Hans Niemann calls Magnus Carlsen ‘coward and arrogant’ in the midst of the battle of Freestyle chess, Anish Giri weighs – Firstpost

The American Grand Master Hans Niemann called the world chess player Magnus Carlsen a “coward, arrogant, entitled and not aware” in the middle of the continuous fight of the former world champion with the International Federation of Chess , Faithful. Meanwhile, the Dutch grandmaker Anish Giri said that the Freestyle chess saga was a “testimony to Carlsen’s influence” in the world of failures.

Carlsen, co -owner of Freestyle chess operations, and Fide are locked in a battle in terms of the old one to use the term “world championship” for his next Grand Chelem tour. Fide argued that it is the “only regulator of the world chess championships”.

Niemann says that Carlsen is a coward and arrogant

Niemann’s latest attack on Carlsen came after the 34 -year -old man, who is a co -owner of Freestyle chess operations, went to social networks to demand the resignation of the president of Fide Arkady Dvorkovich. Carlsen also accused Dvorkovich of having abused his power and forcing players after the interviews between the world chess body and the freestyle chess operations were broken down.

Reacting to Carlsen’s request, Niemann on X wrote: “Arrant, entitled, ignorant and above all: loose. Your childish ego continues to distort reality to the detriment of failures. You have overcome the table, only a matter of time until you do in front of the same fate on the board. “”

Carlsen in his post had revealed personal messages sent by Dvorkovich to his father in which the president of the Fide promised that the players would not be prevented from participating in the Grand Slam tour of Freestyle chess despite the fight in progress. However, Fide later asked the players to sign an exemption before participating in the tour to stay eligible for the world championship cycle.

“Player coercion, improper use of power and broken promises. The president of Fide Dvorkovich, to convince me to play Rapid & Blitz in New York, you wrote on December 19 to my father: “ You just want to pass a message and Magnus that everything that is happening between Fide and Freestyle in terms of recognition, players not to be affected in any way. They can decide for themselves and Fide will not take any negative measure, ”said Carlsen on X.

Freestyle chess visit accepted Fide’s request

In a dramatic turn of events, Fide announced Tuesday late that players no longer needed to sign the exemption when the Freestyle chess tour decided to remove the “world championship” from its regulations.

Reacting to the whole saga, the great Dutch chess giri said that the controversy only highlights Carslen’s influence on the world of chess, while other players continue to be left in the dark.

“The whole saga of chess960 testifies to Carlsen’s influence in the world of failures and the way he chooses to handle him. Everyone is looking in pure confusion. This is simply a chatgpt version of my original tweet, “he wrote.
