you could do it, some of the things people have done to cheat at gambling are unbelievable, chess would be relatively easy

one interesting thing i read is magnus before this whole thing was speculating about cheating and said that hed only need to have two or three moves a game given to him to be totally unbeatable
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 21 September 2022 21:55 (one year ago) link
and people have done engine cheating over the board before fwiw tho not at as a high profile a tourney as sinquefield

you dont even need to get the moves from the anal beads just having them in there is an advantage

Oh I guess Dlugy is a known cheater huh.
Maxim Dlugy is an infamous New York based GM and coach, who has been accused of cheating online. He took some credit for Niemann's success when he made world's top 50, calling him his student.— Tarjei J. Svensen (@TarjeiJS) September 21, 2022

Shirov recently suggested he was suspicious of Hans cheating during an OTB Tournament in 2020. This game—almost every move is Stockfish #1— was played by Niemann during that tournament (via: The Zugzwang Blog) pic.twitter.com/kkeopYe6XD— Bed Bath & Beyond (@pabloroblesgast) September 21, 2022

LOL. I didn’t know about the Dlugy relationship. Absolutely incredible. He’s such a wildly shady character. In addition to cheating (and I suspect most people don’t know this), he’s been arrested multiple times for every financial crime imaginable.

gukesh currently #23 in the world at 2726 is also the youngest, 16 y/0, player in the top 100!
feel like he hasnt got as much hype as some of the other very young players but then he just went on an insane run recently gained 100pt in 6 months, wild

they found multiple games where hans played 100 computer perfect moves
Pretty cool analysis. TLDR: Fischer, Carlsen, Kasparov at their best played with 69-72% correlation to chess engines. Niemann played at >70% correlation in many tournaments, and 79% correlation in two tournaments in a row. https://t.co/8P3GkEQaVS— Ludwig Yeetgenstein (@yeetgenstein) September 26, 2022

actually i also learned that kasparov is a cheat and behaved like a complete dick towards a teenage girl who nearly bested him once
this is less of a surprise tho
― mark s, Sunday, 2 October 2022 13:49 (one year ago) link
yeah its lame kasparov has such a good reputation when hes a huge idiot baby whos been trying to start a war between the us and russia for the last decade+ and believes jesus was born in crimea in 1152, on the other hand he is maybe the best chess player ever, but still

I was depressed yesterday so I put on some Tim Buckley and poked around the slides. A lot of the analysis is suspect but I think the conclusion is the same if the analysis was sound: Hans cheated frequently and cheated during tournaments.
― Allen (etaeoe), Thursday, 6 October 2022 17:53 (one year ago) link
yeah seems pretty clear hans is a cheating ass
― lag∞n, Thursday, 6 October 2022 18:03 (one year ago) link
wonder what fides gonna do, i dont think they have a policy for cheating thats not at the tourneys they run, and it could be harder for them to find evidence of cheating in their tourneys since they have so many fewer games to look at, they might just say fuck him anyway tho idk

It's quite late so I am probably being dumb but does black really need to resign there? Fairly sure he's going to lose a piece no matter what but bit early to throw in the proverbial towel

I've been enjoying Tata Steel a lot - first time I've followed a chess tournie for a while. Carlsen lost 2 games in a row but seems to be back on form now.
In other news this was an interesting game from John Bartholomew - also the opponent's comments made be lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VQu33G-_ls
