Niemann: "After the game against Magnus...I get an email from chess.com saying that they have privately removed access to my account and that they have uninvited me to the Global Chess Championship."

(5/10)
Niemann: "I decided to myself that the only way to make up for my mistake was to prove to myself and to prove to others that I could win myself."

(6/10)
Niemann: "I'm not going to let chess.com, I'm not going to let Magnus Carlsen, I'm not going to let Hikaru Nakamura, the three arguably biggest entities in chess, simply slander my reputation."

(7/10)
Niemann: "They think that they can scare me. They think that I'm not going to talk about it because I'm afraid to admit this."

(8/10)
Niemann: "To see my hero, to see my absolute hero try to ruin my reputation, ruin my chess career, and to do it in such a frivolous way is really disappointing."

(9/10)
Niemann: "Chess is my entire life. I've sacrificed everything for this game and I'm willing to do anything to improve myself and improve my game."
