Hans Niemann sues Magnus Carlsen for $100 million, accusing him of defamation

Hans Niemann has filed a lawsuit accusing chess world champion Magnus Carlsen and others of defamation, in the latest twist to a cheating scandal that has roiled the world of elite chess.

The 19-year-old chess grandmaster says the world champion has mounted a libelous campaign against him since Niemann defeated Carlsen in September.
