A chess mystery that needs urgent solving

Hindustan Times  

On Monday, Magnus Carlsen resigned from an online match against 19-year-old Hans Niemann after making only one move, reigniting a feud between the players in their first meeting since the American’s controversial victory over Mr Carlsen at the Sinquefield Cup earlier this month when the rumours of cheating against the teenager surfaced. But until there is a clear way forward, Mr Carlsen’s actions are also hurting the game. Mr Niemann, on his part, can’t do much because he doesn’t quite belong to the big boys club. The other grandmasters aren’t saying much either, and, therefore, the sport’s governing body must step in to clear the air.
