Sportsmanship Like A Champion
Our World Chess Champion, Magnus Carlsen, is a very kind yet competitive chess player. However, when it comes to unfair tournament results, the World Chess Champion is willing to make it right, even if it could affect his chances. A few days ago, this exact scenario occurred between the Champion and Ding Liren from China. In the game, they were in a theoretically drawn rook pawn endgame. Unfortunately, at that time, Ding's Wifi gave out, and Magnus Carlsen won as a result. However, instead of taking the win eagerly, Magnus Carlsen instead purposely lost the second game to adjust potentially unfair match results, putting the score back to 1-1. Here are the positions below.
Magnus Carlsen purposely blunders the queen and resigns on the fourth move in the English Opening, making this game the shortest chess game in Magnus Carlsen's career.
