Abdusattorov wins World Rapid

Nodirbek Abdusattorov and the regulations spoilt the Rapid World Championship in Warsow for Magnus Carlsen. The world champion led after two days but lost the first game of the final day against the 17-year-old Uzbek, who claimed the title after winning the blitz tie-break against Ian Nepomniachtchi. Carlsen and Fabiano Caruana also ended on 9,5 points out of 14 but were left out. Alexandra Kosteniuk won the women’s event.
