Russian grandmaster Sergei Karjakin appreciated the fact that Russian Daniil Dubov helped Norwegian Magnus Carlsen in the match for the chess crown with Russian challenger Ian Nepomniachtchi. His words are quoted by “Championship.com”.
“Let it be on his conscience,” the chess player commented on Dubov’s actions. He stressed that he considers Dubov a strong athlete, but he cannot understand his act. Karjakin said that he would never do that and would not try to lure the Norwegians into his team.
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.
After the fight, Dubov was criticized for being the Norwegian’s second. In particular, the chess player Sergei Shipov considered that the chess player should not be involved in playing for the Russian national team.
