A teenage chess prodigy who was accused of cheating using anal beads is suing his accusers for $100 million, according to court papers.
Hans Niemann, 19, claims that Norwegian grandmaster Magnus Carlsen and online platform Chess.com defamed him with claims of cheating. Rumours have swirled accusing Mr Niemann of hiding the sex toy inside his body to communicate with his coach.
Mr Niemann now wants to take Mr Carlsen and the website to court to help "recover from the devastating damages that defendants have inflicted upon his reputation, career and life by egregiously defaming him and unlawfully colluding to blacklist him from the profession to which he has dedicated his life."
