“I respect the decision.
Next will be Yang's match with Ding Liren, ”Match TV quotes Dvorkovich.
Carlsen announced on July 20 that he refused to play with Nepomniachtchi for the world chess crown.
According to the Norwegian, he made such a decision due to lack of motivation.
Nepomniachtchi won the Candidates Tournament and was scheduled to face Carlsen in the chess crown match.
The Scandinavian grandmaster defended the title four times, the last time he beat Nepomniachtchi in 2021.
Earlier, Nepomniachtchi said that he would not want the match for the world chess crown to be turned into a show.
