Hans went from “late prodigy” to “cheater” to “chess speaks for itself” and eventually became “a meme about anal beads”

[nateshsudarshan]

Recently in the Baku Open 5/3-5/13 of this year 2023 (classical tournament), Hans was the highest rated player in a field of 122 players at a fide of 2708. He finished in 54th place with a performance rating of 2545.

The results speak for themselves.

The problem with Hans dropping one liners to dip out of evaluation interviews is that when he has done the interview he has shown himself to be quite poor at it. As with the Alireza game. So, when he doesn't do the interview it looks like he's dodging.

Interesting how Hans’ aggressive chess playing style, has translated to an extremely defensive PR style… 😀

[philippecote]

Great game Hans, was anything surprising about the match? "I can't believe it's not butter" *Puts shades on and walks off*.

[josefrees]

Love Hans because he is walking the walk

[sinking]

Hans is box office…whether intentional or not…He’s a massive character and the chess world is all the better for him.

[peterchaloner]

it does not matter if he only cheated online it shows the will to cheat + otb cheating is a different thing way harder to get caught out even impossible sometimes

I feel like a gotta full handle on this Hans thing. My guy is literally creating a legend! Do I think he cheated? YES! But he's been a "Teenage Hustler"trying to get noticed! And now HE IS! If he keeps playing "lights out" in these big tournaments "The Legend Will Grow". I'd really love the book/movie rights!

My reaction to this video will speak for itself

[davidwhite]

“I understand why he did that?”

He usually does that when he’s cheating!

[markritchie]

Hans does very well in tournaments with little/no anti-cheating measures and in online tournaments (like a couple of days ago) where it's much easier to cheat, and plays like an average GM everywhere else (like in recent Tata Steel Masters).

[Nephelangelo]

“The game is so beautiful that I don’t even need to show a single variation.”
Huge red flag. Showing variations doesn’t make chess less beautiful.

i just realised Hans mimics Fabi’s speech

[Zencoder]

If Hans cheated and was proved in doing so no one would be surprised

[meow]

Is Hans trolling or being real, the guy is so bizarre

[paulrhyne]

I'm done talking about Hans lol, but Fabio seems like a down the earth nice guy! 😎🔥♟️

[Wiggam]

Link to interview this is talking about???

[markarmage]

The guy is a grandmaster and one of the top 100 players in the world, even top 50 and top 30.
Now he might be rude and doesn't want to entertain people by reciting the game but doing analysis at the level of 1800s can do is not something he can't do. He just doesn't want to do it.
Any chess move, if "cheated" shall give a favorable positioning, and it's easy to see why. So to say he doesn't know how to analyze engine move, if his moves are engine move is ignorant.
