Did Chess Champ Pull a Victory Out of His Butt?

The game of kings is free to play, but one player seems to be in arrears.

American teenage phenom Hans Niemann is having to sit tight after his most recent opponent resigned rather than risk making an ass of himself.

Magnus Carlsen, #1 in the world, backed out of a rematch against Niemann after just one move. Rumors spread on the internet and even Elon Musk made Niemann the butt of jokes.

Imagine this being used to send electric shock signals. We haven’t seen anything like this since Searching for Bobby Fischer.

Or maybe the Eddie Murphy song from back in the day, remember?

This story is the chess game’s answer to Watergate and OutKick is determined to get to the bottom of it.

How would the chess world solve this problem, by insisting everyone plays nude?
