SCANDAL broke into the World Federation of Chess Championship with a secret preparation of a great master disclosed dramatically.
The 2018 World Championship between American Fabiano Caruana and Norway's Magnus Carlsen has been plunged into controversy after a video that has since been removed seems to have revealed some very secretive secrets of the American challenger's preparations.
The chess languages are changing since a video of Caruana's pre-series training strategies was broadcast on YouTube on Tuesday night, in anticipation of the fourth finalist clash in London.
The world championship series being stuck in a stalemate of three draws in the first three games, the series was ejected from the slopes for its fourth meeting at the College of Holborn.
Players preparing for a series of championships are traditionally locked in secret training camps where they are surrounded by great masters of confidence.
The circumstances of the training camps are well-protected secrets, even the details of the training partners involved being kept secret, lest information reaches a rival of the championship.
Even the identity of the training partners can provide insight into the strategies and state of mind of competitors preparing for Federation games.
That's why the event was shaken when a three-minute video titled "Today's Chess: Fabiano's World Chess Championship in Training" was released by the St Louis Chess Club – where according to rumor, Caruana had trained before the event.
The video reveals the identity of Caruana's training partners and shows him reading strategies, as well as tactical data displayed on a laptop screen.
The video was removed, but chess reporters got a small part of the recording released.
According to reports, Carlsen's camp rejected suggestions that the broadcast of the video could have been clever espionage or risky double bluffing.
Carlsen's director, Espen Agdestein, was quoted as saying the leak would make the situation very uncomfortable for the Cuaruana camp.
"I think that's true," said Agdestein, according to Norwegian journalist Tarjei Svensen.
"It can happen by mistake, and we almost made the same mistake. It is more likely that it is a mistake that his staging. "
The veteran Norwegian champion himself laughed at the information leak of his opponent.
"Well, I'm going to watch the video and get an idea," Carlsen said with a dry smile after the draw.
"We will see then."
Meanwhile, Grandmaster Jon Ludvig Hammer told the Norwegian media that Caruana must be concerned about the flight.
"This is Caruana's opening library," said Hammer.
"It was so much detail and detailed information about an opening he had used in the world championship game.
"It is obvious that this is relevant."
The fourth game of the series was also drawn, leaving the battle for the title of world champion at 4-4 of four games with players having to reach a score of 6.5 to obtain the world title.
