12 world champion Karpov believes that the trial of Carsen and Niemann is a good advertisement

The trial is beneficial to Hans Niemann, as it will become a worldwide advertisement for the American grandmaster

“I do not know where Niemann’s confidence in the success of this case comes from, since there have already been many of his parties that are questionable. Many of them even proved that he cheated. But it is profitable for him, since it is an advertisement for the whole world, he is suing the world champion. I do not know how it will end, but sometimes American courts make amazing decisions,” Karpov added.
