Magnus Carlsen is vastly successful against just one opponent. And even when he came up against many more, the Norwegian showed he can hold his own.

The world’s top-ranked chess player, Magnus Carlsen, has drawn an unprecedented game where he played against more than 143,000 players from around the world. The event set a new record for someone facing the biggest number of opponents in an online chess match.

Magnus Carlsen isn't the 1st GM to take on a team of thousands, Garry Kasparov played more than 50,000 opponents in a 1999 match, while Viswanathan Anand played around 70,000 last year
