Controversy
GM Hikaru Nakamura chastised Alexandra Boitez and her sister Andrea in July 2020 for not properly classifying their broadcast.
Instead of chess or sports, the sisters put their chess match webcast under the "Just Chatting" category.
This resulted in nearly 10,000 spectators watching the show in the Just Chatting category, reducing the popularity of Chess on Twitch.
The sisters retaliated by blasting Hikaru for unfollowing them on Twitter. They accused Hikaru of stealing their thunder by publicizing programs months ahead of time.
The two chess masters continue to have a tense relationship. They will, however, appear on the show together in 2021.
We wish them well in resolving their issues and reuniting.
