Carlsen Defends Esports World Cup Chess Title in Paris

A chess champion named Magnus Carlsen won a big chess tournament in Paris called the Esports World Cup.

This was the second time in a row he has won this tournament.

Magnus was not feeling well — he had a fever and was very tired during the event.

Even though he felt sick, he did not lose a single chess game the whole time.

In the final match, he played against Denis Lazavik and won.

Magnus says chess is becoming faster and more fun, like other esports video games.

He thinks chess and esports work really well together.

Some other players, like Hikaru Nakamura, do not like the new format.

But Magnus thinks the format works well and does not want big changes.

He believes fast, exciting chess is the future of the game.
