Watch: Magnus Carlsen poses for selfie, then gets her phone seized
At the Grenke Chess Festival, Alua Nurman took a selfie with Magnus Carlsen before their match. Though he agreed, Carlsen reported it, leading officials to confiscate her phone under strict anti-cheating rules. The game continued normally, with Carlsen winning. A similar incident happened last year, highlighting how strictly chess authorities enforce rules, even in harmless situations like selfies.
