CNN —A US judge on Tuesday dismissed the $100 million defamation lawsuit filed by American chess grandmaster Hans Niemann against Magnus Carlsen, among others, in an alleged cheating scandal which has rocked the sport, according to court documents. Niemann’s lawsuit, which was filed in October last year, came after an alleged cheating scandal which sent shockwaves through the sport. 1 Carlsen accused Niemann of cheating at the $350,000 Sinquefield Cup in St. Louis, Missouri. In his second amendment, Niemann alleged that Carlsen paid a friend $328 (€300) to shout “Cheater Hans” from the stands at the closing ceremony of a tournament. Fewer than 0.14% of players ever cheat on the site, according to the company’s report on Niemann’s alleged behavior.

Lawyers for world champion Magnus Carlsen and Chess.com moved to dismiss a lawsuit filed by Hans Moke Niemann, the teenage American grandmaster who is facing bombshell cheating allegations, writing in court filings Friday that Niemann’s claims are a public relations ploy with no factual or legal basis. Chess.com’s filings say that Niemann’s complaint presents no evidence for any sort of conspiracy to damage his career, and that Niemann has failed to plausibly show how anything Chess.com has said about him is false.
