Earlier today, the chess world was rocked to its core upon hearing news that, after facing mounting legal pressure, former World Blitz Champion Hikaru Nakamura was left with no choice but to officially adopt the middle name “Chess.com”, that being the only recourse against the multiple high-profile law firms hired by GM Magnus Carlsen since the beginning of this scandal.

This move by Hikaru “Chess.com” Nakamura leads to many complications, unfortunately — for example, it is not clear if he will now be owed lifelong royalties by Chess.com for the advertising.
