Wow!
This comment speaks for itself.
I am only 1200blitz.
Can't comprehend. Need some help to understand...
Please
Magnus knew all along. He was so many moves ahead of us, like always.
All these lame ass kid defending Hans on CZcams think they know even a slightly comparable amount to Magnus. Magnus is not only a genius but also a humble person who loves the game of chess. It is beyond delusion to think Magnus would accuse anyone of cheating without sufficient evidence to suggest it was most likely true.
So magnus has evidence of hans cheating? I never saw him present one
@@kartikeyatiwari2502 having 10 games @ 100% accuracy and 23 above 90%.
"The engine speaks for itself"
You may have a problem with thinking critically. Please tell me how many GMs have that many games with perfect accuracy.
Magnus acting like one of those ultra smart characters in anime who know how something is going to end the moment it begins. And the thing is it almost looks like he's going to pull it off.
This comment section is pretty weird ngl
It's pretty crazy that his defense was "I didn't know I was cheating with engine suggestions, I thought I was cheating with human suggestions."
Yeah what a dumb argument. I swear if anyone buys that I would lose hope in humanity.
It's fairly common for high rated / titled players to coach people with collaborative games. I've seen it before on twitch as well, I don't think that many people realize this is a violation of fair play. Though, I doubt it matters for normal matches, since like Dlugy said, it only worses your ELO and stands as a way to instruct weaker players with the mistakes that they make. It's probably only a more notable issue because titled tuesday is a cash event.
Look up his wiki. He's a Wall Street gangster along with Kasparov.
I still can't buy the premise that a cell phone program can beat Super GMs.
@@npip99 ??? Itâs common for people to crowdsource moves in a tournament?
So Magnus already knew something we didn't know. His hint of Dlugy name was so clever.
The name drop was an engine move. Especially now in the end game
so savage, Magnus be like im not calling you out but i would call out your coach which had cheated, then praised that he did a great job LMAO
Hans admitted to cheated in 2020 and people act like he did it when he was "just a kid" or "earlier in his career"
Yeah watching a 19 year old talk about cheating when he was 16 and younger like heâs 37 is laughable.

First Magnus name drops this dude, and suddenly this all leaks out. Itâs like Magnus and chesscom are playing chess and the rest of us are playingâŠ. not as good chess.
Funny that Dlugy's story of a student using a mobile device and calling out move suggestions while he was playing Titled Tuesday is exactly the same as how Niemann said it happened when he was 12 (in his Sinquefield interview with Alejandro), he said that he was playing Titled Tuesday and a friend was there calling out suggestions from a device and he was innocently playing the moves.
Learned from the best
Dlugy is teaching his students some questionable habits
if a person has said "it won't happen again" more than once about the same thing they did, believe that it will happen again. and again... and again... it almost sounds like Dlugy has an addiction to cheating in chess.
only one like on this comment, from Hikaru. Yeah, cheating in games is like an adiction.. its the coke users of the player base lol
and isnt he, or wasnt he a financial manager of some sort???
250$ is kinda cheap considering he makes you a 2700 gm in no time

Just like any cheater - Dlugy is trying to trickle the truth, admitting to a tiny portion of the cheating to get away with the rest. Seems like his student learned from him not only chess, and potentially cheating, but also this exact technique - "I've only cheated twice and only in online tournaments"
once was enough to know i cant trust him
Yup, at this point I've seen enough Wirtual and Karl Jobst videos on cheaters to recognize this patern.

Yes and because Dlugy was a FORMER coach of Hans with no established continued or recent communication between the two, we can finally conclude that Lord Magnus is right, once again.

