NEW DELHI -- The world of chess has a new king, and it's a 22-year-old who is as much at home posing for fashion shoots as he is pushing pawns.
Magnus Carlsen of Norway won the chess world championship Friday, becoming the first Western player since Bobby Fischer to hold the title.

Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg called Carlsen on Skype to congratulate him on the victory and thank him for "a fantastic experience."

"You've brought an incredible amount of young people to chess in the last few weeks," Solberg said. "But that also means you'll have an incredible amount of competitors from now on, because everyone wants to play chess."

In India, organizers said up to 100 million people a day watched the games on TV and online -- and the official website for the match estimated that another 100 million unique viewers around the world had tuned in at some point.

Since Fischer refused to defend his title against Anatoly Karpov and retired from the game, the chess world has been dominated by the former Soviet bloc, although Anand became the first Asian world champion in 2007.

The Indian, who at 43 is nearly twice Carlsen's age, failed to seriously test the challenger, making several big mistakes that led to his three losses.

"It's clear he dominated," Anand said. "My mistakes didn't happen by themselves, clearly he provoked them, and all credit to him."

Да и старшему поколению есть с кем поиграть на равных.

- Э, а можно подробней - во сколько приходить? И какой шанс там встретить начинающих?
Сколько времени это все длиться?

Как я понимаю там не учат, по крайней мере в воскресенье?
