@vivify saidWrong.
Isn't it obvious? He thinks Hans is a cheater and refuses to play against him.
He plays against him, and then throws a tiff. He's being a little girl about this.

@shallow-blue saidYou continually hyperbolize Magnus' actions when your claims couldn't further from the truth. Magnus has been quiet and reserved about his decisions to withdraw or resign. He hasn't been going on Twitter rants, he hasn't been talking trash during interviews and he hasn't been making a scene during games.
No, but the way he's doing it does.
He should put his cards on the table, not throw his rattle out of the pram. If he didn't want to play Niemann, he shouldn't have played him to begin with, not throw a tiff like this. He's making himself look like The Donald throwing ketchup at the wall.
@vivify saidWell, that last one's certainly wrong. Quoting the self-proclaimed "Special One"? Come on, how self-indulgent can you get!?

@vivify saidTwo replies to one post in a row. Within three minutes.
Magnus calmly resigns and then logs off.
Shallow Blue: "OMG, he's going nuts!!!"
@ponderable saidCannot disagree either.
Very good advise...valid before condemning anyone 😉

It is an intriguing tale…
So, in this digital tournament, Magnus resigned after one move, but he’s still in the tournament, but his (the one accused of cheating) has been knocked out in the quarter finals. Is this correct?
@ogb saidMaybe Magnus just had a bad day at that physical tournament.
yes
@vivify saidThe article states,"In 2005, the Chess GM got entangled in a $9 million embezzlement and spent months in a Russian prison – though he was then acquitted."

Not only that, the coach, Maxim Dlugy, was also imprisoned after being convicted for embezzlement.
@fmdavidhlevin saidThanks for the correction. The coach is not a criminal, just a cheater like Hans.
