During the major tournament in Germany, a number of pictures appeared of Carlsen with a woman.
They walked in and out of the playroom hand in hand, and from the outside they looked like they were behaving like doves.
This is causing a stir in the chess world.
– There is love in the air, writes Chessbase India X. They also captured video of Carlsen and the woman inside the venue:
A credible El Pais journalist, Leontexo García, who has followed chess closely for several years, wrote the following in an article:
“If you didn’t know he was on his way to a difficult mission, you would never have guessed it,” Garcia writes, justifying this by how relaxed Carlsen was around the woman.
Dagbladet asked Henrik, Carlsen's manager father, for comment about the identity of the woman.
– My comment is that Dagbladet as an institution is an immoral enemy of society, as Carlsen wrote in a letter to Dagbladet.
Dagbladet newspaper requested a comment from the woman in the photo, but has not yet received a response.
No matter what happened off the field, Carlsen fought his way to the tournament final. There he meets Fabiano Caruana.
The first match ended in a goalless draw, and the two teams will meet again in the second match on Friday.
