(the opponents of) Borislav Ivanov would beg to differ... I guess he didn't completely get away with it since he got a ban for a while, but no one uncovered hard proof of how he did it. Officials just saw an FM suddenly playing 100% perfect games every game. Then he moved on from chess and ran an ID counterfeiting ring before going to prison. What a guy.

I just started hearing about this whole thing (I'm not really a chess player, but just someone who likes the game and watches educational videos now and then). I'm so glad to have come across this video, I was only getting bits and pieces of the story here and there beforehand. Thank you, very well done! With some nice comedic touches :)

Same here.

This was very professionally created and presented, better than most newscasters! I hope we see more of these short 'reporting the important news from chess' in the future!

Bobby Fischer’s peak rating is 2895 - he never got a 100% accurate game. Garry Kasparov’s peak rating is 2856 - he never got a 100% accurate game. Hans Niemann’s peak rating is 2688 - and he has had 10 games with 100% accuracy. One of those games was 42 consecutive perfect moves, and it was not a blowout type of game either. Doing that is pretty much impossible. Hans is 19 years old with 10 perfect games already, Magnus (peak rating 2882) is 31 and has had only 2 perfect games in his whole career. People that don’t think this is at least credible evidence are incredibly naive.

@Chando No one is talking about comparisons for the court though. This is a social issue. We treat social justice different than court justice. Evidence is treated differently in social situations. I think you know this. For example, Say you have a friend / girlfriend that frequents your house. Whenever they come over, you notice that things are suddenly missing. One day it's a phone charger, another day it's some money you left out on your desk in your room. You confront them about it and ask them, they deny it. They say I did not steal and you have no 'evidence' to believe I did do it. In this world (the world you're laying out in your comment) you have no moral justification in taking action in protecting your belongings from this person. Would you just say 'oh I guess so, you're right I don't have any evidence..' and move on? Would you go and buy cameras and put them all around your house so you can get evidence? Would you continue to allow them to steal your stuff? What happens when cameras can't solve this dilemma? What I would say to someone in such a situation is I don't need HARD evidence to confront you about it, and stop allowing you into my house. The circumstances surrounding my stuff going missing and you coming over happens way too often. Without a shadow of a doubt? This means zero in social situations. We take probability over 'without a shadow of a doubt'. Of course there's a chance the stuff was not stolen by the friend/girlfriend. But that's kind of irrelevant. I hope you're following this example, my point is the circumstances surrounding Hans is way too much of a 'coincidence' (having a cheater be his mentor, the accuracy of the games, PLUS the opinions of the GMs who closely observe the situation) to just be brushed off by someone like you as 'without a shadow of a doubt'. In social issues, we can take action even if its not 100%.

@Chando Ok well I'm glad you admitted that you don't care about it. Us in the chess community do, as it's affecting the integrity of the game & sport in general. If you have been a part of chess for a long time (as I have) then you would care. So if you don't care, please just take a step back and don't just say things without any backing. If someone were to be cheating in baseball, basketball or any other spectator sport does this matter? Well it does for the people who invest the time and effort to follow these things. Social issue disingenuous? Not really. The original comment that you replied to was talking about 'credible evidence' in the terms of whether or not YOU should consider Hans a cheater. Nothing about 'the courts'. You were the one who brought up the courts (which is irrelevant because we're talking about a social issue) Even if we were talking about the court case, Hans is taking MAGNUS to court for DEFAMATION. not the other way around. I could understand if Magnus was taking Hans to court and then you label it a court issue. But it's not that way.

This is a good summary from Andrea, you can tell that the script is super careful to not say anything that they could get surf for, but to me, while the mathematical tools that show how insanely improbable so many of these events were and how not only has a boy with little sign of prodigy, after being coached by a known cheat, and cheating online regularly (believed to be around 100+ times) leaps to performing better than any person in history. Many games are at a level exceeding any player in history. Also, strangely, apart from an insane leap in performance during the few years since, unlike any other player at this level, he fails to continue to improve at all. Eg if you stack all players in history that are at that level we're prodigies at a very young age, showed genius and beating masters while under 10, then dedicated decades to gradually improving and even improving after hitting international level. Vs a known cheater, of mdoerate ability, skipping all prize games for 6 months and comes back as the best in the world and never improves since. Also, the post match interview showed an extreme lack of memory for the game just played and numerous statements of plays he considered, and most of those were losing options and he seemed to have zero awareness of this. Also, His gameplay over the board is highly erratic, dropping to his pre "miracle" level and then far exceeding the best players in the world. Also, he stated that he had prepped that particular extremely rare opening the day before in a miracle of luck. This open is so utterly rare, and Magnus has only ever played that open 1 time, when he was 7 years old. Many of his interviews also seem to contain very strange and mismatched / guilty sounding replies. The new accent. The cheating, then lying about it being only 2 games... I have been open to both options and if its a miracle - amazing. But just looking at this from a mathematical probability perspective, on balance I feel comfy that he is cheating. And I base that on the maths of the games. The chess speaks for itself.

