I'm not sure if this is a bad idea...

[Commenting on the Magnus-Niemann scandal]

After playing against Magnus Carlsen and beating him in the Sinquefield Cup, Niemann was accused of cheating by many other chess GMs, including Hikaru himself. [Hans was known for inconsistent playing]

Magnus withdrew from the tournament, leaving a mysterious tweet behind.

This incident has rocked the chess world, and both Niemann and Carlsen are in a whirlpool of controversy. Many assumed that Niemann was using a cheat device called vibrating anal beads, though no evidence has been proven.

Fast forward to a bit later, Niemann filed a 100 million lawsuit because of "egregious defamation" by Carlsen, Hikaru and the chess.com team, making the scandal even huger. 

The chess world ^^^

This is what some people think: Hans is definitely cheating, so Magnus lost to him.

Some people also think: Magnus is a sore loser because he defamed Hans to pretend that he was tricked and is actually a good chess player.

This is what I think: I'm technically neutral, but all that controversy isn't helping. I think Hans and Magnus should stay quiet until this scandal is over, or until something is proven to the judges. If Hans cheated, it would be a really bad idea. 

Lets just hope that these scandals will not happen again...
