@chess_insights “The players threatened to match fix, so we gave them what they wanted.” What an organisation. What a “sport”.
English

@chess_insights The match fixer should be out from chess
English

@chess_insights Dvorkovich played Magnus like a child. He let go. He let him play and let him talk, and when Magnus made a mistake, Dvorkovich threw him under the bus. The Fide Federation disgraced itself, but it took Magnus with it.

@CmielThorsten @TarjeiJS A threat needs to actually be said to someone for them to be able to feel threatened. In this case the comment was said to Nepo, and FIDE didnt know about it, therefore they cannot possibly feel threathened.
English

@TarjeiJS How you call it else? A nice comment? How you call FU in nice words? How you call all the other comments in TTT? Arkady made a wrong call but this does not mean players are out of punishment.

The video wasn't a good look, but huge difference between talking (joking) about a hypothetical situation compared to actually making a pre-arranged draw. This was a sad end to the event, it was bad for the sport, but nowhere near match fixing.

@ChessbaseIndia Why don’t you mention the incident behind the scenes? Do you also agree on Magnus suggestions about quick draws in case Fide refuses? Do you agree on the k.o format which was in Magnus preference while 200 other players were out? Tiredness after two free days from Magnus?

@AnilPune3 @ChessbaseIndia @MagnusCarlsen @lachesisq @HariChess How is he an asshole for calling out dirty play?
English

@AntWadebridge @GMJacobAagaard @MeerMaurits He made a joke about it. He literally laughed. That video is not enough to say that Magnus and Nepo would match fix the next game.
English

@GMJacobAagaard @MeerMaurits Well Magnus suggested that and it’s on video. “If they don’t agree we can just play a load of short draws until they give up.”
English

@GernezDan @GMJacobAagaard Joking manner??? Wow we have a body language expert amongst us guys.
In all seriousness, given the way Carlsen has behaved during the whole event, he would have gone ahead with that for sure as protest. I felt he was right on the jeansgate thing, but this, he was totally wrong.

The @FIDE_chess CEO @EmilSutovsky on Carlsen and Nepo being awarded joint champions title in World Blitz:
English

@HeeZG0ne @ChessbaseIndia @FIDE_chess @EmilSutovsky FIDE decided to split gold for Magnus and Nepo. Who decided with 2020 India situation?
English

@ChessbaseIndia @FIDE_chess @EmilSutovsky we can't compare this to the 2020 India situation
at the time, it wasn't the player who decided the result
English

@somewheredense @MaxEmil_W @HansMokeNiemann You should go after FIDE then. Magnus and Nepo just asked if it was possible. FIDE made the decision.
English

@MaxEmil_W @HansMokeNiemann Yes, because that is how tournament rules work.
If a tournament says two players play until one loses, that is the rule. You cannot just add "unless they both decide to be co-champions" later on.
I am not saying the rules FIDE envisioned were good, but cannot just change them.
English

This is cause for an investigation by the FIDE Ethics committee. I can’t believe that 2 players who maliciously accused me and tried to ruin my career are openly breaking the rules. The irony simply can’t get any worse.

Magnus to Nepo: If they (FIDE) refuse (to declare us joint-winners) we'll play short draws until they give up. Idk what it's called in chess but in other sports it's called "match-fixing".
English

@3dgtiq @HansMokeNiemann He didnt fix a single game. It’s a joke in the video and no game was played after it.
English

@HansMokeNiemann Ian's a hypocrite, and Magnus is showing no respect for the game. He's lost it—mocking the classical format and fixing blitz games out of fear of losing. Now it's certain he left the match halfway because he was losing.
English

@PK61254270 @HansMokeNiemann And why niemannn checkmated Carlsen yesterday