From grandmaster to toastmaster: my journey
-by Hans Niemann, probably
I donât know that heâs toast just yet. Nothing has been confirmed as of his recent (last 2-3 years) that he has been cheating. It certainly doesnât look good for Hans. It would be sad if he has been cheating recently. Especially since heâs used his âget out of jail freeâ cards already. But if he has been cheating and is caught for a 3rd time, he gets what he deserves. I want to hope this is not the case. But I firmly believe he should be dealt with strictly if he has been cheating. Possibly a lifetime ban at this point.
@@Wargasm54 The problem is, he may even have gotten his GM title through dodgy wins. Imagine for a second what that means.
@@PHeMoX it means nothing if it canât be proven. If it can, then he simply gets stripped of his title.
It's safe to say if someone has been caught cheating once, they have cheated a lot more than once.
Watching that clip really makes me appreciate Hikaru's evolution in attitude.
A lot less fighting with chat and a lot more confidence and positive vibes!
Fake af
He should embrace his darkside
Ofc since it secures him the bag it's cool more or less
Lol dont fool yourself, Hikaru is just "positive" because he likes drama. He's a toxic person, and I would bet that Hans would sooner beat Magnus legitimately before Hikaru turns into a decent person
I love how to schizo nobodies with no pfp/avatar got triggered at this inmediately upon first glance

Innocent until proven guilty. He cheated as a kid. Everyone makes mistakes as a kid.

Hans is a cheater who got caught cheating online in his teenage years,he deserves his life to be ruined. Also I believe he cheated in the sinquefield cup cause the world chess champion thinks so.

The Hans documentary is going to be crazy
Netflix already working on it at this point
As someone who has coached kids in a sports and chess, the fact that Dlugy was willing to 1) violate the rules by having his kids provide moves during Titled Tuesday, and 2) throw said kids under the bus when he gets caught is troubling. As a parent, I would not want my kids anywhere near this guy as a coach. Frankly, I don't buy his whole story. You simply do not have time to have several kids provide moves in a 3+1 game. Now, if it was 1 "kid" (perhaps named "Hans"?) and that kid was standing behind you with a phone running Stockfish and just telling you moves, sure.
Chat what move to play chat thanks cbat gm hikaru cheats every time
The master taught the student well. Niemann is a fast learner.
As long as he isn't an obsessive learner, that beat Magnus after learning chess for 1 month... Lol
I'm so glad Hikaru is putting this stuff out there. These are things I've known about (obviously in much less detail) and it's so frustrating seeing countless people talking out their arses who don't know any of this stuff. Thank you Hikaru. I know that you run the risk of getting flamed like everyone was going after Magnus but I really hope the tide is starting to turn on this scenario and people accept that Hans is at the very, very least, highly suspicious.
Whether or not they are cheating in a particular game, a known cheat has a psychological advantage. It's like being in a fist fight with someone carrying a knife, but assures you he won't use it. This is a big part of Magnus's reasoning I think, and an aspect the defenders of Hans never address.
I love that analogy. Especially with these waaaay to mild punishments for cheating in tournaments. It's essentially lucrative to get caught once or twice so you can use this knife threat in your further carreer.
Great way to put it. But also, always assume everyone is packing a weapon and just avoid fights, is the real sigma mindset.
Dlugy is like palpatine and hans is like vader.
Not good enough to be Vader. More like Palpatine and Maul?

@@jamiedimond9419 Whoâs the boss then, fool?
"We would like to give you a forth chance, please don't break our hearts again..."
So he's like "Okay, I was cheating, but my student was cheating MORE and I'll name him." Really shows someone who can't take responsibility for a situation that they as a teacher created.
Most likely, he's just plain cheating and blaming it on kids
"It wasn't me who cheated I swear! It was one of my 1500-1900 rated students who I didn't notice had a phone and was giving me moves that were crushing GMs. I somehow didn't realise woops! I bet it was little Timmy, that boy must be stopped!"
Dlugy and Niemann seem to have brought the expression "depth of a move" into a whole new dimension.
Lol
Dlugy's legal threats against Magnus are hilarious. Living up to the stereotype
I'm not surprised tbh. Cheaters in such communities can either do that or lose their money/name.
It sucks to think that small guys are easily screwed by such threats and lawsuits.
now you know why Magnus was so careful to have all his ducks in a row. he knew the scum he was dealing with.
@@calamorta Tbh that's more due to the laws regarding lawsuits. If laws were more stringent regarding lawsuits, then lawsuits wouldn't be ruining people. Help change the laws.
15 yo account WTH
Oh, you're an ancient account.
Hans didnt cheat two times tho, he got caught twice..
failed to cheat twice
Can you prove he cheated more than twice? Or that he cheated over the board?
Something worth doing: investigate exactly where Maxim Dlugy physically was in some of Niemann's most suspicious recent games. If he was sitting somewhere in front of a computer logged in to a nice engine package each time ...
It's a bit upsetting that Chesscom will allow a player to multiple chances to stop cheating because said person has won a title.
These champion/titled players should be held to a HIGHER standard than the average player.
"I was playing on my friend's computer"..."My brother installed cheats on my computer"... same lvl of excuses...
It literally doesn't matter who the kid was. You're their teacher, and you get fed moves you cannot comprehend, and you're not suss ? Come on. The fact he's trying to throw one of the kids under the bus is, as they'd say in scotland, disgosten
dlugy is lying
Tbf engine moves aren't really incomprehensible to GM level players. If you give a GM a really good move they can probably figure out pretty quickly why it's good. Of course, finding that good move on your own is a completely different story.
Like, if it wasn't for the 2020 incident, I could see giving Dlugy the benefit of the doubt and maybe he was telling the truth. But in 2020 he didn't even try giving a bs excuse.
16 yo account ....
However, the fact that he is prepared to sacrifice the kid with the engine suggests that it probably is a true story to some extent at least.
Magnus knew hans was i hoax. After two games on the beach M C realised that hans is around 2400. Suddenly he plays like a 2700 + player

