Magnus Carlsen will not defend his title this year after relinquishing

The reigning World Champion Magnus Carlsen will not be defending his World Championship this year after relinquishing his title.

Carlsen cited a lack of motivation as his reason for not playing in the World Championship match this year.

The Norwegian Chess grandmaster has been the undisputed World Champion since 2013 and this year will end a decade of dominance.

The World Championship will be played to the distance of 14 games in what will be an exhilarating final.

Bookies also offered odds that Hans Niemann will be caught cheating at this year's US Open Championship

Controversial Chess player Hans Niemann was accused of cheating by the World Champion Magnus Carlsen after the two played each other in early September.

Carlsen dropped out of that tournament straight after losing to Niemann with cheating accusations getting stronger and stronger every week.

The 19 year old 'likely cheated' more than 100 times according to a recent report on the Wall Street Journal and this has caused widespread popularity and scandal for the chess scene.

It's 10/1 that Niemann is caught cheating at next year's US Open Championship with the betting odds saying there's a 9.1% chance it happens.

There's around a 9% chance that Niemann is caught cheating at next year's US Open according to the odds with 10/1 given by bookies that it happens!
