MAGNUS CARLSEN BLASTS LACK OF ANTI-CHEATING EFFORTS IN CHESS AFTER QATAR MASTERS

Chess legend Magnus Carlsen says cheating in chess is still a major issue after
a stunning round 2 loss in the Qatar Masters tournament.



Carlsen, the world’s top-ranked chess pro, was left humbled at the hands of
Kazakh Grandmaster Alisher Suleymenov on October 12, but Magnus isn’t taking the
loss lightly.

In a scathing post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Carlsen referenced his drama
with Hans Niemann, whom he had suggested cheated in order to beat him last year,
and the lack of anti-cheat measures since.

According to Magnus, his opponent’s decision to wear a watch during their match
played a crucial factor in his defeat, and he lashed out at the event’s staff
for its lack of anti-cheat protocols.

MAGNUS CARLSEN SAYS CHESS TOURNAMENTS AREN’T TAKING CHEATING SERIOUSLY

While the Nordic icon praised Suleymenov’s game and claimed that his opponent
deserved to win, he took issue with the Qatar Masters organizers and how they
are handling the event.

“I was completely crushed in my game today. This is not to accuse my opponent of
anything, who played an amazing game and deserved to win, but honestly, as soon
as I saw my opponent was wearing a watch early in the game, I lost my ability to
concentrate,” he explained.

He continued, claiming that, although losing concentration was his own issue and
something he would need to deal with, he noticed several potential cheating
methods that are ongoing at events.

“It’s also incredibly frustrating to see organizers still not taking
anti-cheating seriously at all,” he slammed.

In addition to his opponent wearing a watch, Magnus listed a lack of
transmission delay, and spectators walking around with smartphones as ways that
competitors could nefariously impact the results.

After chess cheating made headlines following accusations made against Hans
Niemann, which resulted in a massive lawsuit, it will be interesting to see how
tournaments respond and if these remarks are enough to make changes.

Niemann was, however, cleared of any wrongdoing, as Chess.com found that the
American Grandmaster didn’t cheat in any in-person games.
