The world’s top-ranked chess player, Magnus Carlsen, has drawn an unprecedented game where he played against more than 143,000 players from around the world. The event set a new record for someone facing the biggest number of opponents in an online chess match.

In 1999, Garry Kasparov, then world champion, played against over 50,000 participants on the Microsoft Network, ultimately winning after a four-month battle. More recently, in 2022, Viswanathan Anand emerged victorious from his own "vs. The World" match on Chess.com, facing nearly 70,000 players.

Chess legend Magnus Carlsen, considered one of the best players in history, has been held to a draw by a team of 143,000 opponents in an online match.
