So much for that.

A court in the US state of Missouri has dismissed a $100m (£78m) lawsuit filed by top chess player Hans Niemann over cheating allegations.

The antitrust claims were dismissed with prejudice, meaning they cannot be brought again.

Carlsen's lawyer, Craig Reiser, said "we are pleased the Court has rejected Hans Niemann's attempt to recover an undeserved windfall in Missouri federal court". Lawyers for Chess.com have also said they are pleased with Tuesday's outcome.
