The world chess champion secured victory in a three-hour game, contributing to the team's first win of the season.

Magnus Carlsen, the 34-year-old world chess champion, won his first match for FC St. Pauli in Germany's Chess Bundesliga.
Carlsen's victory was part of FC St. Pauli's 5.5-2.5 win over SG Solingen, marking the team's first triumph of the season.
His opponent, 24-year-old Dutch player Max Warmerdam, conceded after 33 moves in a game lasting over three hours.
