Meanwhile, the World No. 1 took another jibe at Gukesh while playing a fun game on social media. read more World No. 1 Magnus Carlsen has won the first-ever Chess Esports World Cup, defeating Alireza Firouzja by winning the final three games in the Grand Final. Carlsen not only walked away with the $250,000 prize money, but also helped Team Liquid take a lead in the overall team championship. In the third-place match, GM Hikaru Nakamura beat GM Arjun Erigaisi 3.5-2.5 in a thrilling contest. While Carlsen's win was a big moment, his rivalry with Indian Grandmaster D Gukesh is what's grabbing headlines again. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD At the Esports World Cup, Carlsen took another dig at world champion Gukesh during a fun challenge. He was asked to stay silent until he heard the name of a player better than him. He didn't react to names like Bobby Fischer, but finally spoke when Garry Kasparov was mentioned. Carlsen's jibe at Gukesh Later, when the clip was shared on Instagram, Carlsen commented, 'Would have stayed quiet for Gukesh as well.'

Although Gukesh had beaten Carlsen in that round, the five-time world champion had the last laugh by winning the title.

Mumbai: Actress Debina Bonnerjee, who is gearing up for her upcoming show 'Pati Patni Aur Panga', has showcased a glimpse of what her life is like these days. Debina took to Instagram, where she shared a picture of herself and alongside it, she gave a list of things that are keeping her busy. She wrote: 'Life Lately Shoot, Sleepless nights, Mommy duties, Dressing up & showing up, Tired? Yesss, Excited? Always, Grateful? Super Check.' Debina and her husband Gurmeet Chaudhary first got married in 2011 and then tied the knot again in 2021. They had their first child, a daughter, in April 2022, and their second daughter in November 2022. The two will be seen in the upcoming couple reality show, "Pati Patni Aur Panga" hosted by actress Sonali Bendre and comedian Munawar Faruqui.
