--

The message from Carlsen came the day after he lost to the American 19-year-old Hans Niemann, in the third round of the tournament Sinquefield Cup in the USA.

– I have withdrawn from the tournament. I have always enjoyed playing at the Saint Louis Chess Club (journ. note the club that hosts the Sinquefield Cup) and I hope to return in the future, he wrote on Twitter.

At the same time, Carlsen included a video in the tweet where football manager José Mourinho says in an interview: “If I say something, I’m in trouble”.

That Carlsen withdrew from the tournament has caused a lot of reactions, and it will be the first time he withdraws from an ongoing tournament. Before the surprising loss against Niemann, Carlsen had won 53 matches in a row.

Accusing Niemann of cheating

Following Carlsen’s shock exit, several have speculated that the Norwegian resigned because he believes Niemann cheated.

Ev of those who think it is the chess star Hikaru Nakamura, who talked about the big talking point in the chess world on Monday night on his Twitch channel.

There he made several accusations against Niemann, according to the website esports.gg. He claims, among other things, that Niemann has previously been caught cheating on chess.com.

– This is something I really shouldn’t say, but I say it anyway. There was a period of over six months where Hans did not play any prize money tournaments on chess.com. That’s all I have to say on this topic, Nakamura said.

– That is a fact

But that was far from the only thing he said. During the broadcast, he talked even more about the rumors that Niemann should have been caught cheating on chess.com, through a software – or “bot”, which also led to his being banned.

– It is not subject to debate, it is a fact, said Nakamura.

Niemann has so far not responded to the accusations from Nakamura.

After the match against Carlsen, the American said that he had studied the Norwegian’s opening carefully and thus gained an advantage from it.

Nakamura, for his part, is also skeptical of the 19-year-old’s analysis of the match against Carlsen, and believes his game does not at all indicate that he had prepared for Carlsen’s opening.
