Magnus Carlsen and Ian Nepomniachtchi agree to share chess' World Blitz Championship title, causing outcry from top players

Key FactsCarlsen shares blitz championship title and faces fierce criticism

Jan 2, 2025 · Reading time: ~45 sec.
Summary created with AI assistance · Source: n-tv.de

Eighteen-year-old Dommaraju Gukesh became the youngest world chess champion ever after the 14th game in Singapore.

Carlsen was fined 200 US dollars for wearing jeans and disqualified in round nine of the rapid-chess world championship.

In the blitz final against Jan Nepomniachtchi, the score was 2–2 after four games; three sudden-death games were drawn.

The rules called for one winner; Georgios Souleidis, Hikaru Nakamura and Hans Niemann criticized the shared title.

There can only be one World Champion. This is not a title that can simply be shared.
— Hans Niemann, commenting on the controversy over Carlsen's proposal to share the world title
