@nuledgermedia: During the Checkmate India vs. USA chess exhibition on Oct. 5, 2025, Hikaru Nakamura delivered a lightning-fast checkmate against reigning world champion D. Gukesh in a bullet match, sealing Team USA’s 5–0 sweep. The viral 20-second clip shows Nakamura theatrically tossing Gukesh’s black king into the audience — a bold gesture sparking both cheers and criticism. Fans say it adds showmanship to modern chess, while purists call it unsportsmanlike. Analysts note gestures like this can boost viewer engagement by up to 40%, reflecting chess’s evolution into a true spectator sport. #HikaruNakamura #gukesh #Chess #teamusa #checkmate

Hikaru lost all my respect with this shameful act. Doesn't matter if it was planned, in fact even worse in that case, that he agreed to it and actually did it, without shaking hands with Gukesh.
