The world of chess has been in a state of turmoil for the past week over an affair that made headlines around the world, against the background of serious accusations of cheating and the stinging intervention of the famous entrepreneur Elon Musk.
It started with the retirement of the famous chess player Magnus Carlsen from a prestigious tournament in St. Louis (total prize money 350 thousand dollars), after his loss to the rising talent Hans Neumann, which caused a great uproar in the chess world after accusations of "cheating".
These are the most serious cheating allegations in the world of international chess since the World Championship match in 2005, when Veslin Toplov accused Vlad Kramnik of analyzing games in the bathroom.
Carlsen's loss to the 19-year-old Nyman was his first in many years to a lower-ranked opponent.
After the loss and retirement, he refused to speak, and only posted a tweet with a quote from Jose Mourinho saying "If I speak I will be in big trouble", words the famous Portuguese coach said during a press conference about referees.
Serious accusations.

The words were interpreted as an implied accusation of cheating, and later in the tournament security was increased, the broadcast of the fourth round was delayed by 15 minutes, and Neiman was thoroughly checked by the security guards, who found nothing suspicious.
At the same time, Hikaru Nakamura, another famous player, revealed that in his youth Niemann was suspended by the website chess.com after it was found that he used the help of a computer in online games.
"I'll only say one thing about the matter, and I won't elaborate," said Nakamura, "Magnus thinks the rapist probably cheated."
Neiman has become a rising star, after jumping 250 steps in the world rankings in recent years, despite not having a coach.
After beating Carlsen, he broke his streak of 53 games without a loss.
"I guess it's embarrassing for the world champion to lose to me, I feel bad for him," he said.
Then the rumors and accusations started.
The network claimed that Neiman cheated with the help of an anal device, which vibrates to give him signals about the right move to make.
The one who joined this claim was Elon Musk, the famous billionaire.

Musk tweeted a paraphrase of a quote from the German philosopher: "Talent manages to hit a target no one can, a genius hits a target no one sees (because it's in his ass) - Schopenhauser."
Musk then deleted the tweet.
He also tweeted that "you can almost hear the sound of the rubber glove on the hand, searching before the chess game...", before deleting this tweet as well.

This aroused such great interest that, even though the accusation seems unfounded, Nieman had to address it and deny the things.
The 19-year-old American responded and said: "I won't let them discredit my reputation... Do whatever test you want for Fair Play, I don't care because I'm clean. Do you want to strip me completely and play naked? I'll do it. I don't care because I know I'm clean."
