Checkmate Organisers Troll FIDE CEO For Criticising Nakamura's 'childish Act' Against Gukesh; American GM Reacts With A Laugh
American GM Hikaru Nakamura: The chess world was marred by controversy when Japan-born American GM Hikaru Nakamura defeated the world champion Gukesh Dommaraju to secure a 5-0 victory for Team USA over Team India at the Checkmate: USA vs India and grabbed the Indian GM's king, tossing it into a cheering crowd and waved his arms in celebration.
The act sparked mixed reactions on social media, with many calling his celebration disrespectful. A video of Nakamura's act rapidly went viral on social media.
FIDE CEO Emil Sutovsky also criticised Nakamura for his behaviour by posting on X, "The event was a show. Fans were ecstatic. Players were encouraged to behave accordingly. All true. Now, for better or worse, name me one top player who would do what Hikaru did."
