Hans Niemann talks to Cristian Chirila after a draw with Dominguez in Round 5 of the 2022 U.S. Chess Championship. "This order speaks for itself." 2022.10.09 USChessChamps.com
Regardless where you stand? So if he's cheating and undermining chess standards going back decades I should be happy he's having a good time? Come on man *puts on sunglasses*
@@radscorpion8 Yuma/NdNd I understand. I'm actually in the camp that thinks he has cheated OTB, and found his Sinquefield cup interviews very sus. He's also not an honest person clearly. But I for one don't want the psychological pressure to go too far, that's all.
The last time I passed through the central west end, Garry Kasparov was in line in front of me at a Starbucks. It's a surreal place for a long time chess fan. The funniest thing was that Garry reacted every time a name was called, no matter how unlike "Garry" the names were. Every time it was his turn to move.
@@rypaz87 surreal is a good way to describe it. I played back in the day when we met at grants farm community center. Then we were homeless for a long time playing in bookstores and whatnot. The best player in missouri was IM Michael Brooks. Never in a million years would I have guessed that chess would be so big that you just might see kasparov at Starbucks. Absolutely wild.

Quite opposite they were discussing positions like GMs do.

@@imeprezime1285 Exactly. He also made like a few hundred max from the times he cheated that he likely would have made regardless. His cheating is more like cheating in a pickup football game w friends than taking performance enhancing drugs in the FIFA World Cup.
Hans is in a good mood, he sees lots of people actually support him. There’s no evidence whatsoever of cheating OTB, analysis shows his games were normal in SL. All Magnus has is ‘he cheated almost 3 years ago’ ‘his ex coach is a cheater’ and ‘I had a weird feeling in ST Louis. It’s not gonna work buddies. Go Hans
