NEW DELHI: Norwegian grandmaster Magnus Carlsen retained his world chess title on Friday as he recorded a fourth win over Russian challenger Ian Nepomniachtchi. Carlsen sealed victory by winning the 11th game of the 14-game series in their two-million-euro ($2.3 million) match in Dubai. "I'm relieved of course," Carlsen was quoted as saying after the match. "It's hard to feel that great joy when the situation was so comfortable to begin with, but I'm happy with a very good performance overall." IANS
