On this day 10 years ago, Magnus Carlsen became World Champion!
The 2013 World Championship match was held from 9 to 22 November in Chennai, India. Magnus defeated Vishy Anand 6½-3½ and ascended to the throne, where he remained until 2023. https://t.co/770WdgKXyn

For 10 years, Ukrainians have shed blood for the values and freedoms other Europeans take for granted. Their brave people have defended Europe against Russia while the world's most powerful military alliance looks on. We can never repay them, but we must do everything we can. ???????? https://t.co/l2yJHbSPdz

I also was a European Champion (2001), and I was no.17 in the World (2004). I didn't play a single RR in those years, where I wasn't among top-rated. Best years (24-27). Coming to FIDE, I felt the situation must change. And it did change – with our events and a vision we promote. https://t.co/H8LfuOTk7T

“There were moments in life when I was very close to thinking that I could never lose a single game.
Then I was defeated, & the lost game transported me back from the land of dreams to reality.
That's why nothing is as healthy as a beating at the right moment.”J.R.Capablanca. pic.twitter.com/zDV1cBjan0