Sith lord to apprentice
Regardless of whether Hans cheated on his game with Magnus, it's over. I don't think his career will ever recover from this. The reputation of cheater would always follow him now. More players would probably refuse to play with him, and tournaments might stop inviting him. And.. he kind of deserves it. He did it to himself. I don't care if he admits to cheating when he was younger. Countless other young players never cheated, never even thought of cheating. Just because you're young, doesn't mean you get a pass, especially in sports where fairness and sportsmanship are paramount, especially in chess where so many of the top players start as child prodigies. Hans wrecked himself. And although he's catching so much flak, kudos to Magnus for staking his legacy on exposing this huge problem.
mioce bs
Now i cant wait to see how Levy is going to do mental gymnastics to defend the cheaters
The most dog ate my homework explanation ever.
Imagine if Magnus purposely played against Hans with specifically odd move sequences to see whether or not he's cheating. So Magnus didn't play very well bc he was playing 4D chess instead
That would be insanely bigbrain
i genuinely think he did this for a couple moves, that game was very out of the ordinary for Magnus in a lot of ways. And that's before you consider that nuclear streak he's been on.
That would be very big brain. He has already shown that he doesnât care much about matches with Niemann with that 2 move game, so it makes sense that he would have tactically tried to expose Niemann with the first game against him.
It also makes sense because he has said in the email that he thought about leaving the Sinquefield tournament, so it clearly shows he has been thinking about what he should do in the tournament. I think this post-hoc reasoning really ties everything together.
Nah he just lost and played bad.
Imagine that to be true. That would be insane.
This is absurd. Whether Hans cheated or not it's clear the type of people these two are. Everyone who's ever played in any sport or competition knows the type: slippery, shady, totally unscrupulous and insufferable. Will go kicking and screaming the whole way as they are found out, gasping at the audacity of their accuser, clutching their pearls and claiming the moral high ground, only to admit in the end that they simply "wanted it more" and were willing to "do whatever it takes" while, predictably, regretting nothing. They look down on all the poor saps who play by the rules. They are smart, tactical, big brain alpha chads who don't spare a seconds thought for how their actions might degrade the integrity of the game they are so hell bent on winning.
I'm not in the chess world but I'll admit this drama is captivating. You only need to hear Hans' many accents to get a glimpse of his motivations. After seeing this video it's clear these two were meant for each other.
Yeah Hans seems like such a slime ball to me
They even had the same excuse for cheating on titled tuesday lol
@@Life-Sky Dlugy did a great job "coaching" hans, as Magnus stated.
Nicely written
I remember the "bobbing with Dlugy" streams back in 2017 or so. Maxim was so good at spotting cheaters, it was incredible.
I don't get it why it would make a difference if the student used a computer or not. It doesn't matter, if someone is suggesting you moves, it's cheating. Doesn't matter how strong the subject is.
I suppose the method of cheating matters so that security can be improved, and we can look into if Hans could have used said method against Magnus. I'm not sure though..
Hans is done, this just keeps getting worse and worse
Getting worse by the day for Neiman but still not 100% just waiting for that fatal blow to his reputation that seems inevitable at this point, but honestly this seems much needed considering how easily someone that puts their mind to it could cheat at chess thanks for the updates Hikaru

