You gotta acknowledge Vishy tho, 93% accuracy against an engine, that's insane play by him, even in a simul

[chamidumadumal]

"It's ridiculous to think i'd actually rob a bank."
-a guy caught robbing a bank

[LeventButSpeedrunning]

Vishy chose the best way to embarrass the cheater, he resigned.

[finngeometry]

Maybe Nikhil should have realised that no one looks “dumb” losing to someone like Vishy.

[IIIAnchani]

I played a GM once in a simul.
I didn't cheat.
he told me (after his victory, of course) that I was one of the tougher nuts to crack.
I never felt better after losing a game of chess.
If I had cheated that day, I'd think back to that in shame. Now I can thing back to that day with pride.

[juangamazo]

Funny story ... I played a 2400 in one of my games I was1600. I was white. After 24 moves in a sicilian. He won, he complimented my game and analyzed a few moves. I was thrilled. That's what Nikhil will never have.

[glowinthedark]

I still don't understand what kind of ego that guy had. Carlsen beat Bill Gates in 9 moves and they were so cool with it.

[PTurtle]

a 400 just casually beating a 5 time world champion and man thought he'd raise no suspicion 💀💀

[mletrout]

Losing to Vishy would be a privilege for me, not an embarrassment.

Vishy resigning was such a good move by him. he doesnt need to call him a cheater, he does just enough to make the situation obvious to everyone
outstanding move

[canefan]

He blundered the first move to make it look like “there’s no way I could have cheated, you saw my blunder.”

[lawlietriver]

This is how insecure Nikhil is: He cheats at chess to not appear stupid. Then when he realizes how profoundly stupid that was, he deflects the blame to everyone else by basically saying "If you for even one move believed I was for real, you are the moron in this situation. How you feel about this is actually your fault, because you were not smart enough to just know I was going to cheat. Might even be your fault that I chose to cheat."

What a sad man.. Oh well.

[Skeepers]

The fact that Levy has to look into the camera and say “don’t write death threats to someone”, is depressing.

[noone]

He cheated in a friendly chess game for charity, imagine what he have done to become a billionaire

[pythontron]

Imagine if Vishy beat him. He would’ve won against a computer and no one would ever know.

[NicoDavid]

That's a shame. He had the opportunity to play with one of the greatest mind of chess this generation
and he cheated.
Doesn't matter if your rich, you don't cheat in chess.
You copy bong cloud and you hang your queen on the sixth move.
and you blame levy for not teaching uploading enough chess principles.


that's how you play. :P

[Medsas]

if he's willing to cheat at a charity event, I'm afraid to imagine what he's willing to do for his business... 😒

[FerDensetsu]

I'm a 1600 player and once I defeated a FM in a bullet game, not just by time flag, a real positional win. That was the second greatest day in my amateur chess journey, because the greatest day was when I had the chance to play Hikaru and get slaughtered in like 10 moves. It was awesome.

When your are a Billionaire but don't have enough money to buy Gotham chess courses

[MagnusAnand]

Bill Gates lost with grace against Magnus. All good. Nobody thought he was an idiot
