DUBOV Texts Gustafsson During Broadcast Why He Didn't Show Up for His Game Against Anish Giri Today!

Daniil Dubov vs Anish Giri TATA Steel Chess 2022 The #TataSteelChess organisers confirm that Dubov will forfeit his game after the dispute about mask-wearing for today's game: Daniil Dubov will not be playing the 7th round of the Tata Steel Chess Tournament today. Due to a COVID-19 contamination in his inner circle, the tournament organisation (after consultation with the chief arbiter) has asked Dubov to play wearing a face mask, in order to protect his opponent, Anish Giri. Dubov did not show for his match, which means that he has lost his game by forfeit. Dubov has indicated that he refuses to play wearing a face mask as a matter of principle. Dubov himself tested negative in a quick scan test. He has also undergone a PCR-test, of which the result is likely to come in this evening. ♜ Visit our deals page for our limited time offers!: https://events.chess24.com/deals/?utm... ♜ Become a Premium member to get access to everything chess24 has to offer: https://explore.chess24.com/premium?u... ► Watch live and on-demand shows: https://chess24.com/en/live/video/?ut... ► Follow top tournaments with our state-of-the-art broadcast system: https://chess24.com/en/watch/live-tou... ► Play chess in our playzone: https://chess24.com/en/play/chess?utm... ► Improve your chess by learning from grandmasters in interactive videos: https://chess24.com/en/learn/videoser...
