Russian coach and chess player Sergei Shipov in his Telegram channel condemned Russian Daniil Dubov for helping Norwegian Magnus Carlsen in the match for the chess crown with Russian challenger Ian Nepomniachtchi.
Shipov considered that after what happened, Dubov should not be involved in playing for the Russian national team. “Eh, Danya, Danya … Well, why? How much? The seeds of discord have been thrown into the Russian national team. It turns out the classic situation “Stranger among friends” “, – wrote the chess player.
In the fight for the chess crown, Carlsen outplayed Nepomniachtchi with a score of 7.5: 3.5. The Norwegian achieved an early victory in 11 games, the last of which took place on December 10. The defeat of the Russian grandmaster in the decisive match of the World Championship was the largest since 1993.
25-year-old Dubov is the 2018 world rapid chess champion. He was a member of the Russian youth team and won the Olympics under 16.
