Explained: The Biggest Cheating Scandal in Chess History

Hans' eyes are the evidence.

Hans probably cheated

Being Carlsen doesnt mean you cannot be beaten.... Dont treat Carlsen as Chess god.... Niemann is good, it is just that time Magnus doesnt play good as he is...

I called that this is exactly what would happen and that hikaru , aka magnus lapdog, would be at more liability by trying to blend in with the cool kids, but going too far in his accusations which were all totally unfounded.

cheeter......

Seems like he was such a sore loser that when he remembered that he had been caught cheating before he figured he did it again. GIVE HIM HIS FLOWERS HANS WON FAIR AND SQUARE AND IS NO LONGER THE CHAMPION PERIOD

Magnus is a little punk. What a douche bag.

magnus carlsen is the problem. hes a bitch. I know im a norwegian and thats the norwegian thing to do. i did it myself once, just withdrew like a bitch because i was angry i didnt win a tournament. it moves the attention to the others, in a cruel way.

You should have a look at yosha on u tube she has made a very serious report on the level of play by Hans in some tournament it is a very dry and complex analysis it explains how that level of accuracy and complexity of play has been achieved only by the best like Fisher or kasparov and other world champions
in a few games at their peak not over long periods or entire tournament.
It is not has entertaining as the beads theory.
Who has now lost over 100 ELO & who has won practically all valuable title

Magnus got that gojo treatment

In conclusion: "did he cheat?...i guess we will never know" 😅😂

Great claims require great proof, we all know about the greatness of Magnus, but such an acussation should be backed up with more than a tweet.

Wtf has this World come to? I can't even watch this video. How does anyone know what dude has up his butt? How sick? Whether true or not! And nothing surprises me! Get ur shlt together people!

That Hans is a cheating weasel Danny McBride look alike

Perhaps he is using a smart contact lens and deployed it for testing for the developmental company. James bond stuff but this tech does exist and the developers would want to test run it under high stress environments with little risk to injury and or life. To me this would be the perfect scenario.

the guy is def cheater. caught cheating before, has too much 90%+ accuracies, in an interview he cant even explain his own moves that he himself did. what a lol. the fact that people try to defend this guy is baffling.

Can someone tell me how could he have cheated?

11 months later and still no proof of cheating... poor guy, they destroyed his name with some stupid allegations. I hope Hans will become world chess champion so he can prove to the world that chess truly speaks for itself

Niemann looks like a Beethoven

19? Motherfucker, he looks 30

King's betrayal ! Throne in jeopardy.

The an*l beads arnt even the g*yest part of this story...

THIS is why you don't agree to play a cheater.

Always sunny in Philadelphia based that off a true story?!?!

My understanding is that analysis of Niemanns past games with AI calculator (including this one) show that very many have had 100% accuracy. This is unheard of and would make Niemann (on his day) a far better Chess player than either Fischer, Carlsen or Kasparov, even when they were at their absolute best.

Hans caught Magnus Hands

If Niemann did cheat where is the proof? How are the moves being communicated to him?
Carlsen said: "He must have cheated because he made such good moves. Better moves than I made."
Why don't they play a match in a shielded room (those are common for testing electronic equipment).
People would be willing to put up prize money for such a match.
In a match featuring Carlsen a few days ago I noticed a man used an electronic device to "sweep" the playing area to check for bugs.

So.. with no proof you can just accuse whomever of cheating ? How Soviet.

As long as a move is legit, there is no cheating.

Αfter a year... Is cheating confirmed?

Just another example of trial by public opinion based on a lack of evidence. The world seems to have plenty of this going on right now.

hi

hi

one vibration ...good move 😜 ....two vibrations ...bad move 😖!
😁!

This is like Sherlock vs Moriarty

bro i was 19 a year ago but wtf this guy looks like 35 and addict ngl

I imagine there are many ways of cheating. A delay in broadcast would be an important deterrent feature, but that wouldn't keep a player from somehow transmitting the move changes. Someone could have a device that allows toe movements to send a signal; there are probably lots of possibilities. I wonder what a show magician would think about this? It makes me think any match now has the possibility of cheating occurring. On a separate matter relating to this instance, can you imagine a legitimate serious player making that facial expression at the GOAT during the game when the probability is that you're going to readily lose. What happens to that facial expression when you lose? It seems like the probability of losing would keep that look off of a persons face. But if they knew there was no chance of loss, then why not?

dude is a weird psycho. "chess speaks for itself," i mean who does that to a friendly interviewr.

What I don't understand is that for some reason the chess would doesn't understand is like we say in boxing or wrestling... styles make fights.. meaning you can be the best but someone out there has just the style or moves to take you out

Great video. How can I use my auto-blow to win at checkers?

He’s not just Norwegian born. He IS Norwegian.

This will go down in the Anal....... Annals of history.

Who's all here from Doug dougs ai chess video

Yeah sitting at the same table and somehow able to cheat in chess? GTFO. Anal beads? How can that be possible? How can that even tell you how to win? I can see the trolling. But come on he did not cheat.

The only thing left is for someone to figure out how he cheated. I believe he found a way, I do believe that he did cheat somehow, time will tell, someone will uncover it.

Yo this is so good this guy deserves a lot of respect

GM's say while Hann's played good moves, there were no incredibly brilliant moves that only a computer could find. Magnus just played poorly in that game - it happens. Hanns comes off as a scumbag, but I doubt he cheated that particular game.

I never learned how to play chess but I am am a bit of a pro in checkers. When ever people are cheating in checkers it is a bit obvious. Their rankings will not simply jump high randomly as it would take time to gradually notice a person's skill level improving. They will need to learn patterns and strategies and they usually have a small time delay when they are making new moves because they need to know what move to make next. Also it would be very suspicious if a player's ranking dramatically increased in a short amount of time. If he was cheating then this is how he would have done it. He would have had an outside man who was watching the match and was inputting the moves into a program so that he would be able to find the best available move. He then would have signalled his guy about what move to make where. This would work by him memorising the board with each different signal he receives representing a different area of the board. He must have been feeling some sort of vibration system around different parts of his body to feel out the best move. This is how people used to cheat at checkers back before it was solved and was still being played competetively. Im sure they will one day solve Chess as well so that you can never lose. When that happens Im pretty certain chess will lose much of its interest as well.
