I think camp Carlsen played this hand incredibly poorly the more I think about it. If Carlsen thought Niemann was cheating, the only correct way to proceed would have been to silently alert FIDE, to silently investigate Niemann. Instead Carlsen went to the public, crying on Twitter like a regular Elonye West. That is indicative of a person being mad, imo. But, that’s just speculation, it’s not helpful.
Niemann will be scrutinized for the rest of his career, especially if the court case proves inconclusive.
I hope the court case finds the truth, whatever it may be, and that Niemann is given the chance in competitive play to challenge the accusation that he is a cheater. I mean if he’s a cheater, won’t it be obvious with everybody watching now? What is there to lose?
Furthermore, Chess stands to lose its luster and appeal if this is how its prodigies behave. In a game that computer science has utterly solved at this point.
