Heidi Baxendale: <saturn2> <Carlsen hinted he suspects also in the Soringfield game there was something wrong with Niemann. He has offered a proof so far. > Did you mean that he offered no proof so far? Unless you consider "he didn't seem to be concentrating" as proof? |

Heidi Baxendale: <MeMelad> <Oh Magnus is convinced for sure. Based somewhat on intuition probably but for him that’s probably enough.> Unfortunately for Magnus that's not enough for FIDE. If he's unable to prove that Hans cheated in their Sinquefield game then they will suspend |
