Magnus Carlsen stunned the chess world this morning by resigning in protest after just one move against Hans Niemann.
Niemann, playing with the white pieces, started the game with d4 and Carlsen respond Nf6. When Niemann played c4, Carlsen simply resigned and turned off his webcam, leaving commentators visibly stunned.
Sachdev later said, “The internet is exploding right now,” Sachdev said. “Twitter is exploding right now.” Carlsen then shockingly withdrew from the tournament without giving an explanation, apart from a terse tweet, which stated: “I’ve withdrawn from the tournament. I’ve always enjoyed playing in the [Saint Louis Chess Club], and hope to be back in the future.”
He dramatically called out his critics and even offered to play in the nude in order to prove his innocence.
