Controversy over 2018 World Chess Championship Logo Sparks Social Media Frenzy

The 2018 World Chess Championship is making headlines for all the wrong reasons, as organisers face backlash over the tournament’s new logo. The design, unveiled on Tuesday, has raised eyebrows and sparked confusion within the chess community, with many comparing it to something straight out of the Kama Sutra.

Australian player David Smerdon took to social media to express his shock at the logo, while Grandmaster Susan Polgar also voiced her disappointment. Despite the negative reactions, the logo has quickly gone viral on social media, with fans and pundits sharing their hilarious responses.

Organisers, however, are standing by their choice, stating that they have been working for over a year to develop the perfect key visual for the Championship Match. The logo will be featured on various merchandise and promotional materials for the event.

The Championship Match will feature Norway’s Magnus Carlsen against an opponent yet to be determined. With the controversy surrounding the logo, all eyes will be on the tournament to see if it can live up to the drama and excitement of previous championships.
