The world's No. 1 chess player Magnus Carlsen branded US teen Hans Niemann a cheat after alleging the fellow grandmaster was using vibrating anal beads to win matches. Carlsen, 31, said on Monday that his decision to abruptly resign from the Sinquefield Cup tournament against Niemann after only one move on September 19 was a 'professional decision' to preserve the game of chess. 'I know that my actions have frustrated many in the chess community,' Carlsen wrote in a statement. 'I'm frustrated. I want to play chess. I want to continue to play chess at the highest level in the best events.'
