@mayor saidWe'll see.
It's a defamation lawsuit about the accusations Hans cheated over the board. It is not about online play.
I think he has a case. If people can sue for burning themselves while drinking coffew and winning the case then Hans definitely has a chance.
Libel.
Both Magnus and Nakamura were quite careful in choosing their words. Magnus didn't directly accuse Niemann of cheating until about a week or two ago. Even then, there were no character assassinations, just Mag's opinion.
He may have a case against chess dot com though. They banned without any concrete reason to do so. But even then, they can still point to Niemann's two previous bans where he was both caught cheating and admitted to it.

@mayor saidHow the hell is a court case in Missouri going to get at a non-American… for claiming someone is cheating?
The jurisdiction is in question.
Filed in Missouri.
What’s Missouri gonna do? Use extradition? Get the CIA to kidnap the guy? Over a bloody chess claim??
Hahaha
My god. People are stupid.

@mayor saidHe did not accuse him of cheating, just implied it.

He suspects Hans cheated because he cheated before and admitted it. Hans' reputation was already soiled by himself.
Hans does not have a chance. All this suit does is reinforce people's opinion that Hans is a creepy guy without honor.

@averagejoe1 saidLet’s see he’s a liar and a cheat but he’s suing someone for calling him a liar and a cheat, clearly he’s a Trumptard Republican and read the ‘Art of the Deal’.

There ya go son and I didn’t even need a crowbar.

@Metal-Brain - "Hans does not have a chance."

Of course he has a chance, especially against chess.com and Nakamura.
