Nouki

What happend to GM Nouki? I have seen that his account closed. Did he close it or did he cheat?

thats what I thought

GMs never cheat. Unless they don't know how to win. :-/

yeah.... but it has happened before.

Nouki closed his account and reopened it under the name SIANA which is the name of his daughter spelled backwards. He's a very nice guy from Marseille, France.Yannick Gozzoli.

Really? I Don't really believe that.

Here is a brief exchange between Hikaru Nakamur and Siana from 11 February 2016. Hikaru Nakamura, number 6 in the world, knows that Nouki is now called Siana. Check out the exchange below, just after they had played several games togheter:
