Hans Niemann vs The World

Sort:
LeraiOg

I think I finally have to get this off my chest, Hans Niemann is a talented young player from the United States that is being actively blacklisted and denied opportunities from the Saint Louis Chess Club, and the letter they published is absolutely awfully displeasing to read, accusing the young player of things that are objectively false!

Hans Niemann has reached out to the Saint Louis Chess Club repeatdly to have a cordial discussion with his bullies, that instead of focusing more important issues like dealing with the rampant predator issue entrenched in their club culture, has decided to take it upon themselves to ruin Hans Niemann's auspicious career by ignoring his letters, emails and messages sent to their management regarding him being invited to future tournaments.

Their other reason for blacklisting hans is equally as baffling as the last one, apparantly he did not suceed to "fulfill contractual obligations" when in reality this was an isolated incident when after a dissapointing draw he refused to give an interview. It is funny how when Hans Niemann does do, as he always does the interviews they always gain traction to the event he is playing in for the Saint Louis Club's benefit.

PS: The time where he in a fit of rage damaged a tv remote at the Chase hotel he graciously paid a heavy fine and wrote an overly-sufficient apology to the hotel staff and it shouldn't even be counted as a reason for his exclusion.

this is gonna turn into the argument "if he really cheated or not.." It was never proven but chess speaks for itself.. right?

dude has some evil eyes, and can do 'anything' to satisfy. I don't like him at all, not even a bit.

he against the world? pfft

Eh. He is mentally ill, but everyone should stop piling on him.

The last time he cheated was 8 years ago but I'm not even going to go into that

Here's another one.

I don't know him personally, but anyone can have a psychotic crisis, it must be treated, now those who know him think there is no cure, I'm not a psychiatrist, everything has a solution, ending a chess player's career is very aggravating, now I want to be the best in the world It's not that easy, content with the title of GM participate in international interview events, this all needs advice contracts are contracts, I'm going against the world, save general common sense.

Hans 'Rick James' Niemann.

I agree that it doesn't look like he will ever become WC, however, I've read somewhere before that players don't tend to peak until around age 29. If that is so and he puts the work into it then it is conceivable he could possibly become significantly better than he is.

Name a single quality that Niemann possesses that makes him a more attractive invite than any other similarly-rated player.

He's a young aspiring player that has just recently won the prestigious Tournament of Peace, and not only that, he brings traction to all the events he plays in bringing more people to chess.

I watched his streams, he is more salty rather than being attractive. he is nervous and trying to prove himself

This is so unprofessional of St. Louis Chess club. I marvel at their pettiness.

I think Hans is the type who likes the limelight, and since his current tournament participations have not brought in enough media reactions he is the sort that will hit the youtube to rake in that attention he so desperately seeks, I do feel he could become a great player, but to do so 1.) He has to put the work in 2.) He needs to conduct himself properly at events then he may be invited back!!

It's strange how chess.com refused to cover the 2023 World Junior Championship that by a coincidense Hans Niemann attended.. it seems something fishy is going on no

It's funny how you say all this subjective nonesense while being a proud Magnus fanboy

Nieman failed... he was discovered while using his sword against predator Magnus!! He is banned from Hackers club too with the pretention of using his gun without needed skills!!

When a club is being billed for thousands of dollars of damages to a hotel room the club rented (for the player to use) it doesn't seem that petty and the unprofessionalism doesn't seem to come from the club.
