Ian Nepomniachtchi: “The result is much more important than the prize”

World Chess Championship Challenger Ian Nepomniachtchi once played Dota 2 at a near professional level, but before the prize funds went crazy. The Russian team Team Spirit just won $18.2 million for winning The International Dota 2 Championship, which provides the starting point for a discussion of the €2 million Chess World Championship match in a recent interview with Match TV. Ian talks about his preparation for facing Magnus Carlsen, losing 10 kilograms, the length of the match and the conditions in Dubai.
