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.
