Many, however, speculate that Ian opted for a subconscious chess suicide because a draw would mean that he had to win all of the three remaining games. Speaking about his opponent, Carlsen had the following to say."Obviously he couldn't, at some point, show his best chess which is a pity for the excitement in the match but I think that's what happens sometimes when you get in a difficult situation. All of that preparation, everything doesn't necessarily help if you can't cope at the moment."For his victory, Carlsen won 1.2 million euros as the World Chess Champion for 2021. Ian Nepomniachtchi came second, winning 800,000 euros.
