This match between the number one and number two ranked players in the world is one of the most eagerly-awaited World Championship clashes of recent years. He has already successfully defended his title twice, against Anand in 2014 and against Sergey Karjakin in 2016. Defending champion Magnus Carlsen first gained the title in 2013 when he beat Viswanathan Anand.
His challenger, Fabiano Caruana, has been playing brilliantly in the run-up to the championship, registering numerous tournament victories against elite competition. Carlsen has been the highest ranked player in the world since July 2011. He gained the right to challenge Carlsen thanks to a superb victory in the Berlin Candidates event early in 2018 where he scored 9/14, finishing a point clear of the best players in the world.
