One of the biggest scandals the chess world faced involved Magnus Carlsen and Ian Nepomniachtchi, aka Nepo. The scandal referred to allegations involving pre-arranged draws, and even alleged match-fixing at a high-stakes final blitz match. There is criticism to the fact that FIDE doesn’t punish on the same footing as it was done before; people are demanding much more consistent rule enforcement. The scandal ignited debate over the archaic FIDE regulation and reforms, with particular regard to player conduct and disciplinary action. Indeed, the spotlight focusing on Carlsen’s reputation made it more glaring that keeping chess intact is what’s really important.
