Dvorkovich obviously had nothing to say at Fide, otherwise the Fide Council would not have suddenly declared the negotiations over, Buettner said. According to Jan Henric Buettner, he no longer has any contact with Fide President Dvorkovich.

Innerhalb weniger Tage verlor ich etwa 100 Elopunkte, fiel von 1440 auf 1340. Natürlich spiele ich trotzdem weiter. Ich liebe Schach, es ist ein wunderschönes Spiel. Hoffnung macht mir Dina Belenkaya.

“As I understand it, this is a cooperation between Magnus, chess.com and the Esports Foundation,” says von Wersch: Carlsen is promoting chess at the World Cup, not the country of Saudi Arabia. Furthermore, Carlsen has committed himself to the values of FC St. Pauli.

Fans say that Saudi Arabia stands for “oppression of women's rights, persecution of political opponents, assassinations of journalists, slavery, torture, executions”. The fans also write that Carlsen's advertising contract is not compatible with the values of FC St. Pauli.

"In chess it is important that - theoretically speaking - you have full information about all the forces at work on the board (...). In any case this attempt looks promising compared to an attempt to understand the chaos of the world."
