29 December 2023 at 23:03 Nordmann meets Niemann in the World Chess Championship For the first time since the chess row with Magnus Carlsen, Hans Niemann will physically meet a Norwegian at the chessboard. It happens in the 13th parity in the World Rapid Chess Championship, which is the first Saturday. American Niemann is pitted against Johan-Sebastian Christiansen. It will be Niemann’s first physical meeting with a Norwegian since the victory against Carlsen in the Singuefield Cup last September, which was the start of the chess brawl between the two. Carlsen withdrew from the tournament after the loss, accusing Niemann of cheating. When they met in an online tournament a few weeks later, Carlsen withdrew after a few seconds. Saturday at At 10.00, Niemann and Christiansen meet, who both have 6.5 points after the opening day of the World Rapid Chess Championship. Follow and watch the chess WC here.
