I’m starting to see conspiracy theories about @HansMokeNiemann fester on Reddit and Youtube, so I will address what I have seen so far. A thread.
@HansMokeNiemann A Lance Armstrong comparison isn’t valid. Even back in 2004, there was a French book, L.A. Confidentiel, which presented strong circumstantial evidence of Armstrong’s doping. There have been no suspicions of Niemann cheating over the board until Magnus left the #SinquefieldCup 1/
@HansMokeNiemann People are bringing up a theory that Niemann does better in tournaments using DGT boards, but this data has not been replicated by others. See this tweet: 2/

Some interesting quotes by Carlsen in a recent interview with VG (subscribers only). In this thread. 👇#CarlsenCaruana
Carlsen: "I know more chess than I did in 2013, but still my rating is lower and my results are worse. It just doesn't make sense." #CarlsenCaruana
Carlsen says he may not have the same energy as he used to have when he peaked: "I felt that I didn't have as much energy against Karjakin in 2016. But it's not just in World Championships, tournaments as well." #CarlsenCaruana
