Hikaru Nakamura, the Chess Grandmaster, a five-time champion in the United States and one of the best chess players in the world, has had bad luck. He should receive a ban from Twitch.
"Today I was blocked from Twitch, for showing some of the chess games that Dr Disrespect and Dr Lupo played on Youtube the other day," said Nakamura, quoted by The Gamer, Thursday (24/3/2022).
At first he thought that the problem between Dr. Disrespect and the online streaming service was over. But apparently, Nakamura was wrong because the Youtuber of this shooting game is still banned from Twitch.
Although it is not known exactly why Dr Disrespect was banned, it has an impact on other parties, even if they only show old videos or just give reactions about him. That's what happened to Nakamura, when he gave feedback and assessed Dr Disrespect's chess game.
The result was quite surprising, as it triggered a ban for Nakamura from appearing on Twitch for three days. As is known, Nakamura's own channel received a high rating because of his friendly approach to fans, regarding their motivation to learn to play chess, as well as in providing game criticism.
This problem also triggered responses from other streamers and YouTubers, namely Asmongold. According to him, the ban is unreasonable and looks strange.
"This seems odd considering that dozens of streamers (including myself), watched the video of the NFT Ice Posideon scam controversy and reacted to Doc's studio drama regarding NFT," Asmongold replied to Nakamura's post on Twitter. "The rules are definitely not black and white," he added.