If this teaches anything itâs that cheaters will always deny till you expose and corner them, then theyâll fully admit and try to compromise no matter how humiliated they look. Then they go back to cheating again lmaoooo
Iâm so glad Magnus is calling this out. This is like the Tour de France. So much freaking cheating.
Once a cheater you should never in any circustance be able to play top chess players ever. That should be a strict law.
Yeah not only does it affect the opponentâs mentality of which is a huge detriment to their game but also cheater.
Nah... Tbh i also was cheating a bit in online chess and honestely i cannot blame anyone for doing it... Ofc its a very different thing if done in a top game or a "real" chess game. But cheating once or twice in an online match when you are young should be forgivable. I stopped it because i saw that i wont improve if i only cheat and its not so much fun, i mainly used it for ragecheating against enemies where i was thinking they won "undeserved".
Lol you should juat be banned jakob.. just cheaters say cheating isnt a big thing. But it is.
Nah You are dumb and you do stupid things in your teenage years and thatâs good. Testing out your boundaries helps you understand them. I think there should be a difference between kids and adults cheating. If an adult cheats, I understand your point but if a kid cheats they should be given a second chance, after a temporary ban so they can learn from it. If they dont, bye
Jakob Youâre a CHEATER, shame on you! Nobody would like to face you as an âopponentâ if they knew what youâre doing. You are essentially cheating on yourself by even defending your mistakes.
Iâm still amazed about how arguably the best chess player to ever exist suspects a CONFIRMED CHEATER of cheating in a game and everyone just jumps to the conclusion that he must be salty for losing. If it were possible for Fischer to be in Magnusâ position givin his goat status you guys would be all over his knob in agreement.
Exactly. So many punks like Maurice Ashley etc. Maybe his nationality has something to do with it? Being American and young.
Wow you actually snuck the word knob in there
Goat who?
The thing is. None of these are proof hand cheated in this situation. Is it likely? Maybe. But is it fair to convict someone without sufficient evidence? No. Even if they have done it before.
The whole reason itâs like this, is this is Hans life, his career. And if we prevent him from playing and are wrong.. itâs quite the injustice.
Also, the majority agreed with Magnus that Hans is cheating look at all the gms and chats that made them interview Hans, but his silence made it a but suspicious, why? Because he was unwilling to confirm until later. Which he has finally done affirming his stance, where even more people are believing Magnus.
But until Hans is caught, or the evidence reaches in irrefutable level. Itâs not really right to prevent him from participating.
There's something important I think they haven't asked Hans Niemann. He has admitted to have cheated twice. But he didn't say which games they were. If Hans did cheat in 2 games as he has admitted, Hans can name those 2 games. His memory is very good i saw in old interviews, such as Youth World Championship 2019, so this can't be a problem. If there are more than 2 games in which he did cheat he will also know them. If the cheating was more intense then he did lie but will nevertheless be able to remember in which tournaments he did cheat. It will not be pleasant for him to name the games where he did cheat but I think it will help to explore statistics in the games of Hans.
Hook him up to a polygraph....
@@dexio8601 give him the truth serum
@@streetchronicles9025 đ€Ł
I donât think he was referring to just two games when he admitted to cheating twice⊠he was saying that he cheated on two separate occasions, over a period of time. Once was a cash tournament and the other time was over the course of a day or few days and he cheated to level up his account to play against IMâs and GMâs. But even if Iâm right in my interpretation, no doubt he can still remember the dates and/or tournament(s)
@@dexio8601 The Klingon mind probe!
Breaking news:Hans is also a confessed cheater. Last time was just 3 years ago
*wink wink*
last time he was caught
That's not news at all. Well known. At least by anyone not sticking their head in the sand.
Plot twist...it was Hans that taught Maxime how to cheat.
Hans:"My coach speaks for himself"...not međ
