US chess grandmaster Hans Niemann has filed a $100 million lawsuit against world champion Magnus Carlsen after accusing him of cheating. Niemann has also sued the website Chess.com for publishing a report which said he had probably cheated in over 100 online games. Last month, Carlsen resigned from a Julius Baer Generation Cup match against Niemann in the wake of the cheating controversy.
