| - On 3 December 2021, the defending world champion Magnus Carlsen (as White) defeated the challenger Ian Nepomniachtchi in the sixth game of the World Chess Championship 2021 in 136 moves, which made it the longest game in the history of the World Chess Championship. The game was played in 7 hours and 45 minutes, finishing after midnight local time, to take Carlsen to a 3½–2½ lead in the best-of-14-game match. It was the first classical game in a World Chess Championship in more than five years that did not end in a draw; after Magnus Carlsen won the tenth game of the World Chess Championship 2016 against Sergey Karjakin to level the score, there was the longest-ever streak of 19 draws in consecutive World Chess Championship classical games (games 11–12 in 2016, games 1–12 in 2018, games 1–5 in 2021). The game was widely praised, with chess players and commentators describing it as "epic" and an "all-time classic". The game proved to be the turning point in the match. After it, Nepomniachtchi's play declined significantly from being on par with Carlsen to highly error-prone, with Carlsen ultimately retaining his title by 7½–3½. (en)
