💨 Abstract

Magnus Carlsen and Ian Nepomniachtchi shared the World Blitz Championship title for the first time in history, leading to widespread criticism. The decision was made after three sudden-death games failed to determine a winner, with Carlsen suggesting the title be shared due to the deadlock. Critics, including former World Champion Vladimir Kramnik, criticized FIDE for not having a rule for such scenarios.
