Chess is an ancient game but it can have modern problems as discovered by Norwegian Grandmaster Magnus Carlsen who, while playing in the chess24’s Champions Chess Tour Skilling Open<\/a> with its combined $1.5 million prize pool, had the misfortune of slipping while moving his Queen and accidentally placing it not in its intended position.<\/p>\n Once placed, as per chess rules, you can’t retake the move.<\/p>\n The match, against fellow Grandmaster Ian Nepomniachtchi, was one of the most highly anticipated of the tournament, with Carlsen’s slip being the last way viewers would have expected to see it end.<\/p>\n
