I have studied Hans' behaviour for a while. I'm convienced he's just a very dedicated and motivated to improve player. In his podcast on perpetual chess he claimed he gave up everything to be able to play chess, train 12 hours a day and travel around the world. Imagine you sacrifice e

No. It's about R and N words.

Sinquefield Cup Tournament

Hans Moke Niemann 3/4 (+2 -0 =2) [games] Wesley So 2.5/4 (+1 -0 =3) [games] Ian Nepomniachtchi 2/4 (+1 -1 =2) [games] Fabiano Caruana 2/4 (+1 -1 =2) [games] Alireza Firouzja 2/4 (+1 -1 =2) [games] Dominguez Perez 2/4 (+0 -0 =4) [games] Vachier-Lagrave 1.5/4 (+0 -1 =3) [games] Levon Aronian 1.5/4 (+0 -1 =3) [games] Magnus Carlsen 1.5/3 (+1 -1 =1) [games] Mamedyarov 1/3 (+0 -1 =2) [games]

What're y'alls thoughts? Imagine if Hans finished 1st, that'd be wild. There'd be all kinds of crazy threads popping up everywhere there's chess discussions.

Update. This is yesterday's result. Round 5 is done and Hans is still in clear 1st with 3.5 points. I dont know why chessgames.com is over a day behind, it remindsme of a Goichberg tournament. .

Have you looked at the actual table?

Normally I would agree with you. But after the sandwich I feel much better. So back to the witch-hunt.

Woah, did someone mention food? Will there be snacks?

You seem to think that people here care too much about Hans Niemann. Most people just don’t care.

It's almost as if he read up on all the arguments in the threads here 😏

Is witch-hunting a sport?

A sport needs rules. We need some serious effort and coordination. All Hans on deck. Let Niemann be left behind.

The witch hunt on CSPAN followed rules but proved that standards are dead.

In the game against Magnus are there any questionable moves according to chess,com's algorithm or anyone else's? Can Magnus, Hikaru or chess.com make anything more than the vaguest of insinuations against Hans? If they can, let's hear it, if not shut up and leave the kid alone. Is it really so impossible to think that Magnus just played poorly?

I didn't know points were removed from all Carlsen's opponents. And yes, I looked at the actual table on chess24 as well as what chessgames.com had.

When playing over-the-board, there aren't many ways to cheat. Even if someone figures out how to cheat, there are pretty good ways to figure out what they did.

Unless the computer says you were playing computer moves, then you weren't.

Even then that's not conclusive proof in case of Super GMs, since they play so well them finding a computer-suggested move is not a conclusive proof they cheated.

Of course if a 1300 FIDE plays 60 games like a computer then it can be regarded as very very likely, lol.
