    Carlsen wins World Blitz Championship, Assaubayeva defends women's title

    GM Magnus Carlsen clinched the 2022 FIDE World Blitz Championship title on Friday with a score of 16/21, one point ahead of silver medalist GM Hikaru Nakamura and bronze medalist on tiebreak, GM Haik Martirosyan.

    Carlsen's victory, which was confirmed when he poetically defeated GM Nodirbek Abdusattorv in the final round, means that he simultaneously holds all three world chess titles for the first time since his Uzbekistani opponent nabbed the world rapid title from him in 2021.
