Magnus Carlsen retains the Chess World title

 

Three-time defending champion :NOR Magnus Carlsen and challenger :USA Fabiano Caruana did face a nerve-wracking showdown in the World Chess Championship in London on Wednesday, after 12 regular games failed to break the deadlock.

The two young masters face off in the tie-break, which consists of four rapid matches with 25 minutes for each player with an increment of 10 seconds after each move.

But the Norwegian only needed 3 of those 4 rapid matches, as he won all of them to successfully defend his crown.

Iran had some interesting results in this World Blitz/Rapid Championship. Sara Khadem-al-Sharieh won two silver medals in both Rapid and Blitz competition. I assume that's Iran's  first ever medals in a FIDE senior World Championships.

 

but the most interesting result came from 15 years old Alireza Firouzja. he was leading the competition in both events for so many rounds. even though he blew out his lead in both of them but still a 6th place finish in Rapid event in such a high level competition was great for a teenager. (where he was somthing like 170th in the ranking order before the competition !!) watched his match against the great Magnus Carlsen and he was terrible. probably too nervous facing his idol :d

after the decline of Magnus Carlsen  this is the chance for Maxime to win

France didn't win since 1937 while China ensured the final , maybe 2 Medals

I am not a chess expert, but my nose suggests the Chinese-French final - Ding Liren vs Maxime Vachier-Lagrave.

their level is pretty similar :

 

:CHNDing was undefeated in classical chess from August 2017 to November 2018, recording 29 victories and 71 draws

:FRAMaxime was The world Junior champion  in 2009 and is a three-time French champion 

 

:CHNYu Yangyi He qualified for the Grandmaster title at 14 years , He was a member of the gold medal-winning Chinese team at the 41s chess olympiad  in 2014

 

:AZE Radjabov earned the title of grandmaster in March 2001 at the age of 14, making him the second-youngest grandmaster in history at the time , besides he gained international attention after beating the-then World No. 1Garry Kasparov 

 

 

their world ranking of september 2019, the adventage for Ding & Maxime as you say
