The world champion didn't convert every chance he had during the classical time-controlled games, but pulled one off in the rapid play-off! After the 6-6 tie in regulation play, Carlsen produced a victory in Game 3 of the Rapid play-off - successfully defending his title!

A big congratulations to GM Magnus Carlsen for a well deserved victory on Dec 30th, 2016, which also happened to be the world champion's birthday! Watch the whole game below:
