Magnus Carlsen, one of the world's best chess players, spoke out about resigning from his match against Hans Niemann earlier this week.
It followed up with Monday’s debacle, as Carlsen resigned after Niemann had already made two moves. The matches for the tournament were online on chess24.com.
"Unfortunately I cannot particularly speak on that but people can draw their own conclusion and they certainly have. I have to say I'm very impressed by Niemann's play and I think his mentor GM Maxim Dlugy must be doing a great job," Carlsen said, via Chess24.com.Yosha Iglesias, an FIDE master and chess coach, explained in a tweet that Dlugy was banned from Chess.com's Titled Tuesday events for allegedly cheating in 2017.
Norway's Magnus Carlsen competes during his Round 10 game against the Moldova's team at the 44th Chess Olympiad 2022, in Mahabalipuram on August 8, 2022.Carlsen was in first place after the preliminaries for the Julius Baer Generation Cup and Niemann was in third place. The two could potentially play again in the final rounds.
