Fedoseev has one of the worst positions I think I've ever seen

A surprisingly comfortable win for Duda to win his match and the world cup.

Well done to him, he did seem to surprise Karjakin with his opening in the first game so this isn't totally shocking.
Carlsen meanwhile gave Fedoseev another chess lesson, for a 2-0 win.

The final position in Carlsen's game is rather picturesque, unless you're sitting behind the black pieces trying to find something to do.
