Carlsen Outrageous Behavior

Resigns after one move?! He owes chess a clear explanation. He needs to explain and provide proof that Neimann cheated in the St. Louis game or apologize for his behavior, FIDE should sanction him absent a reasonable explanation.

Just ban that guy. Who does he think he is, Bobby Fischer?
Ban Magnus, he doesn't care about chess. All that is at stake for him is money, money, money..

Agreed. It must be addressed.

His resignation may possibly have a material outcome on the tournament, especially with qualification spots up for grabs. That might be viewed as unfair on other competitors, and is potentially a serious enough issue to warrant a discussion on disqualification. It'll be interesting to see what the arbiters do here.

Do Magnus KNOW SOMETHING that the public don’t know ?

If he does, let him tell the world what it is.

Wonder if Magnus has the deep details underlying the previous weeks statement from chess.com, where the following was released: «We have shared detailed evidence with him concerning our decision, including information that contradicts his statements regarding the amount and seriousness of his cheating on Chess.com", and that he knows something from that info that can not be published, where that info make him want to avoid playing more with Niemann? Just speculating.

I'm afraid Carlsen is now damaging his own reputation.

If I just decided not to do my assignments when I reported to work...
