Mr Carlsen left the tournament the following day, something The New York Times called “an exceedingly rare move, especially among top players in elite events”. The executive director of the St Louis Chess Club, Tony Rich, said in a statement that “a player’s decision to withdraw from a tournament is a personal decision, and we respect Magnus’ choice”. I have sacrificed everything for chess, and I do everything I can to improve.” “As an arbiter in FIDE, or Fédération Internationale des Échecs, the governing body of professional chess, I have known Mr Niemann since he was a talented scholastic player, and have had to navigate his difficult behavior on more than one occasion,” Greg Keener wrote for The New York Times, calling his personality “abrasive”. “I’m not going to let Chess.com, I’m not going to let Magnus Carlsen, I’m not going to let Hikaru Nakamura, the three arguably biggest entities in chess, simply slander my reputation,” Mr Niemann said.
