We can assume with some confidence that Carlsen is implying:
(1) Niemann should not have been allowed into the tournament
(2) Due to sufficient cheating evidence, and that he
(3) Does not wish to make a statement to avoid any legal jeopardy.
His approach so far can be seen as better than skipping tournaments or trying to force tournaments to not include Hans if they want Magnus to attend.

- robocat 4y agoThis is a meta-game for Carlsen. He likes playing games with rules, and he is probably enjoying himself. How do we tell the difference between HN comments by people ignorant of this particular meta-game, and insightful commentary by highly skilled meta-players? Wikipedia about Carlsen: “he reached the No. 1 spot on a Fantasy Premier League game, ahead of seven million other players, before eventually finishing the season in 10th place. In April 2022, Carlsen played poker at the Norwegian Championships Main Event and finished 25th out of 1050 players”.
- Cthulhu_ 4y agoYeah but, why not just continue playing, lose, and have the analysts come up with the evidence the other guy is cheating? It sounds like he's just being rebellious now, refusing to play in the first place. If he loses against a computer, that's fine; if it provides evidence that the other guy is cheating, great. I'm sure Carlsen knows how to play in a way that makes known chess engines behave in a certain way.
