greatest player in chess history.This championship, Carlsen faced down Ian Nepomniachtchi, a 31-year-old Russian grandmaster blessed with natural ability and revered for his incisive style.The first five bouts of the 14-game series ended in tense draws, but Carlsen soon blew Nepomniachtchi away, seizing on blunders from Nepomniachtchi to win four of the next six games. The last time a player won a World Chess Championship by a four-game margin <a href="https://en.chessbase.com/post/centenary-of-the-lasker-capablanca-world-championship">was in 1921</a> — exactly 100 years ago.Even Nepominiatchi's decision to cut off his trademark topknot after losing the seven-hour marathon match, an apparent attempt to shake off his bad luck, couldn't save him.<div type="image" title="Norwegian Magnus Carlsen and Russian Ian Nepomniachtchi seen at a press conference before the World Chess Championship" height="1249" width="2500" msid="88213032" hostid="261"></div>The tournament also saw a number of firsts, and was beset with controversy and intrigue.Carlsen's first win in the championship came on December 3, and was the first outright result in the classical stage of a world championship since 2016.One of the earlier drawn games was the most accurate ever played in a world championship, meaning that the moves the players made matched those of a computer model to determine the best possible moves more closely than ever before. At the top level, chess players are so good that they can calculate which moves on the board are least likely to result in danger later on.The accuracy of the game, and others, also highlighted how important supercomputers have become in helping chess pros prepare their tactics before events.Nepominiatchi <a href="https://sk.ru/news/russian-chess-grandmaster-uses-zhores-supercomputer-to-train-for-tournament/">was given access to Zhores</a>, a supercomputer based at the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology in Moscow. One of the world's most powerful computers, it let his camp evaluate tens of millions of positions per second.Other games in the series were also not without controversy. Half-way through game eight on Tuesday, it appeared that Carlsen had broken one of the more obscure rules in chess, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGPORAQ7yMA">when he touched one of his pieces</a> but didn't proceed to move or adjust it, as per the rules. However, Nepominiatchi missed his chance to make Carlsen pay — he could have compelled him to move that piece — as he was away from the chess board at the time.During <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rs1OpE-0xoU">the post-match press conference</a>, Carlsen was visible irked when asked by a journalist about the apparent gaffe."Do better," he said.<h2>Rappers, actors, and NBA players were glued to the championship</h2>There was also intrigue and drama away from the board.Chess world championships often bring celebrities, some chess-mad, out of the woodwork.The chess-fanatic rapper Logic and the actor Rainn Wilson appeared on chess.com to give their insights into the games. Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward and former Baltimore Ravens guard John Urschel were also scheduled to <a href="https://www.chess.com/article/view/7-reasons-to-watch-2021-fide-world-championship-on-chesscom">join chess.com's coverage</a>.In Dubai, former Real Madrid soccer player Míchel Salgado made the ceremonial first move in Tuesday's game.Elsewhere, controversy reigned on December 5 when Alexandra Botez, <a href="https://www.insider.com/how-chess-was-more-sexist-than-its-portrayal-queens-gambit-2020-12">one of the chess world's most popular streamers</a>, was criticized by users on Twitch after she appeared to defend the United Arab Emirates' human rights record, <a href="https://www.hrw.org/world-report/2021/country-chapters/united-arab-emirates">which is considered poor</a>, during a stream from Dubai. She later <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKyucxTKG7s">apologized</a>. In another moment of drama, it appeared that Nepominiatchi's team, while analyzing a never-before-studied position on online chess databases before the championship, forgot to turn their research onto private mode, meaning the analysis was available for all to see online. The error was the chess equivalent of leaving an NFL football team playbook on the subway.Chess masters commentating the game for Chess24 said the chances were high that Carlsen's team had noticed it, but that it was impossible to tell for sure.<div type="image" title="Russia's chessmaster Ian Nepomniachtchi" height="666" width="1333" msid="88213034" hostid="261"></div>As world champion once again, Carlsen is approaching Kasparov's record, but his win is also good news for his brand. The Norwegian has monetized his chess like no player before him. He set up his company, Play Magnus, in 2013 and it has risen since to a market capitalization of $115 million.Carlsen's own stake in the company is worth around $9 million, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/22/sports/magnus-carlsen-chess.html">The New York Times reported.</a>

