chazwhiz@lemmy.world 1 day agoWas this the story that he was using some sort of inserted sex toy to get info? I don’t follow chess but that’s obviously a very memorable headline. What was the follow up story, that it was just blatantly untrue?

Hikaru as a joke said he may have a vibrating buttplug to get info. People ran with it.
It was never meant seriously.
Hikaru is the chess personality I hate most.

Well deserved. Hikaru is the biggest drama frog in the chess community, and never misses a chance to fan the flames for entertainment’s sake. He’s a bully.
I’d be lying if I said I never guilty enjoyed watching any of it, though.

I just started feeling bad for Hans eventually 😭
Getting tournament invites cancelled etc

Yeah, same. I’m glad they finally got everything more or less resolved. Incidentally, I lost a lot of respect for Danny Rensch and chess com for how they handled everything.
Hans definitely plays into being the Heel, so I get why some people don’t like him, but he’s also a genuinely very talented player. I look forward to seeing him succeed in the future.

Pretty sure it was the chat of Eric Hansen who insinuated it first.
