American teenage chess prodigy Hans Niemann has sued the Norwegian grandmaster who accused him of using anal beats to cheat - as well as online platform Chess.com, claiming they defamed him and sought to blacklist him from the game.
In court papers, filed in on Thursday, he claims that 31-year-old Magnus Carlsen, who he describes as the self-styled 'King of Chess', was fearful that the teenager would blemish his multi-billion dollar brand after beating him in September.
Weeks after the incident, Chess.com released a report claiming Niemann had 'likely cheated' in hundreds of games.
