Chess Grandmaster claims Hikaru accused a young prodigy of cheating amid allegations Chess.comChess Grandmaster Srinath Narayanan claims Hikaru accused a young prodigy of cheating amid his own cheating allegations. Chess Grandmaster and Kick streamer Hikaru Nakamura has been embroiled in cheating allegations over the past weeks as a fellow GM, Vladimir Kramnik, claimed his Chess.com blitz rating records were suspicious. As the allegations between Nakamura and Kramnik go back and forth, other questionable acts from Nakamura have come to light as Nakamura has a history of also claiming other players were cheating. In a tweet by Chess Rumors, an anonymous player claimed Nakamura had once threatened to track down a young 14-year-old Andrew Tang \u2013 who would go on to become a Grandmaster \u2013 after he had scored 20% against him in a match. When a commenter pointed out Hikaru had also done this to GM Arjun Erigaisi and other Indian players after losing to an opponent, GM Srinath Narayanan corroborated the claim. \u201cCan confirm that \u2013 true story about Arjun,\u201d he said in his tweet. \u201cYoung Arjun was obviously rattled by the baseless accusation and felt bad about it, but thankfully it did not break his confidence or deter his progress.\u201d Narayanan did not confirm if there were other Indian players who had been privately accused by Nakamura of cheating, and neither has Nakamura addressed the claims. This comes as Nakamura criticized Kramnik for deleting comments defending him in Karmnik\u2019s Chess.com posts accusing Nakamura\u2019s win streak. Nakamura said in a recent video discussing the allegations, \u201cSomeone doesn\u2019t get to say these things without actual proof. They don\u2019t get to falsely accuse people over and over again without having to pay a price.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
