Nikolay Averin is a Russian chess player.
Chess career
In December 2022 at the World Blitz Championship, he was involved in an incident with Ahmed Adly, where Adly complained to arbiters that Averin's friends (Artem Uskov and Savva Vetokhin) shouted and distracted him just as his clock reached its final seconds, which lead to him losing on time.[2] The arbiters allowed them to replay the game after much deliberation, with the game ending in a draw, much to the frustration of both players.[3]
In another incident at the same event, Ehsan Ghaem Maghami complained about Averin adjusting his pieces during Maghami's turn, and wanted the arbiters to penalize Averin. The game was later agreed to a draw.[4]
