As much as I want to support Carlsen/Nakamura camp... Honestly Niemann’s claims of conspiracy seem wild, but not totally outrageous. My opinion of the situation has been largely informed by findings from Chess.com reports, and so if Niemann wants to claim that he’s being conspired against, seems like we should rely on a consensus of impartial chess experts, of which there must be plenty.

Everybody involved should know that the public would be more interested in knowing who is lying in a court of law than blindly taking sides. If Carlsen camp settles out you know he’s got nothing.
