“Tricking Han”.
Those words must have been shouted from Norwegian Dance, according to Hans Niemann and his lawyers. There’s a new lighter fluid in cheat fire which was lit earlier this year.
The American alleges that Carlsen paid his Norwegian counterpart 300 euros to shout “Jukse-Hans” from the stands during a European club tournament in Mayrhofen, Austria.
In this interview, Tari spoke for the first time about the accusations and called the whole thing hilarious.
– Did you see that?

– I have no comment, Tari answered NRK when directly asked about it.
– Surprised
In the latest version of the lawsuit from the controversial American, who, among other things, is suing Magnus Carlsen for defamation, the name Tari appears.
He met NRK in connection with Norwegian Chess, where he was with most of the world’s chess elite.
– Of course I was surprised by that. I’m a bit unsure what he was talking about, Tari said of her immediate reaction.
Theodoros Tsorbatzoglou, General Secretary of the European Chess Federation, said Aftenposten at that time he had not heard anyone who could confirm Niemann’s story. He must consult the three different judges and delegates present during the tournament.
– Do you feel strange to mention?
– Very strange. I didn’t expect that, answered Tari.

– I didn’t see that coming. It’s almost funny. Not much has worked. The organizers said they had heard nothing, the chess player continued.
– desperate attempt
Niemann’s inflamed conflict began when Carlsen pulled out of the Sinquefield Cup last September after losing to the Americans. He indicated via cryptic messages on social media that the reason was cheating and then outlined the allegations against the 19-year-old.
– I think it was a desperate attempt to frame Magnus and get something out of him. I don’t think it’s going anywhere. He himself admitted to having an affair, Tari said of the lawsuit.

Niemann admitted to cheating in games on Chess.com when he was 12 and 16 years old. Since then he has been banned from the site.
Fide announced the decision in the Magnus Carlsen and Hans Niemann investigation in April. However, as NRK previously wrote, publication of the report was delayed. “At least until October,” said Fide’s Dana Reizniece-Ozola New York Time about how long people have to wait for a decision.
– This is a very strange thing. Many have calmed down and I don’t think anything else will happen, said Tari in closing.
