How many people does it take to defeat a chess grandmaster at their own game? Turns out, more than 143,000. Magnus Carlsen's match against the world ended in a draw Monday.
The match — which featured Carlsen taking on players from Chess.com — lasted 46 days.
The contest was dubbed "Magnus Carlsen vs. The World," and began April 4. It was a freestyle game of chess, meaning every piece except pawns are randomly positioned on the board. Carlsen played as the white pieces, and kicked the game off. Chess.com players could then vote on the next move.
