  Sally Simpson: Report from the Guardian.

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/a...

Just a few bits of interest, there is more in the main article;

"Both players were scanned before the game using a hand scanner, and were accompanied to the toilet by the Dutch chief arbiter, Frans Peeters, who took the scanner with him."

"Vitiugov sat in a still, symmetric pose and continually studied the board. Niemann, in contrast, was a real fidget. He crossed and recrossed his legs, ran his hands through his hair, stretched, shielded his eyes with his hand, and glanced at his opponent and sometimes round the room."

"Most of the few spectators were young, and did not play in leagues or tournaments, but followed Niemann on X."

(You have heard of 'Swifties' this lot are 'Niemanmites' )
