Well if you think about it, cheating in a money tournament is basically fraud.

Didn't know the history of cheating started with Vinland Saga

[nachtdagho]

Cheating in 1600 be like: “hey what’s that over there!” (Looks away) *pawn has been moved*

Okay found an Norwegian article about Canute (Knud) and other viking chess cheating scandals:

-King Canute of Denmark and Norway played against his brother in law Ulf Jarl, Roskilde (Denmark) year 1026.
It appears to have been a friendly match that allowed for take backs (up to interpretation).
The King makes af move with his knight, immediately realized that it was a bad move and want to take it back.
Ulf insult Canute for his lack of courage and a heated discussion followers.
King Canute have Ulf put to death for his vile insults (and not allowing take back I guess).

This content is perfect for when you want to chess out, but can’t spare enough attention to keep up with a game. Love it

👉 The “PATTERN” (metrics over time) showing HANS should be SUSPECT is OVERWHELMING. It is just circumstantial, but also OVERWHELMING. His “pattern” is unlike ANY player in history (young or old).

Niemann isn't cheating. Niemann is just testing the vibration level like back in the 90's.

If someone writes the history of milking topics about chess on the internet, Hikaru will be in all the pages.

Considering there is prize money in some tournaments, cheating in chess is basically stealing. Prison time seems reasonable to me. If you stole huge amount of money in some other way you would go to jail.

[DaveMcGlade]

Does Hans have a neurolink from Tesla haha

[guyarcher]

People should not be allowed to sit in your eye line staring at you while you're playing. Korchnoi definitely had a point.

In the Netherlands where I'm from I played tournaments in the early eighties as a kid and sometimes I did rather well so I ended up against the strongest players and one time someone was caught using those big chess devices on batteries against me on the toilet and I was very surprised when they told me. And even more surprised that a couple of years later he had become one of the youngest grandmasters ever i my country 🙈Also at my club a very talented 12yo kid was caught using such a device. I can also remember someone cheated while playing the Russian grandmaster Petrosjan in those exhibitions where they played blind against many players simultaneously and after the match won by the former world champion he told his competitor he was using such a device as well. I played as well and of course I lost 😄

I wonder what this does to Kasparov's legacy? And that was at Linares -- if you're capable of cheating at that event, you'll cheat anywhere you can get away with it. If there's evidence against Niemann it will out, but that's no reason not to act where there's no doubt.

[carterjohnson]

Hans was right. His Chess speaking for its self at US Champs.

Hikaru a goat chess player, YouTube streamer, now a history teacher..😊

[LeeSurveying]

Rest in Peace Konstantin Landa, sadly another russian grandmaster leaves us all

[jlaurson]

FYI: Allwermann WAS discovered to have cheated (by way of camera, accomplice, radio ear-piece, and Fritz5.32).
