World No1 Magnus Carlsen emerged as the Winner of the first-ever Fischer Random tournament with the classical time control. Carlsen clinched Freestyle Chess GOAT Challenge after defeating World No2 Fabiano Caruana in the finals.
The first game of the final match finished in a draw, but Magnus took the victory in the second game to become the Winner of the event.
