Abdusattorov is from Uzbekistan, and due to complicated flight connections and the pandemic, he has in recent years taken big steps through games on the internet. With online chess, cheating in chess has grown as large as a malignant cyst. Earlier this autumn, extensive cheating was revealed at both top and bottom level in chess. – It is a big problem, and measures to prevent it should be strict. The problem is going to get bigger and bigger, because cheating is very easy, says Abdusattorov to news. IMPRESSES: Nodirbek Abdusattorov has a fair amount of opposition from the board in Reykjavík.

This was revealed in the Niemann report prepared by the largest chess website in the world. Since Abdusattorov has played a lot on the internet, he has met many players on the wrong side of the rules. – I have met many cheaters online. I can see it in their movements, he says. He says it is reasonably easy to reveal, especially when he meets unknown players who play extraordinarily. – Online, it is difficult to see if the player is clean. Even grandmasters are not always pure, he says. – I have been cheated on in a long chess game, and I know how it feels. It’s not good, so I hope this is good for chess in the long run, says Hjörvar Steinn Gretarsson. Being compared to a choke snake So far in the World Cup, Uzbekistan’s Nodirbek Abdusattorov has swept the opposition off the board. With ten out of twelve points in the group stage, he was by far the best of the eight WC participants. – I didn’t think he was that strong, says reigning world champion Wesley So. Abdusattorov was discovered early by Russian Dmitry Kajumov, an experienced coach from Russia. Kajumov was generous with his praise when he described young Abdusattorov to the media in his home country: – Through 40 years as a coach in various countries, I have seen many great champions, but I have never seen a talent like him, Kajumov said. The former trainer died last year, but before he died he guaranteed that Abdusattorov would become world champion. – Mark my words, he said. When the Uzbek won the World Championship in rapid chess in the new year, the world’s chess press had to bring out superlatives.

He dubbed Indiske Express the “royal house that suffocates its opponents”. Passed the magical limit Even the Uzbek is measured about his own career, but he has slowly taken steps closer to the top of the world. Now he is ranked number 31 in the world, and number four as a junior. After three years “in the doldrums”, he recently took a big step towards the top of the world. Now he is a “2700 player”, a player with a rating of over 2700. – Finally!, says Abdusattorov. Thus, he hopes to focus on reaching the next dream limit, rather than exposing cheaters online. – I am very optimistic about the way forward, and now I will do my best to reach 2,800, says Abdusattorov to news.
