Magnus is not avoiding Niemann - he despises Niemann. When You play against anybody there is a handshake before the game and another handshake after the game.

Do you trust Hans or the Chesscom Fairplay Team? Because Danny said during the state of chess that the Fairplay team 100% stands behind the "Hans Report." If that report is true, then Hans lied to everyone when he claimed he only cheated twice and never in monied games. The report says he statistically likely cheated 100s of times and in monied tournaments. I wouldn't play such a dishonorable person either. It's ridiculous that he's still allowed to play online on Chesscom.

[@morfos95]

Of course they are gonna say their fair play time is perfect and with top of the art methods XD.
