Carlsen V FIDE Turns Ugly, Chess Controlled By Russia? | First Sports With Rupha Ramani

The FIDE V Carlsen battle has taken an ugly route. Carlsen's trainer and Viswanathan Anand's former coach Peter Heine Nielsen, has attacked FIDE and Russia. The Danish grandmaster accused FIDE of being controlled by the Kremlin and Vladimir Putin. Neilsen's comments come when Carlsen is in the middle of match-fixing allegations. While Neilsen has come up with severe allegations, is it even justified? Rupha Ramani looks at the controversy surrounding FIDE and Carlsen and explores if Neilsen's comments are to shift focus away from match-fixing chaos.
