Sinquefield Cup

In a civil lawsuit filed in a federal court in St. Louis, chess grandmaster Hans Niemann alleges that world champion Magnus Carlsen, chess.com, chess video streamer Hikaru Nakumura and others committed slander, libel and unlawful group boycott, among other accusations.

The scandal has been the talk of the chess world this month. Interest exploded last week after Carlsen resigned from a match against Niemann after making only one move.
