World Chess Championship 2021

The 2021 FIDE World Chess Championship, hosted at the Dubai Exhibition Centre in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, showcased a clash between the reigning Norwegian World Champion, Magnus Carlsen, and challenger Ian Nepomniachtchi from Russia. Initially slated for 2020, the event was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Carlsen’s success commenced with five draws, followed by his historic triumph in the lengthiest-ever game at 136 moves during Game 6. Nepomniachtchi’s performance deteriorated, and Carlsen seized on errors in Games 8, 9, and 11, securing a resounding victory with four wins, seven draws, and no losses.
