You can have an alt account, and Sinister Magnus is still around, you just can't be on the leaderboard more then once. So SM is presumably the alt of someone who is already on the leaderboard. Similar to StarCraft a GM might want to pr

There was recently a player who shot up the Chess.com blitz leaderboard under the name Sinister Magnus. They were eventually removed from the leaderboard, presumably for being an alt of an existing GM, but I don't think anyone has figu
