US chess grandmaster Hans Niemann is suing rival Magnus Carlsen for at least $100m (£89m) after the Norwegian world champion accused him of cheating.
In an ongoing scandal that has rocked the chess world, Niemann is also suing website Chess.com, which published a report saying he had probably cheated in more than 100 online games.
Niemann says the defendants colluded to destroy his reputation and livelihood.
Lawyers for both Magnus Carlsen and Chess.com dismissed the allegations.
