Teen chess star accused of cheating after taking selfie with Magnus Carlsen

A teenage chess star posed for a smiling selfie with Magnus Carlsen - only to be reported by him moments later for breaking the rules. Kazakh grandmaster Alua Nurman, 18, could not resist asking the world No1 for a picture as they sat down to face each other at a major tournament in Germany . Carlsen, 35, obliged, leaning across the board with a grin as she snapped the photo. But the light-hearted moment quickly turned awkward. The Norwegian got up, found a judge and reported his opponent for having a mobile phone at the table. The incident unfolded at the Grenke Chess Festival, where strict rules ban electronic devices to prevent cheating.
