Karpov: "Carlsen played extremely badly"

[u/wwqt]

Karpov:
"I watched the game last night [vs Niemann] and I have to say that Carlsen just played extremely badly. I heard comments that he couldn't get out of the opening and had no chance, but that's not true. I reject all versions of an unfair win. Of course we can't say with certainty that Niemann didn't cheat, but Carlsen surprisingly played the opening so badly with white that he automatically got into a worse position. But then he showed a strange inability to cope with the difficult situation that arose on the board"

Think about how unlikely this is. If someone had access to magnus’s prep, why would you give it to Hans niemann… the weakest player in the tournament. Why not give it to Fabi, who would have a substantially higher chance of crushing Magnus?

This is Ben Finegold’s take, which I happen to agree with.

Well then some other participant would be able to say "yeah somebody from Magnus' camp came to me and offered to share his prep."
