Magnus Carlsen just clinched his fifth World Chess Championship, beating Ian Nepomniatchi convincingly 7.5-3.5. That makes him only the third player to win five undisputed Chess World Championship titles, and the youngest at only 31. Carlsen is used to breaking records though. He was a youth prodigy, who became a grandmaster at age 13. In 2010, aged 19, he became the youngest player ever to be ranked number one in the world.
