Magnus Carlsen resign after one move against Hans Niemann
In a rematch of their round at the Sinquefield Cup earlier this month, which triggered one of the biggest recent debates in the sport of chess, reigning world champion Magnus Carlsen quit his preliminary matchup against Hans Niemann after just two moves in the Julius Baer Generation Cup on Monday.
The match took place virtually on Microsoft Teams, and was hosted by chess24.com, on which Carlsen appeared via webcam, made one move, disappeared, and simply quit the match.
