World Champ

Magnus wins again.

Magnus Carlsen Wins The 2021 World Chess Championship

Also, I agree with this from Tyler Cowen: And Now It Is Over....

"I suspect this last match means the death of the slow classical format for the world championship.  The last three matches have been deadly dull.  You can cite particular reasons for the lack of excitement, but the fundamental problem is that the players are too good and a very well played chess game is a clear draw.  It is hard to see how that gets reversed.  On top of that the match format encourages risk-aversion and openings such as the Petroff for Black.  There is too much advance openings preparation."
