Chess prodigy Hans Niemann settles legal fight over claims he used anal beads to cheat

He wiggled his way out of this one.
A US teenage chess prodigy dogged by claims he used vibrating “anal beads” to cheat during a high-stakes match has been partially vindicated after he and his opponent agreed to resolve a bombshell legal battle.
Hans Niemann, 19, rocked the chess world after his rival, Norwegian grandmaster Magnus Carlsen, 31, alleged the American used a sex toy to cheat during a tournament in St. Louis, Missouri last September.
An investigation into Niemann’s play conducted by Chess.com stated that Niemann likely “received illegal assistance” in more than 100 online games, as recently as 2020, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Niemann, who fiercely denied the allegations, swiftly slapped Carlsen and online platform Chess.com with a $100 million lawsuit accusing them of defamation for the bead-cheating allegations.
Now, months after the so-called cheating saga penetrated the chess world, all parties have agreed to drop the legal fight, Chess.com revealed in a statement Monday.
Chess.com added that Niemann is now welcome to play at future events and his account has been reinstated.
“I look forward to competing against Magnus in chess rather than in court,” Niemann said in a joint statement.
The legal battle erupted after Niemann’s upset victory over Carlsen — who has been the world’s top-ranked player for more than a decade — at last year’s Sinquefield Cup tournament in St. Louis.
Carlsen quickly withdrew from the tournament and later took to Twitter to accuse Niemann of cheating.
The allegations sparked such uproar that Niemann started facing wild rumors that he’d used a rectally inserted sex toy to receive wireless signals from his coach about his winning moves.
During the US Chess Championships in St. Louis in October, an official even used a metal detector to inspect Niemann’s rear before he could play in the tournament.

So he denies using anal beads to cheat, but doesn’t deny using anal beads…

I really don't understand the mechanics of this.
Why anal beads? If he wanted covert signals, there is technology that would be placed in a tiny skin colored patch that could be placed on your leg, or elsewhere.
And how did they first suspect this?
Also, kudos to the writer for all of the double entendres.

This is why handshakes are obsolete. Fist bumps every time from me.

Magnus and Hans are not "rivals" and Magnus didn't say he used anal beads, that was a joke on reddit that turned into a meme that everyone ran with. Magnus just said his moves were weird and suspect, and Hans was not able to explain them after their game which drew further suspicion on top of him already admitting that he had cheated in the past. So yes Magnus did claim that he thought Hans cheated but he never specifically said anything about the beads.

The suit caused quite a buzz in chess circles.

Because Gen Z loves anal beads.

Guess I think differently I would have never considered beads a thought or option and sure as hell would never use them no matter what was on the line.

Theoretically, it could have vibrated if there was a winning move on the board.
At their level, knowing there is a winning move is a huge advantage because they are able to find it looking into the position.

I was wondering why Hans was catching the frissons all match in that coat.

I get that, but why anal beads?
There are dozens of other options.

The Astros about to give new meaning to the term "going deep".

Dozens of other options that don’t include anal beads.

Vibrating anal beads that help you win at chess?
Sounds like a win-win.

Because a GM chess streamer made an offhand joke about them at the time of the Carlson-Neimann match, and the media took it and ran with it because they’re incapable of interpreting humor.

Win a game of chess and get the prostate pulsed. I’m hip.
