Ian Nepomniachtchi: “We should thank Dubov!”

Ian Nepomniachtchi has responded to the controversy over Daniil Dubov helping Magnus Carlsen for the World Chess Championship match. The challenger doesn't show the same anger as others have on his behalf, but does state that it would have been "more logical" for Daniil to "remain neutral". On the other hand, he points out that the games where Daniil's influence were clearest were the ones where he had the best chance of picking up a win. Ian also talks in depth about the blunder in Game 8, which all but sealed his match fate.
