Number one grandmaster, Magnus Carlsen, has won the inaugural online chess competition at the Esports World Cup. The 34-year-old Norwegian will take home $250,000 (around £188,000).
The Esports World Cup (EWC) being held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia is one of the biggest multi-discipline tournaments in competitive professional gaming.
The inclusion of chess in this year's schedule was somewhat controversial, but the tournament's organisers argued it counted as an esport as it is played by millions of people of all ages.
This is the second time the EWC has been staged and it comes with a total prize pot of around $70m (£50m).
Over a period of seven weeks, teams from around the world compete across 25 popular games, including Call of Duty, Street Fighter and League of Legends.
