Will Magnus play Hans?
Sort:
idk
It's gonna be some good drama. I just saw that interview with that news commentator from Norway and Magnus seemed very polite but didn't go into the subject of cheating very much when she broached the Hans and cheating subjects.
I think they would not meet until the finals. Assuming they both win their first 2 rounds.
Carlsen vs Aronian, Niemann vs Le, and two other match pairings tomorrow.
Carlsen said today that he will likely speak after the tournament.
dawn of a new age for the game of cheat.
There is a good chance they meet in the final. Magnus was way ahead of everyone in the preliminary round. Hans is awfully strong online for obvious reasons. So maybe they meet in the finals and Magnus resigns his games quickly.
I believe Magnus has made it clear that he will not play Hans in this tournament.
So if they are forced to square off, I'm expecting Magnus to resign again (or simply not show up).
They are in different branches, so the only way they play is in the final, which is reasonably possible. Particularly, there seems a good change Magnus makes the final. It would be pretty dramatic if Hans won the tournament because Magnus refused to play him.

Who really cares? Everybody, be totally genuinely on-line anonymously honest. I say put ‘em both in the octagon, winner take all, best of three fall, grudge match. Not THAT, would be must stream pay per view genius eh? Eh?
Any way it’s clear Magnus will not play a single game against Neimann because he believes he is cheating and he is right. The sooner this guy is out of chess the better.
Interesting many magnus believers here
