In his group he will face Fabiano Caruana, Arjun Erigaisi and see Gujrathi.“I honestly think there is more pressure on them because they have much more to lose than I do,” said Niemann Chessbase India.“I am 22 years old for me. I have 10 chances against them, isn’t it? If I lose them, it’s not something embarrassed, is it?”“They are great players, but for them, if they lost – they are considering history – that would be quite devastating, you know? So I think they feel more pressure.”“Even recently my results against Hikar and Magnus Online were very good.”“I think I am 5½-1½-1½ this year and all the victories I had was crucial to win in the tournament. So I overcame Hikaru. I beat Magnus and Hikar back together.

Who do you think will face more pressure in the upcoming match: Hans Niemann or Magnus Carlsen?
“Even against Alirez I recently 3-0. So I don’t feel the same nerves I felt against the best boys. I think I have opportunities to play in an online blitz that will help you to acclimatize their level and potential stress that can occur throughout the game.“They have much more to lose. So I would say they are stressed (faced me). If you saw my fast game against hikar – he won completely but then a mistake. I cheated on him. So it’s a sign of stress.”If these two stand up, it will be the third time when Carlsen and Niemann played because Norwegian accused Niemann of cheating after he lost him in the Sinquefield Cup in 2022.
