 Just last week there was a thread about how Hikaru took over some 1700's account (at the guy's request) and delivered some serious beatings.null

Getting recognized randomly on the train into NYC and then helping the guy smash poor souls at blitz on is

So I guess Chess.com should ban (or punish) both of them for violating TOS?

In the spirit of the thread, I don't think one needs to make a federal case out of it.

/ Everyone here must now fear that the other guy might have Hikaru take over.

No big deal, just pointing out the obvious double standard. :)

punish the 1700 player but not the titled player, you can always rebuild and get new players at the bottom of the ladder

If staff said anything to Naka at all, it was probably along the lines of "Hikaru, please don't do that any more, but if you do, please don't tweet about it." lol

Ignoring the false outrage herein, I think this is cool!  Nice to see a couple people having such fun with chess!  On a train!

I played Hikaru once in a 30 move "Nakamura's Knockouts" game. Yeah. He knocked me out.
