In response, stated that it had “privately removed” Niemann’s account from its website and the Global Championship in Toronto decided to uninvite Niemann. Though no concrete evidence has yet been brought forward to back accusations of cheating, a recent interview in which Niemann acknowledged that he had violated the rules in the past by using computer assistance in online games made the rounds. This included scanning Niemann before his next match. To further spice things up, the same day Carlsen withdrew (5 September), the World Chess Hall of Fame suspiciously decided to beef up its anti-cheating security measures. No further explanation was provided, but many interpreted Carlsen’s post as insinuating that Niemann cheated during the game. If I speak I am in big trouble… and I don’t want to be in big trouble.” The five-time World Chess champion also added a video of football coach Jose Mourinho’s 2020 news conference speech held after a game in which his team may have lost due to questionable officiating: “I prefer not to speak. I’ve always enjoyed playing in the Saint Louis Chess Club, and hope to be back in the future,” he tweeted. Niemann was the lowest ranking of the 10 players in Saint Louis, and had become the first chess player to beat Carlsen in more than two years.Ĭarlsen decided to withdraw from the event following his loss. The 4 September win at the Sinquefield Cup in Saint Louis represented something of a meteoric rise for Niemann and was unexpected, as Magnus had not been beaten in 53 sittings. What happened (before anal beads got involved)? Niemann has been hit with accusations on social media which state that the only reason he won against the world’s top grandmaster Magnus Carlsen earlier this month is that the young player cheated using wireless vibrating anal beads. I hope that the truth on this matter comes out, whatever it may be. So far I have only been able to speak with my actions, and those actions have stated clearly that I am not willing to play chess with Niemann. Unfortunately, at this time I am limited in what I can say without explicit permission from Niemann to speak openly. We must do something about cheating, and for my part going forward, I don’t want to play against people that have cheated repeatedly in the past, because I don’t know what they are capable of doing in the future. This game contributed to changing my perspective. His over the board progress has been unusual, and throughout our game in the Sinquefield Cup I had the impression that he wasn’t tense or even fully concentrating on the game in critical positions, while outplaying me as black in a way I think only a handful of players can do. Meanwhile, the Byron pro-holiday let group says council claims that the 90-day cap would return 1500 homes to the permanent rental pool would be “impossible” as there are only 1136 homes on the official NSW short-term register in the Byron Bay area.I believe that Niemann has cheated more - and more recently - than he has publicly admitted. State governments seem content to let market forces determine the outcomes but when a holiday rental apartment in an inner-city or seaside suburb can attract two to five times as much as a residential let, things are likely to get out of kilter.
In many traditional holiday destinations, short-term rentals price residential tenants out of the market – as has been proven by a number of academic studies.
And don’t even ask about the teachers, firefighters, cops and nurses. The problem for the Byron council is that the workers who keep the tourist wheels turning can’t afford to live in the town. Tourist operators and property investors in Byron Bay are trying to head off moves by Byron Shire Council to limit holiday lets there to a maximum of 90 nights a year.Ī “coalition of local ratepayers, families and business owners” has sent out emails saying the cap would “crush local businesses and destroy jobs without fulfilling its stated purpose, increasing the rental pool”.
