Grand Master Magnus Carlsen forced to overcome in confrontation against

Sedan – Norwegian choppy chess teacher Magnus Carlsen He was forced to a draw on Monday for more than 143,000 people worldwide playing against him in a single record game. Analyzed as “Magnus Carlsen Vs. The World”, the online game began on April 4 at Chess.com, the world’s largest chess website, and was the first online free style game to present a world champion.

The mega game ended after Team World reviewed Carlsen’s King for the third time, a surprising result after Chess.com predicted that Carlsen would win by a wide margin.

Team World voted in each movement and each side had 24 hours to play. Carlsen played the white pieces.

The world won in Movement 32 after reviewing King of Carlsen three times at the corner of the board where he could not escape. The rule is called “triple repetition”, which means that all the pieces on the board are in the same position three times to boost a raffle.

Carlsen, 34, became the best classified player in the world in 2010 at age 19 and has won five world championships. He achieved the highest chess rating than 2882 in 2014 and has remained the indisputable number one in the world for more than a decade.

“In general, ‘The World’ has played very, very solid chess from the beginning. Maybe not go to most entrepreneurial options, but keep it more in the line with normal chess, which is not always the best strategy, but this time it worked well,” said Carlsen in a statement on Friday when the draw on Monday seemed imminent.

Because it was a freestyle match, bishops, gentlemen, the towers, the queen and the king were randomly dragged around the board while the pawns remained at their usual points. Free -style chess is popular because it allows players to be more creative and avoid memorization.

This was the third game online “Vs. The World” online. In 1999, the great Russian teacher Garry Kasparov played against more than 50,000 people on the Microsoft network and won after four months.

Last year, the great Indian teacher Viswanathan Anand won his game “Vs. The World” against almost 70,000 players at Chess.com.

In the virtual chat of Chess.com this week, the players appeared divided into whether to force the draw, and claim glory, or continue playing against Carlsen, even if it finally meant a loss.

“Don’t draw! Let’s keep playing Magnus,” a user wrote. “This is an opportunity that will not appear again. I prefer to play the teacher until the end and see if we can fight against another 20 or 30 movements!

Another added: “Thank you Magnus for such a big game. We made history.”
