That's why the age of brung up
Do you know like in football statistics are what offenses are for defenders chess has logistics meaning stationary value
Give the guy the benefit of the doubt. if he's able to maintain his meteoric rise while under close watch and scrutiny then he's legit. If he's not able to duplicate previous performances then he's a lying sack of crap and should be suspended indefinitely.
I think cheating online and cheating face to face are no different
Worse than that, I've heard he's been accused of kibitzing!
the chess speaks for itself
Sad 15 minutes of fame.
There is this one game where Niemann's play would be equivalent of someone with a 3800 rating. So either he is the first 3000+ player in the world, and immediately 3800, or he is cheating,
My guess is he's cheating.
I'm sure he's honest – he only lied recently about how much he cheated in the past. But I'm sure he is clean now.
Wait, you can cheat in Chess?
Ummm , I can safely bet the farm , that if their are online games for money, someone is cheating
"You really think someone would do that? Just go on the Internet and tell lies?"
Chess people are nuts. Look at Bobby Fischer
Carlson losing with white chess pieces is a huge red flag. Lol
THE TURNAMENT SHOULD BE FACE TO FACE AND WITH JUDGES ON EVERY BOARD TO MAKE SURE NO CHEATING CAN HAPPEN!!!
How tf can you cheat at chess in person? It's literally played on the board right there…….online yea,probably…..but in person? How was it done? Or ya'll just speculating.
Seems like the Norwegian is a sore loser and felt accusing his opponent of cheating was more appropriate than gracefully accepting defeat.
Buried the lede deeper than Hans buried his cheating device….
It’s truly the end of times.
Then he is antagonist as cheater.
oh my god..a month or so later
TSA needs to lend a body scanner to the chess world
How Is he cheating 🤔
All because Magnus Played a Poor
Game and Lost to him.
What a Whiny Little Baby 😂
Chess speaks for itself.
I just Hope that from Now on they Keep Him in 'Check'!