âIf I had this gadget I would be killing people left and right, and nobody would know. This is the real danger, because if a 2600 player has this thing, he knows exactly how to behave, he knows exactly when to think, and he doesnât to use it more than four times during a game. Thatâs plenty to destroy anyone. At the critical junction you switch it on and find out which way do I go: oh, this little nuance I didnât see, okay, fine, boom, goodbye! Thatâs it.â - Maxim Dlugy, in a 2013 interview on how he caught a cheater the previous year.
Kind of aged like milk with all thatâs going on didnât it.
Hikaruâs âOh Noâ gets me every time
Oh no Hans' engine
inb4 Hans defenders: "tHeReS sTiLl nO eVidEnCe, MaGnUs iS a SoRe LoSeR"
what evidence ?
well there still is no evidence as far as i know, so he shouldn't receive any sanction. would be naive to believe hans though with the info we have
Reminds me of: "Russia didn't invade Ukraine, it's NATO's fault".
@@soniablanche5672 Actually there is evidence, some 100% precision games and 90% precision, watch the other Videos on this topic.
But it was NATO's fault. NATO was using their puppet Zelensky to impoverish the Ukrainian people and militarize the Russian border.
Listen, just because his coach was caught cheating, and then his coach admitted cheating, and then his coach was banned from formal competition, and then he was caught cheating, and then he was caught cheating a second time, then he was banned from the world's biggest chess site for undisclosed additional cheating, doesn't mean he cheated THIS time!
Hikaru !! Man , you r doing a great job by keeping us updated . Thank you for that and also for giving your opinions openly unlike other creators .
how does this keep getting worse for niemann? Every time I think we've reached the bottom, it just falls out and theres just more.
This is becoming ridiculous, with cheating becoming harder and harder to detect (I'm almost sure they only catch the bad cheaters online there has to be some that get away with it if they are doing it discreetly) there shouldn't even be a second chance anymore if the cheater is of legal age.
The thing is hans didn't cheat 2 times he got caught 2 times think about it its so deep
The deep??
@@mrfool3545 Deep thoughts with the Deep.
Its insane to me that people are believing that he got help from a student who used AI. He CLEARLY invented that excuse after the fact.
Thank you Hikaru for covering this.
You are handling it very professionally, focusing on the fact, not making a clown show out of it and without adding inappropriate rumors to the discord.
Really?
The amount of Hans bots in the comments section is insane
Just remember, according to the numbers, Hans is the greatest player of all time
In just 3 years the number overtook the greatest player of all time which takes 10 - 20 years...stunning impressive!
I am absolutely loving this - the "circumstantial evidence" just gets better and better, still no word from Hans. What a reach it is to trust the reigning chess world champion who has no history of cheating.
Id be curious to how sure Magnus is that Hans was cheating during that game in the sinqfield cup. I wonder what % chance Magnus thinks Hans was cheating. Im sure decently high, because he wouldn't throw Hans under the bus if he didn't think there wasn't a reasonable chance. At the same time I think if Magnus had won the game in a hard fought game or even had drawed he wouldn't have claimed Hans cheated. Maybe losing was good though since it made Magnus more aware of a serious issue. Having said that I don't know if he cheated, and if he did there needs to be proof. I don't think his career should be ruined at this level without proof.
@@billj4525 I mean honestly that game can go either way, psychologically it's very possible Magnus already had the heavy assumption of him cheating and self sabotage himself, which is another topic that I still think is unfair at that level to have to play a known cheater. However, I don't think cheating is as hard for great chess players as people think, simply knowing the positional rating of each move is more than enough.
@@JakeLondonRivers Magnus played a line that he never played before and he was considering not playing the tournament in the first place. I think he set a trap for Niemann. He purposefully designed an opening that was weird so that Niemann had to resort to his engine multiple times so that he could prove afterwards that Niemann played weird engine only moves.
@@suckieduckie oooh good read.
That kind of adds up to quite a lot...
First, rumors and a cold welcome to Niemann (especially compared to -other- young prodigies like Alireza and Praag), then the whole Magnus/Sinquefield Drama. Then the online cheating revelations. Then the Yosha & co proof. And now the root of it all.
