Carlsen complains to referees about his opponent after selfie
Before the game, 18-year-old Alua Nurman asked Carlsen to take a selfie, and he agreed. However, after that, Carlsen turned to the referees and told them that his opponent had a phone.
According to the tournament rules, the use of phones during the game is prohibited. Therefore, the referees took away Nurman's phone. The game continued and Carlsen won.
Later, Nurman posted the selfie on Instagram, writing that it was a dream come true and that the game was fun, and thanked the supporters.
