Dutch Grandmaster Anish Giri backed American Grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura after the latter threw world chess champion Gukesh D's king into the crowd after defeating him in an exhibition match. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), the 31-year-old said, "I'm team Hikaru here." Giri added, "Hikaru was just playing along and did something funky for the memes. Don't see the big deal."