I appreciate your keeping this PG. Great video.

It is not how perfect your move is but your tactics or strategy. War in the board could be liken to a war in a battlefield where there may be wrong places for the right unit or wrong unit for the right places but does not affect the total out come of the battle because most of the tactical or strategic moves are in right places hence some blunders may be compensated by a strong move or tactics. In Chess a Tal-like sacrifice could be imprecise but it does the work or purpose still.

"Probably when he saw Hans’s play in Miami, and on the beach…it didn’t match with the level of the play in the actual event, when you combine it with the long-existing rumours, Magnus became convinced something was off". I will say that it is a case of enough is enough. Personally, I think the evidence is overwhelming. I hope you survive and prosper :)

Money... my best guess is that whole beach fiasco was to give the public what they wanted and they probably offered too much $ to turn down, why else would they do it

to my knowledge, Magnus has never intimated that Hans actually cheated AT the Sinqfield. This very well could have been an extension of his disagreement (along with others) of allowing him to even play as a sub in in the tourney in the first place. Given Hans' history as a cheater which most high level players new about, it's very plausible that Magnus didn't even want to be across the board from a known cheater (phyche mess). It's hard mind-bendingly enough to play in a legendary tourney at that level, let alone with the added (tons of) weight of facing a known cheater over the board. This whole thing quite well may have been a zero-tolerance stance on cheaters by Magnus.

OMG i love the way you present things, i think you would be a great presenter!!!

This was a clear, concise story and unbiased from what I can tell, I am very impressed, you earned my subscribe today with this article

1:00 OMG "The chess world is LITERALLY on fire!" That is far worse than any cheating scandal. These people are on fire, or their boards are at least. Is no one going to put them out???

I think you meant "5 championship matches in a row", not "5 years in a row".

Wow this was actually a brilliant video. full of relevant information, presented well, some lighthearted jokes that were fitting, to be completely honest, i did not expect this. most recent videos on your channel (i'm just telling my personal view and dont want to offend) lean heavily into the clickbait/look at this girl niche, but this was great. thank you.

That Wesley guy is defending his name "Wesley...SO?!"

how it can be marked as "cheating scandal" if we are not even able to prove it 🤨

I mean he did cheat only therefore the title is not wrong

I wonder how it is we know that no one has cheated in over the board games and got away with it. Head hurts.

Your 30sec videos are great and entertaining. Your LONGER videos are truly AWESOME, though, so keep them coming. :)

The LAWSUIT GAMBIT! Courageous to do this video given the current situation, hans really be playing chess irl - the lawsuit gambit

2:01 dude thinks he's a main character in an anime 🤣

Another great video! I love these non Chess playing videos , I hope you keep doing more!

Andrea you need to make more videos like this hahaha so good!

How can the chess world be literally on fire?

1:19 “To this day, no one has gotten away with it at the top level.” A bit tautological, no? If we knew someone had ‘gotten away with it’, they wouldn’t have gotten away with it?

I've followed the whole scandal but the commentary here is just great. Very witty and entertaining!

The defaymation case speaks for itself

They know who they are, they can speak for themselves.

In the Fischer random WC, the Norwegian broadcasting team were continuously able to smuggle all kinds of devices that can be used for cheating.

Having suspiciously perfect accurate games, without having the ability to explain your moves to an interviewer is more than enough to me… and for Magnus for that matter. Hans is a criminal mastermind who is able to cheat over the board bypassing all security measures… but he’s certainly cheating for the aforementioned reason above.

He admitted cheating in the past twice . Why stop then? That is all you need to know really. Most people who are gifted at chess wouldn't even bother cheating. You need to a be a particular type of person with no morals or empathy to do it

There's an inaccuracy in the beginning of the video. In the FTX crypto cup it's true that Hans didn't score a single point but he also beat every single player in that tournament except Alireza. So, he didn't exactly get thrashed and he's perfectly capable of beating super grandmasters in a game.

7:04-7:30 I knew Andrea's response was coming, but it was still hilarious 😂

Thanks for the info my dear

Wow, the best summary we got from all chess creators

i didn’t realize how many crypto sponsors there are for chess tournaments

The reason no one has been documented to get away with cheating at the top level is bcuz they weren’t caught 💀

Btw by saying this I am not saying the top players are cheaters, just to clarify.

The $100 mil dollar figure is meaningless. You can sue for $1bil, but if you can't prove that your damages were in that range, then you won't get awarded the full amount if you win the lawsuit. The most he can expect to win would be the sum of all tournament winnings that he could've won from any tournaments he has been banned from, possibly revenue from publicity, and maybe income he might be able to claim from hikaru from exploiting and profitting off the defamation. Side note, I would love to watch more journalist videos from andrea, this was great!

Tell that to Alex Jones - no way were his conspiracy theories worth $1 billion in damages but a biased judge still ordered him to pay. Not saying that will happen in this particular case but it does happen at times.

Andrea, nicely done! I followed this story in the media early as it unfolded, then watched a couple of other KZreadrs analysis. You went back in his history and summarized how it unfolded.
