Magnus Carlsen blasts GMHikaru for \u201clame\u201d clickbaiting amid chess cheating drama Chess.comMagnus Carlsen accused GMHikaru for \u201clame\u201d clickbaiting after Hikaru posted a video titled \u201cMagnus LOSES and Then Accuses!?!?!?\u201d Hikaru Nakamura, also known by fans as \u201cGMHikaru,\u201d is a Grandmaster-level chess player who has grown in the chess community as an ultra-popular streamer and content creator. GMHikaru\u2019s content, which he now mostly streams on Kick, covers many aspects of Chess, with fans enjoying watching him either play or break down big upcoming matches. One event GMHikaru covered was the Qatar Masters, where the player who some see as the best of all time, Magnus Carlsen, complained about the lack of anti-cheating efforts after losing in the second round to Kazakh Grandmaster Alisher Suleymenov. GMHikaru described the events of the Qatar Masters in a now-updated YouTube title as \u201cMagnus LOSES and Then Accuses!?!?!?,\u201d which Magnus Carlsen wasn\u2019t thrilled about. Magnus Carlsen Adressed GMHikaru\u2019s Youtube Video Magnus posted a screenshot of GMHikaru\u2019s video, stating: \u201cJust to be clear, I am not accusing my opponent today of cheating. Constantly using my name for clicks is fine, but this is just lame. Do better.\u201d However, not all Chess fans sympathized with Magnus\u2019s response, with the top-voted comment replying to the Norweigan\u2019s post: \u201cIf you did not accuse Suleymenov of cheating, why did you heavily insinuate it? You could have expressed your problems with the anti-cheating measures after Round 1. You waited until you were defeated in brilliant fashion by a young player who in theory could have cheated.\u201d While GMHikaru has now changed the title to \u201cDay 2 Masters Drama,\u201d he did not respond to Magnus Carlsens tweet directly.
