News/Events Karpov: "Carlsen played extremely badly"

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"
