The match to determine the Chess Champion of the World happens every couple years, and it begins early Friday, November 26.  World Champ Magnus Carlsen, of Norway, will defend his title against challenger Ian Nepomniachtchi (a.k.a. "Nepo") from Russia.  You can watch the games in real time, with commentary from famous grandmasters, at NBC Sports and Chess.com.

Make a guess prediction for different questions for each game, and you're in the running for either an ice cream cone or a chess keychain!  The winner of each guessing contest is the answer that comes closest, without going over.  (In case of a tie, the younger guesser wins.)

For example -- In Game One (on Friday, Nov. 26), how many moves will the game go?  Make a guess!

It's a 14 game match, so you get 14 guesses!  Be sure to make your guess by 9pm the evening before the game.  You can change your answers up until that time.

Tiny Prizes will be given out at the Saturday Grand Prix tournaments at the Ferndale Library.  Limit two prizes per player.  Only students K-12th grades in NW WA can participate.
