The statement caused discontent among the participants, Yu himself objected, saying that Neiman underestimated him. championship winner, Fabiano Caruana – One of the best chess players in the past decade, he was able to play a match for the world title in 2018 With Magnus Carlsen After the fourth round, he commented on his victory over Neiman:
I don’t think we’re talking about terms anymore.
Perhaps the most difficult is the fifth place in the world ranking, Wesley So He said after the third round.
Almost no one is respected in the chess world. Called other players stupid and stuff. And he beats the mighty Magnus too… Everyone knows Hans is probably the most disrespectful teenager in the chess world
– Note the great teacher of Filipino descent, now in American colors.
We can cite two additional values. In the final of the World Championships, Jan Nyepomnyascsijt lost to Carlsen, and the American Hikaru Nakamura, who was disqualified this year – I wonder why? – USA Championships, they also speak critically about the new star accused of fraud. And the private opinion of the vast majority is more destructive – as Caruana hinted – than what they say officially.
So Hans Niemann is under a lot of pressure, which he handles quite well.
Although he had an awkward period in the US Championships. In addition to the draw, he also lost three of his four matches between the fourth and seventh rounds. Then he found himself. In the tenth round, he was defeated by the last-placed Elshan Moradiabadi, after which he made another announcement:
I am a competitive chess player. I’m on my way to a world title
— adding that he feels his hair swing back at him.
It is clear that the competitor’s statement is often read upside down, but there is no doubt that he kept his word. He won three matches in a row, scoring seven points over the thirteen rounds, finished the tournament with a plus in the language of chess, just fulfilled his expectations, and it was no coincidence that he finished in sixth place, which is generally an acceptable result.
However, the kidnapper is yet to come. Once the tournament is over, the Wall Street Journal Reported – how it was the first to break the news in Hungary Origin Announced – Hans Niemann has filed a lawsuit in the Eastern Missouri District Court against Magnus Carlsen and Chess.com.
Neiman is seeking $100 million in damages in the lawsuit, which he says race organizers have ignored since the allegations surfaced.
And we can remember that the world champion withdrew from the St. Louis Super Championship at the beginning of September, after losing to Neiman in the third round, in what he believed were suspicious circumstances. The two chess players met immediately at the next prestigious event, the Generation Online Cup, but Carlsen refused to play with Niemann, so he abandoned the party instead. After the tournament, the world champion formulated in words his accusations that Neiman cheated several times in chess.
