Magnus Carlsen and Ian Nepomniachtchi's decision to share the World Blitz Championship title for the first time in history has sent shockwaves through the chess community.

World No. 1 Magnus Carlsen played his first match at the World Blitz Championship after initially quitting the chess tournament due to a dress code dispute with organizers.

In a video that's gone viral, Carlsen can be heard telling Nepomniachtchi that if “FIDE refuse (to allow us to share title), we can just play short draws until they give up.”
