A Victory for Chess: Carlsen and Nepomniachtchi Share the Title of Champion

In a historic and uplifting conclusion to the recent World Blitz Chess Championship, Magnus Carlsen and Ian Nepomniachtchi agreed to share the championship title after a series of thrilling tied matches. Following a nail-biting final that ended in a 2-2 draw, even sudden-death games couldn’t separate the two champions.
