World chess champion Magnus Carlsen has for the first time openly accused fellow player Hans Niemann of cheating. In a statement, he said he believed  Niemann had "cheated more — and more recently — than he has publicly admitted", though offered no evidence. Carlsen had previously made veiled accusations against Niemann, who beat him this month in a major upset. Niemann, 19, has denied cheating in competitive chess and has accused Carlsen of trying to ruin his career. KAN's Mark Weiss spoke with Nick Kopaloff, co-director of the Netanya Chess Club, about the accusation of cheating.
