Magnus Carlsen brands US teen nemesis a CHEAT amid accusations he used vibrating anal beads to win

>

The world’s No. 1 chess player Magnus Carlsen called American teen Hans Niemann a cheat after claiming the fellow grandmaster used vibrating anal beads to win matches.

Carlsen, 31, said on Monday that his decision to abruptly resign from the Sinquefield Cup tournament against Niemann after just one move on September 19 was a “professional decision” to keep the game of chess.

“I know my actions have frustrated many in the chess community,” Carlsen wrote in a statement. ‘I’m frustrated. I want to play chess. I want to keep playing chess at the highest level in the best events.’

“I believe that cheating in chess is a major problem and an existential threat to the game.”

He later added, “So far I’ve only been able to talk to my actions, and those actions have clearly stated that I’m not willing to play chess with Niemann. I hope the truth about this matter comes to light, whatever it may be.”

Meanwhile, Niemann continues to deny the charges of cheating.

“I’ve never cheated in an over-the-board game. If they want me to undress completely, I will do it,” he said.

Carlsen continued in the statement about the need to improve in-game security measures to prevent cheating.

The chess star admitted that he “considered strongly” withdrawing from the Sinquefield Cup when he learned that Niemann had been invited at the last minute.

“In the end I chose to play,” he wrote.

Carlsen said he noticed Niemann wasn’t “completely focused on the game” but could excel.

“His progress across the board was unusual, and during our Sinquefield Cup game I had the impression that he was not tense or even fully focused on the play in critical positions, as he outplayed me as black in a way that I think that only a handful of players can do. This game helped change my perspective,” Carlsen wrote.

Footage from the tournament showed Niemann and Carlsen playing less than a minute before the world champion unexpectedly resigned.

“We need to do something about cheating, and as far as I’m concerned, I don’t want to play against people who have cheated repeatedly in the past because I don’t know what they can do in the future,” Carlsen says. wrote.

Arkady Dvorkovich, the president of the International Chess Federation (FIDE), said in a statement Friday that he did not approve of Carlsen’s behavior by withdrawing from the Sinquefield Cup and abandoning his match against his 19-year-old opponent.

Addressing the world Carlsen, Dvorkovich said the 31-year-old Norwegian has a “moral responsibility” because he is “seen as a global ambassador for the game.”

‘His actions affect the reputation of his colleagues, sporty’ [sport-related] results, and can end up damaging our game. We are convinced that there were better ways to deal with this situation,” he said.

The statement didn’t “specify” what situation they were referring to, though it’s likely the sensational anal beading claim that Neimann has denied.

He is accused of using a vibrating, remote-controlled sex toy to gain an advantage over Carlsen by having an accomplice buzz the device to help him make better moves.

The president said the game’s governing body is looking to create a group of “specialists” who will eradicate cheating from FIDE events.

“FIDE is ready to task its Fair Play Committee with a thorough investigation into the incident,” Dvorkovich said.

The chess body boss said more evidence would be needed before such an investigation could begin.

Neimann lost in the quarterfinals on Thursday, ruling out the possibility of a dramatic rematch between the cheating prodigy and Carlsen.

The teen allegedly cheated by using remote-controlled vibrating anal beads to communicate with his coach, Maxim Dlugy.

Neimann’s coach was banned from Chess.com in 2017 after allegedly cheating on one of the titles, and was the first to suspect Borislav Ivanov of cheating with a device in his shoes in 2013.

Dlugy, a former chess prodigy, was also jailed on charges of attempted embezzlement of $9 million from a magnesium factory he ran in Russia, but he was later acquitted of all charges.

Carlsen was questioned about his thoughts on the bizarre claims of cheating by a reporter in Oslo.

“Unfortunately, I can’t speak to that specifically, but people can draw their own conclusions and they certainly have,” Carlsen said. “I have to say I’m very impressed with Niemann’s game and I think his mentor Maxim Dlugy must do a great job.”

With Neimann’s recent loss, Carlsen will now face Vincent Keymer in the semi-finals, and if he wins, he will face either Liem or Argun Erigaisi.

Niemann has furiously denied using vibrating anal beads to get tips on how to play. The teenage star said, “I’ve never cheated in an over-the-board game. If they want me to undress completely, I will.

‘I do not care. Because I know I’m clean. If you want me to play in a closed box with no electronic transmission, I don’t care. I’m here to win and that’s my goal no matter what.’

But critics note that his Elo rating, which measures the strength of chess players, shot to 2701 after his win over Carlsen, from just 2484 in January 2021, a staggering increase that some find unlikely.

And Niemann has admitted to cheating in online chess tournaments as a kid, saying he deeply regrets it.

In an online match when he was 12, he said that one of his friends brought an iPad with a “chess engine” program that offered the most likely path to victory.

The person playing Niemann couldn’t see him and so was unaware of what was happening.