Magnus Carlsen won the $2.3m chess world championship in a match filled with drama and intrigue

The India-Russia chess duel for the Online Olympiad gold came to a dramatic finish on Sunday with the global chess body announcing them as joint winners. The decision to declare India and Russia as joint winners was taken by <keyword id="9600548" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="FIDE-President-Arkady-Dvorkovich">FIDE President Arkady Dvorkovich</keyword> after an appeal made by India saying three of its players were disconnected from the server. "We just told <keyword id="93857" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="FIDE">FIDE</keyword> that three of our players - K. Humpy, Nihal Sarin and Divya Deshmukh were logged out due to server crash during the second match of the final," non-playing Captain <keyword id="4353983" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="srinath-narayanan">Srinath Narayanan</keyword> told IANS. "We had asked for a fair solution - a replay of three games," he added. Announcing his decision Dvorkovich in a statement said: "The Online <keyword id="421028" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="chess-Olympiad">Chess Olympiad</keyword> has been impacted by a global internet outage, that severely affected several countries, including India. "Two of the Indian players have been affected and lost connection, when the outcome of the match was still unclear. "The Appeals Committee has examined all the evidence provided by Chess.com, as well as information gathered from other sources about this internet outage. After being informed of their considerations and in absence of an unanimous decision, and taken into account these unprecedented circumstances, as FIDE President I made the decision to award Gold Medals to both teams," he said. Srinath said the appeal was made stating it was due to a server crash of Cloudflare used by www.chess.com. The FIDE President's decision was welcomed by the Indian chess fraternity. Meanwhile, the finals between India and Russia began in the evening. The first match ended with a score of 3-3 with all the six games ending in a draw. The battle of two world champions in the fast chess format - women's world rapid champion from India K. Humpy and women's world blitz champion Kateryna Lagno was an absorbing game. Humpy, after securing an exchange advantage, sacrificed her queen for two bishops to have rooks against the Russian's queen. However, the clock was ticking against Humpy and on the 41st move, she missed out a winning line. Soon the game ended in a draw with perpetual checks by the Russian. All other games - Vidit Santosh Gujrathi vs Ian Nepomniachtchi, P. Harikrishna vs Vladislav Artemiev, D. Harika vs Alexandra Kosteniuk, R. Praggnannandha vs Alexey Sarana and Divya Deshmukh vs Polina Shuvalova - ended in a draw. In the second match, India brought in V. Anand and Sarin in the place of Harikrishna and Praggnanandha. The Russian team made three changes, bringing in <keyword id="4977457" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="daniil-dubov">Daniil Dubov</keyword>, Andrey Esipenko and Aleksandra Goryachkina and rested Sarana, Artemiev and Lagno. The first result in the second match was a draw between Gujarthi and Dubov. Soon Harika and Anand followed suit, drawing against Nepomniachtchi and Kosteniuk respectively. Then the net connectivity issued cropped up in Sarin vs Esipenko, Deshmukh vs Shuvalova and Humpy vs Goryachkina cropped. As regards Humpy vs Goryachkina, FIDE awarded the point to the Russian.

The industry generated $1 billion in revenue in 2020, with up to $113 million in prizes awarded to athletes, <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=insternaitonal+esports+fed&amp;rlz=1C5CHFA_enGB807GB807&amp;oq=insternaitonal+esports+fed&amp;aqs=chrome..69i57j0i13l7.4407j1j7&amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;ie=UTF-8=chrome&amp;ie=UTF-8">the International Esports Federation said</a>.Professional chess tournaments, backed by the International Chess Federation, have existed for decades, but esports events are new. The March 2 chess iteration of "Twitch Rivals," where <a href="https://escharts.com/tournaments/chess/twitch-rivals-chesscom-hand-brain-showdown">streamers teamed up with chess pros to win $35,000</a>, was one of the first."There aren't any dedicated leagues right now for chess, but that's something that would be pretty cool," Tang, the grandmaster signed by Cloud9, told Insider.

