Norway's Magnus Carlsen takes home fifth World Chess Championship Title.

Norwegian grandmaster Magnus Carlsen retained his world chess title on December 10 with fourth win over Russian challenger Ian Nepomniachtchi.

The world number 1 sealed victory by winning the 11th game of the 14-game series in their €2 million match in Dubai.

Carlsen, who turned 31 during the competition, has now won five world titles in a row, taking the first in 2013.

Nepomniachtchi resigned with a brief handshake and the two players exchanged a few words in the long-delayed standoff.
