The chess world has been looking forward to seeing a meeting between Magnus Carlsen, 32, and Hans Niemann, 19. The two are in an infected conflict where Niemann is suing Carlsen for one billion kroner after the Norwegian accused him of cheating.

But Magnus Carlsen has done so well in the tournament that it is now considered less likely that the two will be pitted against each other.

Niemann has avoided all media, and after the meeting with Maghsoodloo, he refused to answer NRK's ​​questions.

Carlsen has also not wanted to talk about a possible match against Niemann.

- I focus on my tournament, says Carlsen to NRK.
