British newspaper “Evening Standard”: Niemann denies sex toy helped defeat Carlsen

Hans Niemann has denied allegations of using anal beads as a transmitter of the correct moves, which were supposed to have helped him beat world champion Magnus Carlsen at the last tournament in St. Louis.

Hitting back at internet rumours Niemann said: “If they want me to strip fully naked, I will do it. I don’t care. Because I know I am clean. You want me to play in a closed box with zero electronic transmission, I don’t care. I’m here to win and that is my goal regardless.”
