Buch von Ben Mezrich beleuchtet Schach-Kontroverse um Carlsen und Niemann

Ben Mezrich liefert in seinem neuen Buch Checkmate neue Details zum Streit zwischen Magnus Carlsen und Hans Niemann. Das Werk basiert auf Interviews mit Beteiligten des Skandals, der die moderne Schachwelt erschütterte. Eine E-Book-Version erschien im April, die gebundene Ausgabe ist für Juni geplant.

Mezrich beschreibt Niemann als ein Wunderkind mit komplexen Charakterzügen. Er weist auf die einsame Erziehung des Spielers und dessen Glauben an seine eigene Bestimmung für Großes hin. Mezrich geht zudem auf Carlsens Entscheidung ein, nach einer Niederlage im Jahr 2022 in St. Louis Betrugsvorwürfe anzudeuten, und stellt fest, dass der Norweger damals ohne ausreichende Beweise handelte. Er fügt hinzu, dass Carlsen seine Ansicht seit den Ereignissen vor vier Jahren nicht geändert hat.
