The world's top chess player Magnus Carlsen branded US teen prodigy Hans Niemann a cheat amid allegations the fellow grandmaster used vibrating anal beads to win matches.
Carlsen, 31, said on Monday that his decision to abruptly resign from the prestigious Sinquefield Cup tournament against Niemann after only one move on September 19 was a "professional decision" to preserve chess."I'm frustrated. I want to play chess. I want to continue to play chess at the highest level in the best events.
Niemann has continued to deny cheating allegations previously offering to strip naked to show he wasn't cheating.
