A bizarre controversy has taken over the world of professional chess and thrust it into the mainstream, centered on accusations of cheating and a sex toy.
Norwegian Magnus Carlsen, the world No. 1, abruptly left his online match against American Hans Niemann at the Julius Baer Generation Cup Monday after only one move. Carlsen withdrew from the Sinquefield Cup, an event in St. Louis, Missouri, a week earlier after losing to Niemann. Another shocker as @MagnusCarlsen simply resigns on move 2 vs. @HansMokeNiemann! https://t.co/2fpx8lplTI#ChessChamps #JuliusBaerGenerationCup pic.twitter.
I've withdrawn from the tournament. I've always enjoyed playing in the @STLChessClub, and hope to be back in the future https://t.co/YFSpl8er3uCarlsen refused to say what the reason for withdrawing from the match Monday was in an interview on Wednesday. When directly asked if it was due to cheating allegations related to Niemann, he declined to comment.
There is no solid evidence to support these theories, but it has not stopped them from spreading around the internet like wildfire.
