Puzzle: find the winning move when two world champions met
The 2022 Sinquefield Cup third-round game, where the then 19-year-old American Hans Niemann defeated the then world champion Magnus Carlsen, remains the most controversial chess encounter of recent years. It led to cheating accusations, a $100mn lawsuit, and a lasting hostility between the participants which has remained unresolved to this day.
Play is at the Gem Fitzrovia Hotel in Bolsover Street W1 . The six classical games start at 10am and 3 pm, Wednesday to Friday, with the Saturday and Sunday rapid and blitz sections both starting at 10am. Tickets are a pricey €53 a session, so spectator numbers may be low, but even apart from the prize money the match will be important for both players. Niemann is now up to 2719 and 23rd place in the live Fide world classical rankings.
