@mothershipsg: During the Grenke Chess Festival Freestyle Open, the world chess rapid champion Magnus Carlsen agreed to a selfie request from 18‑year‑old Kazakh Woman Grandmaster Alua Nurman. He soon informed a tournament arbiter, who then took away Nurman's phone. Some netizens defended Carlsen's actions, noting that regulations prohibit players from bringing phones into the venue unless approved by the arbiter, and that the presence of a phone could potentially cast doubt on the result of their game. #mothershipnews #mothershipabroad
