Chess Grandmaster Hans Niemann Accuses Botez Sisters of Immoral Gambling Promotion
Hans Niemann, a chess grandmaster, accused the Botez sisters of the “immoral promotion of gambling”.
Niemann was accused of cheating in chess and defeated Magnus Carlsen in a tournament game. Carlsen withdrew from the event and resigned on move two during an online tournament game, refusing to play Niemann. Niemann admitted that he had cheated online in the past.
Alexandra Botez accused Niemann of engagement farming with clickbait. Qiyu Zhou, aka Nemsko, offered to give Niemann a free poker lesson. Alex “Thallo” Epstein accused Niemann of not paying up for a previously agreed bet.
