Re: Magnus Carlsen resigns against Hans Niemann after one move
#2For context, Magnus withdrew from a major tournament last month after losing to Hans. He has not made a statement, but it is understood that he suspects Hans of cheating. Hans has admitted to cheating online, though he denies cheating in person.
As more evidence comes out, it seems that Hans has cheated a lot more than he admitted, and potentially over the board as well (for example, this analysis [1] shows that he's playing at superhuman levels in some games.) This all helps Magnus's case. I think it is likely that Hans will be slowly barred, silently or openly, from tournaments and venues all over the world.

Several years ago. I think when he was 16? (Not saying that is when he cheated, but that’s when he admitted to cheating).

As someone who’s never been able to appreciate or follow sports where a machine can be an order of magnitude better than a human, I would genuinely like to understand why people are enamored about such sports. In the end it seems like brilliant minds lost in math that’s not even novel anymore.. again everyone should do what they please, but this is just an academic question from someone unable to appreciate such skills or sports.

Even if it turns out Niemann cheated, the way Carlsen is acting coy about it puts me off. The tweet was bad enough (unlike Mourinho he's clearly not in "big trouble" from his insinuation), but this resignation is such a publicity stunt.

#6Kind of a basic question but how do you cheat at chess, especially "over the board" ?

#7Interesting to see a prominent figure like Magnus acting childish. Brings them down to the level of the rest of us mortals.

Would you say it doesn't make sense to appreciate art because cameras exist?
Actually, with the advent of image generating AIs, such questions become more relevant.

Why care about racing when a motor vehicle can do travel at speed better, by that logic?

Hans as admitted to cheating on chess.com when he was 12 and 16, so not that long ago since he is only 19 right now.
