Occam's Razor Supports that Hans Niemann did not cheat against Magnus, or in OTB in general.

Don’t you know he’s only cheating if he wins? Even his opponents seem to agree with that. 

I do not understand this attitude.  If you were Niemann, and if you were cheating...would you continue to cheat in this current situation, or would you back it off a while?

I wrote this in reply to your post after seeing RookNoob "did not get it".  He assumed the side you were on.  People will tend to do that.

What didn't I get? I was being sarcastic. Unless nervesofbutter was being serious about his implant failing. then yeah, I didn't get it.

But I knew you were joking, that's why I replied. I thought you were in the Hans isnt cheating camp? Which I agree with.

Okay good to know. I was mislead by your dozens of posts arguing Hans wasn't cheating.

I don't really see how this is hurting the game. Chess is more popular than ever. This has been the best free publicity Chess could have hoped for. It's not like Hans or Magnus invented the possibility of cheating in Chess, they just took it mainstream.

That’s the proper approach to most forums. If you ever read one of those bills, you’ll understand why members of Congress don’t read them.

Handling cheating quietly was what had been done before and it was what really hurt the game. It might have hurt reputation of Hans and Magnus, but the game and (clean) players in general are going to be the beneficiaries in the future. You don't want chess to become cycling in the 90s where everyone was forced to take PEDs if they wanted a fighting chance to compete, because everyone else was doping and nothing would happen even when they were caught.

The Cycling Community must have been fully aware of what was going on back then even in Olympic Cycling. But did they say anything. Their silence on the issue speaks volumes, pun intended. Let’s hope that the Chess Community don’t making this a personal Witch Hunt against one person. 

Well, to be fair, most members of Congress read at a 1st grade level, so that may have something to do with it.

Reminds me of December 2009 when Mayweather - Pacquiao was on the verge of being signed and Mayweather suddenly made demands for additional drug testing. Internet trenches were immediately dug and everyone became an overnight performance enhancing drug (PED) expert. This rattled on for five years until the fight actually happened and was a damp squib. There's a cautionary tale there: if Niemann and Carslen meet OTB again eventually, it will probably be a tedious draw.

Occam's Razor in a contest between two, or more, equally valid hypothosis the one with the fewest assumptions is more likely to be true.

Many super GMs have said they found nothing suspicious in his gameplay against Magnus. 

I also disagree his OTB performance is suspicious. 

Actual reputable sources have disputed that claim, such as those used by Regan.

The bachelor degree computer scientists on YouTube are 100 times less knowledgeable on the statistics Regan uses.

It's like a medical student thinking he knows more than 30 year practicing surgeon.

Why are u on all forums u sussy baka

Maybe it's a false flag operation for the illuminati of which Carlsen is a member.

Absolutely right. Irrespective of whether Niemann has cheated more than he has admitted to, at least people now realise that chess is important enough to bother cheating in the first place  

Many Super GMs have stated they see Niemann's play in several key games to be highly suspicious.  These are players who know a lot more about Chess than Ken Regan.  If you are going to dismiss ideas based on expertise (i.e. appeals to authority), you get into murky waters quickly in either direction.

Regan has stated nothing about, and his model does not look at, the rating increase.

Someone posted an interview with Regan where he talked about Niemann’s rating increase in terms of his predictions. In that instance, he suggests that Niemann’s rating increase was a little surprising.
