Magnus Carlsen and Fabiano Caruana have ended the game with a draw for the ninth consecutive time in the fight for the title of World Chess Champion in London.

Despite this fact, after the 18 games Garry Kasparov won the title of the world champion with the score of 10.5-7.5, Magnus Carlsen - Fabiano Caruana has three rounds left befor the end of the fight. Chess players can already update the record stated above, as the 10th round will take place today, in the evening.
