Missouri federal court on Tuesday dismissed U.S. chess prodigy Hans Niemann's $100 million Lawyers for Chess.com said in a statement that the company is "happy to see an end to this saga" and "grateful that all parties can now focus on growing the game of chess."
The legal battle stems from Niemann's upset victory over Carlsen at a tournament in St. Louis, Missouri, in September 2019 and Carlsen's subsequent claims that Niemann had cheated, allegations Niemann denies.
