What we know: How a cheating scandal has rocked the world of chess
USA TodayMAY 2022
While Niemann has a checkered past, the idea that he's been able to cheat in the highly-scrutinized world of professional chess is far-fetched. With every player being screened and every game being supervised, no one has found evidence of cheating. It seems that Carlsen is simply upset that he's now lost to the 19-year-old multiple times.
With Niemann's history of cheating, coupled with accusations against him from the world No. 1, it's time the International Chess Federation investigate the matter and finally put it to rest. Whether it finds Niemann guilty or not, his admitted history of cheating should put him under the microscope until the investigation is over.