"It's not only huge validation, it's just awesome."Top-flight chess has long been an inaccessible club, requiring years of intense study and substantial financial means to travel the world for tournaments.But streaming has made it easier to make a living from chess. Player ratings have become less important, while individual personalities now carry greater weight. To boot, one in four Americans said they prefer to watch video-game footage than play themselves, according to a 2021 esports <a href="https://www.reviews.org/internet-service/2021-esports-report/">survey from Reviews.org.</a>Grandmaster <a href="https://www.insider.com/magnus-carlsen-world-best-chess-player-queens-gambit-sexism-2020-11">Magnus Carlsen</a>, the highest-ranked chess player of all time, has long been the game's poster boy, but the likes of Nakamura, Rozman, and the Botez duo <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/hikaru-nakamura-twitch-chess/">are the faces of the revival</a>."The Botez sisters are going to continue to establish themselves as staples of the <keyword id="4578" type="COMPANY" weightage="60" keywordseo="entertainment">entertainment</keyword> community on Twitch and YouTube," Andrew Peterman, chief content officer at Envy, told Insider.<div type="image" title="Andrea and Alexandrs Botez" height="1610" width="3221" msid="81573432" hostid="261"></div><h2>A multimilliondollar industry</h2>While it's clear that esports teams and corporations see chess as a sound investment, putting a number on the value of the chess industry is near impossible."I have no freaking idea," said Rensch, the Chess.com, exec, when asked to hazard a guess at a figure. "It is a massive industry."Almost all chess companies are not publicly listed and closely guard their market share. Sales of chess sets, books, and lessons sold worldwide are also immeasurable.In an indication of the money at stake, the Play Magnus Group, the chess-entertainment company founded by Carlsen, raised $30 million after going public last October. It's now valued at $152 million. <div type="image" title="World chess champion Norway's Magnus Carlsen poses with the FIDE world chess championship trophy after beating challenger, US player Fabiano Caruana (not pictured) in the tie-break matches of the 2018 World Chess Championship in London on November 28, 2018. - Three-time defending chess champion Magnus Carlsen on Wednesday successfully defended his world title after demolishing US hopeful Fabiano Caruana in a winner-take-all finale.

"Virtual cycling is not being performed by a gamer, but by an cyclist on a virtual platform. Same goes for chess."Some grandmasters and longtime commentators also slammed the esportification of chess, considering it a trivialization of the 1,500-year old game."This is just terrifying," the Russian grandmaster Yan Nepomniachtchi <a href="https://twitter.com/lachesisq/status/1363614821002969091">tweeted</a> during PogChamps3, calling it "popcorn stuff ... replacing and displacing any real chess content."The latest drama emerged over a new joke opening played by <a href="https://twitter.com/chess24com/status/1371552817882742790">Carlsen and Nakamura</a> in an online game, named the "Bongcloud," where a player immediately weakens their king at the game's start.It prompted Emil Sutovsky, the director general of the International Chess Federation, to <a href="https://twitter.com/EmilSutovsky/status/1371565747881836550" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">tweet</a> a section of its code of conduct: "The players shall take no action that will bring the game of chess into disrepute," he wrote.Nigel Short, a British grandmaster, <a href="https://twitter.com/nigelshortchess/status/1372173036150001668">also called</a> the Bongcloud "an insult to chess."But other prominent chess figures have welcomed the spotlight."Due to the complexity of our game there is a great need of entertainment and such events serve as a fun entry point to chess for everyone," Levon Aronian, an Armenian grandmaster, <a href="https://twitter.com/LevAronian/status/1363749499399794691">tweeted</a> last month.Tang, the 21-year-old grandmaster, praised PogChamps3 to Insider, noting that some grandmasters still turn up their noses at the newer, faster formats of chess - like bullet, rapid, and blitz - as it is."This has been a longtime struggle within the community," he said, "but with the popularity of online chess right now, you can't argue against it."
