CARLSEN
DETHRONES ANAND AS WORLD CHESS CHAMPION
Magnus Carlsen is the new world chess champion.
After 10th game of the world championship ended in a draw in Chennai today, the
22-year-old Norwegian got the required half-a-point needed to reach 6.5 points
and dethrone India's super Grandmaster Viswanathan Anand.
This is Carlsen's maiden title. After suffering his third loss in the ninth
game yesterday, Anand with 3 points, needed three wins in-a-row to force the
tie-breaker. Carlsen has been the uncrowned king of chess for more than three
years.
