FIDE World Championship Match 2021 Poster

The World Chess Championship 2021, held at the Dubai Exhibition Centre during Expo 2020 (postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic), saw reigning champion Magnus Carlsen face challenger Ian Nepomniachtchi. After five high-quality draws, Carlsen won a marathon Game 6, the longest in championship history with 136 moves. Nepomniachtchi’s play deteriorated afterward, leading to Carlsen capitalizing on several blunders to secure a decisive victory with four wins, seven draws, and no losses, thus retaining his title.The graphic identity for the championship, including this poster, was designed by the Spanish design bureau Morillas.
