Former world champion Vladimir Kramnik has accused Hikaru Nakamura of bribes in online games, bringing a sequel to the Hans Niemann anal beads saga. On gaming website Chess.com, Russia's Kramnik, 48, caused the confrontation by cast doubt on Nakamura's astonishing 46-game no-loss streak, which was statistically enhanced. In a string of fiery YouTube videos accusing Kramnik of 'cherry-picking' figures, Nakamura, 35, struck back. Their ferocious feud erupted to the point where Chess.com interfered, bringing in an ivy league math professor to have the final say.
