FIDE Seams To Have No Intention Of Being Unbiased, Care About Only One Player Says Hans Niemann Slaming Magnus Carlsen World Body Over 'Shared' Blitz Title

Mumbai, India - American Grandmaster Hans Niemann has taken a strong stance against the World Chess Federation (FIDE) over its recent decision to award Ian Nepomniachtchi and Magnus Carlsen a shared World Blitz title in New York.

Niemann expressed his disgust with FIDE's prioritization of Carlsen's interests over impartiality, stating that the organization seems to be under his control. The American GM described the move as "absurd" and claimed that it sets a bad precedent for the chess world.

"There's one world champion, and it's not a title that you can just share," Niemann said in an interview. "The chess world is officially a joke. This has never been done in history."

Niemmann also criticized FIDE for giving into financial pressure, implying that Carlsen must have threatened to leave the organization if his demands were not met. The American accused Carlsen of being overzealous with his requests and questioned why the FIDE would bend to his will.

"FIDE goes from forfeiting Carlsen to creating an entirely new rule," Niemann said. "Seems like the regulatory body of chess, has no intention of being unbiased. They seem to only care about what one player thinks."

Niemmann vowed to work tirelessly towards regaining the ultimate goal and ensuring that such incidents do not recur in the future.

"Nimi will be working my heart out to make it to the final next year to ensure that no 'Championships' are arbitrarily 'shared'," he said. "Onwards."

The move has been met with widespread criticism from chess fans worldwide, many of whom see it as an attempt by Carlsen to exploit his power and influence within the FIDE.

It remains to be seen how the chess community responds to Niemann's criticism, but one thing is certain: the young American GM has sparked a crucial conversation about impartiality and fairness in international chess competitions.
