The Hans cheating/sore loser scandal will kill Chess as a game!

not really nothing will happen and it won't kill the game entirely, more it will simply just be another drama that occurred in the chess world and people will be like "oh yeah that thing" lol

wait nerves that would a crime, its the husbands of saint louis remember

if they dressed as wives then i can see it happening, the saint louis husband gf drama

If pawns can become Queens, why couldn't Magnus or Hikaru become one?

It might be that event organisers will have to go to even greater lengths to assuage the fears of their competitors or the reputation of the game will suffer.

We don't know yet what Carlsen thinks might be happening but one thing I'm sure of is that he's in a much better situation to assess the risk of cheating than the hive mind which constitutes the internet.

they may be inanimate but their passion inspires the best wives like hikaru and magnus

Judging from the discourse over the last few days, one thing we have learned from this is that chess doesn't make you any smarter.

    That's for sure: The Chicago White Sox in 1919...... Lance Armstrong in 2013...... and just last month GM Mikhail Ploppachenko at the Chess Olympiad. During a game, Ploppachenko was caught with the entire text of Nimzowitsch's My System written on the palm of his left hand.

I havent seen Hans supporters mention the obvious.

Namely that Nepo-Liren is a fraud.

Again, the argument being that Hans was prevented from being champion...via the establishment.

Far from killing the sport, the next time they face each over the board could become a major event.

Of course, cheating will kill chess. Cheating has already killed baseball, basketball, soccer, football, boxing, cycling, track and field, wrestling, hunting and fishing, gymnastics, racing, shooting, sailing, and marriage. Darn cheaters, what’s next? Elections, taxes, weights and measures?
