Sinister Magnus - Fair Play

Sort:
YChess

2 months ago, @SinisterMagnus hit the #2 on the leaderboard, just behind Magnus Carlsen. There have been speculations of it being Magnus' alt. @GothamChess covered a video.

That week, the owner has closed his account and stated " Closed: Inactive"
Last week though, I noticed the account as reopened.
Today, the account has been closed for fair play.
Wow.

Magnus's Alt ? Do you mean Magnus's 2nd or alternate account ? From what I know, if this 2nd, alternate account is banned/close, then the 1st, main account will be banned too. It's what I read from : https://support.chess.com/article/596-can-i-have-multiple-accounts

We are talking about Magnus, part of PlayMagnus bought by chess.com, world champion, GM, streamer here. That rule is for members.

It has to be a cheater. No other theories are really that logical.

On Gotham's Tiktok video about this months ago, Chess.com commented on the video. If its not Magnus they will ban him long ago.

Wait, I have a new theory:
Chess.com is constantly aware of SinisterMagnus, but they only shut it down months after.

Furthermore, Chess.com just released Torch.
Could this @SinisterMagnus be Torch version 1 or something which is weaker or like Play Magnus bot or something?
