Chess enthusiasts have paid thousands to secure tickets for one of the year's biggest events: Magnus Carlsen (33) versus Hans Niemann (21) in Paris on September 6th. The rivalry, heated for two years, has led to high demand, with tickets selling out quickly. VIP tickets, which offer exclusive seating and a chance to meet the players, were sold for as much as 1500 USD. The event, part of Chess.com's "Speed Championship," has heightened security to prevent potential cheating, as the players meet face-to-face for the first time since 2022.
