Romain Edouard: Magnus Carlsen has done everything right so far, and with class

Posted on

The Managing Editor Thinkers Publishing, Chess Grandmaster, Chess Coach GM Romain Edouard commented on the latest statement by Magnus Carlsen regarding the ongoing Carlsen – Niemann cheating allegations drama. Romain says, “Magnus Carlsen has done everything right so far, and with class. The argument that he is a cry-baby is absurd – he has never been one. He hates losing but NEVER blamed anyone but himself. It’s also clear that the STL game was just the cherry on the cake. Come on, wake up.”

With this tweet Romain Edouard continues the trend that top Grandmasters take Carlsen’s side in the ongoing conflict. Romain mentions the “cherry of the cake”, something that Hikaru Nakamura commented as well. Scroll down for full set of reactions and timeline on the Carlsen – Niemann case
