Magnus again resigns against Hans Niemann after 2 moves in Champions Chess Tour / #BanMagnus

<Comment deleted by user>
His displeasure at Hans, is laying waste to the integrity of the tourney.
Every other opponent had/has to try to win against Magnus, yet Hans just gets a free easy victory.
I'd not have Magnus at any tournament, in the future.

His behaviour is on par with a petulant 3 yr old.
He doesn't need to say anything.

Actions speak louder than words.

It is only clueless chess virgins/ people on the spectrum that can't hear him.
^ Hans should attempt to play in every single tournament that Magnus is signed up for.
If some poor loser is going to give you free wins, and thus help you make more money, why not take it?
If he feels a bit bad about it,he could donate to some charity, and at least get a tax deduction out of it.

Yes Magnus' actions do speak to being a poor loser ,quite well, don't they?
Magnus has lost games before and never behaved like this. It isn't logical to assume he is just a poor loser.
Well another thing he has never done before is to not defend his title. Maybe something snapped inside his genius brain.
Niemann has confessed multiple times to cheating TWICE in online chess, and has been caught a THIRD time here on lichess using engine assistance.
Carlsen has every right to refuse to play online chess against someone who has been proven beyond reasonable doubt to cheat online regularly.

Absolutely. And the right etiquette in such case is to declare beforehand that you forfeit the game. Not play one move and then resign.
@irollthenickels relatable but WHY DOES HE NOT SPEAK THEN ...

hearing this just somewhat threw me off and he's making quite a fool of himself this way

He gets enough backlash even from his home country

There's proctoring, even more after the incident, and if that's not enough for Magnus he should settle things differently.

And btw Hans was banned on Lichess too?? The account of his that I know is in good state
