Hans niemann also cheated over the board I believe..
well actually a few years ago he was found cheating online, i think. Not OTB, but people still think he cheated OTB, even though there was no cheating proof other than a past charge.
Was there a charge? I don't remember that there was.
Hans was found guilty of cheating on chess.com and banned when he was younger. After being punished, analysts agree that Hans stopped cheating on online chess. There is no proof that Hans ever cheated in over the board chess. Personally I believe that the controversies surrounding Hans is way over pushed, and seeing a young chess grandmaster face so much public negativity to a point where it is crippling his career make me feel shameful for the chess community, that I am a part of, to let this happen.
Don't think Hans is WC Material.
happy to watch him prove me wrong.
