Norwegian grandmaster holds onto chess world championship after rapid tiebreakers


Norwegian grandmaster Magnus Carlsen has defended his chess world championship title by beating American challenger Fabiano Caruana 3-0 in rapid tiebreaker games. Caruana, 26, was trying to become the first American since Bobby Fischer in 1972 to become the chess world champion. Carlsen has defended his chess world championship title by beating Caruana 3-0 in rapid tiebreaker games. Carlsen and Caruana concentrate at the final day of the World chess Championship in London. But despite the lack of knockout blows, this year's championship has still had some drama as both players have missed good chances to win games.
