An American grandmaster who was part of a row which rattled the world of chess has denied using a vibrating sex toy to cheat.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

In September 2022 Hans Niemann sat down to play Norwegian grandmaster Magnus Carlsen in chess’s Sinquefield Cup St Louis, Missouri.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Niemann won, but was accused by Carlsen of cheating – a claim which sparked a huge legal row between the pair.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The pair settled a $100m (\u00a379m) lawsuit last month.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

On Monday evening, Niemann spoke to\u00a0Piers Morgan Uncensored<\/a>\u00a0about the scrutiny he has faced since being accused of cheating.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“It is very disheartening to be accused of cheating after that victory,” he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“These things happen and I managed to learn a lot during that time and it really has taught me a lot of very important lessons about life and chess.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
