How Chess Predicted the World Cup?

ChessChess Personalities
A Louis Vuitton photo with Messi and Ronaldo playing chess told us what would happen in the World Cup!

For people who don't know, the game was played initially between World Champion Magnus Carlsen and Chess960 World Champion Hikaru Nakamura.

Both players are considered to be the Chess GOATS due to their achievements in all aspects of the game of chess.

However, if there is a comparison between them over who is the better player it will obviously be Magnus Carlsen.

Magnus Carlsen has the talent for the game and makes chess look easy while Hikaru works hard day in and day out to make it to the top.

In the Louis Vitton picture, Lionel Messi was playing as Magnus Carlsen while Cristiano Ronaldo was playing as Hikaru Nakamura.

Everyone knows who both Messi and Ronaldo are and their achievements when it comes to football. The picture basically showed us who Messi would have been if he was a chess player and who Ronaldo might have been if he played chess.

Messi like Magnus has talent whilst Ronaldo has a similar trait to Hikaru of being a hard worker. Mesi has managed to win the World Championship just like Magnus Carlsen.
