The tweets pushing this rumor also made several other outlandish claims: Some held that Barron Trump had an IQ of 146; others maintained that Barron’s father Donald Trump studied under chess legend Bobby Fischer and was himself one of the most celebrated chess players of all time. Many of these tweets were also accompanied by the accusation that the mainstream news media was ignoring the many chess-related accomplishments of the Trump family.

This claim stemmed from this article👇

If Barron Trump were truly awarded such a title at the age of 11, it would have been newsworthy not only because he is the son of a president, but also because he would have been the youngest person to ever achieve that honor. As of this writing, Sergey Karjakin holds the record for youngest Chess Grandmaster, having been awarded the title in 2003 at the age of 12 years and 7 months.

Norwegian TV called Peter Svidler "Peter Swindler"

Peter Svidler said about that: ''First time that happened was Tilburg '94, then there was a long pause - but it appears the trend is back on''.
