Chess world champion Magnus Carlsen explicitly accused rival and fellow chess grandmaster Hans Niemann of cheating in a shocking statement released on social media Monday
Chess world champion Magnus Carlsen explicitly accused rival and fellow chess grandmaster Hans Niemann of cheating The statement comes after Carlsen withdrew from the 2022 Sinquefield Cup in St. Louis after his third round defeat against Niemann, a loss that ended Carlsen’s 53-match unbeaten streak. He then subsequently chose to withdraw while playing the American after making just one move during the Julius Baer Generation Cup on September 20.
“When Niemann was invited last minute to the 2022 Sinquefield Cup, I strongly considered withdrawing prior to the event. I ultimately chose to play,” the 31-year-old Norwegian wrote. Niemann responded to the cheating allegations in the days after the Sinquefield Cup and denied any wrongdoing in his match against Carlsen. The 19-year-old did admit to cheating at the ages of 12 and 16 but said“I’m saying my truth because I do not want any misrepresentation,” Niemann said. “I am proud of myself that I have learned from that mistake, and now I have given everything to chess. I have sacrificed everything for chess.
