‘I prefer to retire that …’ – Firstpost

The American Grand Master Hans Niemann has not been on the best of Magnus Carlsen since the legend of Norwegian failures accused him of cheating in 2022. And after Carlsen’s revelations on the scandal on a recently popular podcast, relations between the two seem to have renounced.

Speaking on The Joe Rogan experienceThe best classified player in the world revealed why he was “very, very suspect” of Niemann’s gameplay in their match in the Sinquefield 2022 Cup in St Louis, in the United States, and that he still does not trust him.

“There was a combination of things, based on the level of chess that I thought he had and that I had seen from his games. Both playing against him and analyzing a little with him and watching his games. There were a lot of stories at the time.

“I don’t trust him and many best players still don’t trust him. He certainly does not trust me or Chess.com, Hikaru (Nakamura), nor who he felt injured, “Carlsen told Podcaster and former television host Joe Rogan in the episode that was published on YouTube on Thursday.

Niemann slams Carlsen for “malicious accusations” and “assassination of character”

Niemann responded to Carlsen’s comments the next day, saying that he “prefers his retirement” which continues to make “malicious accusations”.

“I prefer to retire rather than look at the malicious accusations and the assassination of the characters. My commitment to failures is eternal, the failures will speak in due course, ”wrote Niemann on X Friday.

Niemann had filed a federal complaint of $ 100 million against Carlsen as well as Nakamura and the Chess.com website after being accused of having cheated in his victory on Carlsen at La Sinquefield Cup.

The 21-year-old American admitted to having cheated in online games earlier in his life at the age of 12 and 16, but insisted that he had never done it above the table.

Niemann then agreed to settle the dispute with Carlsen and the other parties in August 2023, a few months after a US judge rejected his pursuit.

Niemann, however, renewed hostilities with Carlsen recently after the latter found himself involved in a bitter quarrel with Fide – due to his controversial acts in the rapid world championships and Blitz in New York as well as for the promotion of the Grand Chelem Freestyle tour for the spending of the world government organization.

“Arrigant, titled, ignorant and above all: loose. Your childish ego continues to distort reality to the detriment of failures. You won the board of directors, only a matter of time until you make the same fate on the board of directors, “Niemann wrote on X in response to a Carlsen post who had targeted the president of Fide Arkady Dvorkovich.
