== Lawsuit by Niemann ==
 +
On Oct. 20, 2022, Niemann and a top [[New York City]] law firm sued the following entities and individuals for an absurd figure of $100 million, in federal court in the Eastern District of Missouri:
 +
*[[Magnus Carlsen]]
 +
*Play Magnus dba Play Magnus Group
 +
*Chess.com
 +
*Danny Rensch
 +
*[[Hikaru Nakamura]]
 +
The lawsuit claims four times that Plaintiff Niemann is a "prodigy" at [[chess]], and asserts five frivolous -- but intimidating -- causes of action:
 +
*slander
 +
*libel
 +
*violation of the Section One [[Sherman Act]] ([[antitrust]] law)
 +
*tortious interference
 +
*civil conspiracy
 +
The lawsuit alleges that "Notorious for his inability to cope with defeat, Carlsen snapped" when Niemann ostensibly defeated Carlsen by playing near-perfect chess with the black pieces and merely a harmless error near the end of the match.
