Magnus Carlsen is the reigning world champion in chess, and symbolic of the resurgence in interest in the game. He is one of the top celebrities in his home country of Norway, where his televised matches often attracted larger audiences than other television shows.
He is one of the highest-ranked players of all time, and is as good at blitz chess as the classical format.
In November and December 2021, Carlsen will defend his title when he plays up to 14 games against Ian Nepomniachtchi of Russia for 14 games in Dubai.
