In the lawsuit, Neiman alleges that the online chess site Chess.com and Carlsen, among others, have suffered devastating damages after he was banned from the professional chess world through 'defamation' and 'illegal collusion.' increase.
Chess.com has acquired the chess app `` Play Magnus '' that Mr. Carlsen was involved in for about $ 83 million (about 1.2 billion yen), and Mr. Niemann claims that this interest created a collusion between the two . Mr. Neiman sued Grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura, who has made allegations against him, including the two, for defamation and defamation, unfair boycott, and unlawful interference in Mr. Neiman's business. rice field.
Mr. Niemann's suspicion of fraud stems from the face-to-face game `` Sinkfield Cup '' held on September 4, 2022. Carlsen, who is on a 53-game winning streak, missed the next six games in the tournament in St. Louis, USA after losing to his opponent Niemann.
At the time, Mr. Carlsen did not disclose the reason for his absence, but because he posted a tweet that hinted at suspecting fraud, there were whispers of speculation about Mr. Carlsen's true intentions. In response to this voice, 19-year-old Mr. Niemann admitted that he cheated in online matches when he was 12 and 16, but now regrets that it was the biggest mistake of his life. I argued that I had never cheated during the face-to-face game. In addition, the administration of the Sinkfield Cup has issued an official statement that 'there was no fraudulent activity'.

However, the suspicion was not cleared, and Chess.com, led by Grandmaster Daniel Rensch, revealed that Mr. Niemann was exiled on September 9, 2022. Chess.com said, 'We have reached out to Mr. Niemann to explain the decision and share information that contradicts his claims. We have reached out to Mr. Niemann in hopes of finding a solution that will allow him to join Chess.com again. ', but the chess community was controversial because no hard evidence was shown to support the fraud. Garry Kasparov, a former professional player who has been the champion for 15 years, warned that ``creating factions with rumors and humility will damage the chess world,'' and expelled the player without showing any evidence. I questioned Chess.com.
In addition, Mr. Carlsen, who played with Mr. Niemann again in the online game `` Julius Baer Generation Cup '' held on September 19, 2022, resigned without pointing to his second move. The following week, Mr. Carlsen officially issued a statement that ``I thought Mr. Niemann was cheating,'' pointing out that Mr. Niemann, who claims to have cheated only twice, ``does more fraud.'' Did. However, details such as in which game the fraud was specifically committed and whether Mr. Carlsen had any evidence were not disclosed.
After that, on October 5, 2022, Chess.com analyzed the results of Mr. Niemann's match on the platform and pointed out that ``he may have cheated more than 100 times.'' Chess.com explains that this result was the result of analyzing player performance and using tools that detect actions such as players opening another tab.
With such circumstances, Mr. Niemann finally hit a counterattack. Mr. Hikaru Nakamura is one of the defendants, but Mr. Nakamura is an influential person who actively performs streaming activities. The reason is that I was analyzing the situation with my shoulders. Mr. Niemann asked Mr. Nakamura to watch the about 30-minute video explaining his suspicion and analyze the situation correctly , but Mr. Nakamura did not respond. For these reasons, Mr. Niemann said in the complaint, 'Mr. Nakamura conspired with Mr. Carlsen and Chess.com to release hours of video content that seeks to further the fraud allegations, as well as numerous defamatory remarks. I tried to reinforce it,' he said.
