Almost three weeks after the chess World Championship began, the last scheduled game ended Monday in a draw -- just like nine of the previous 11 games -- with spectators left hungry for decisive action in the forthcoming tiebreaker. "I'm not proud of the game today, but I think there's a tradeoff" for the spectators, said Carlsen, alluding to the extra chess to be played. But in the meantime, Carlsen said "25 minutes and 10 seconds per move is a lot of time so we're still playing normal chess." The winner will be declared world champion and will take home 600,000 euros ($637,000). More than six million people have checked in on the World Chess Championships via its official website since the start of the competition, a spokesman said Monday, without specifying how many had paid to watch the live video.
