However, re "Since then, a former World Champion published an hour long video, and accused Hikaru Nakamura of cheating." see https://www.chess.com/blog/VladimirKramnik/informational

#3Hikaru talking about the cheating allegation against him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zm2R--_fBj0
I'll add that he live streamed the tournament he was accused of cheating in. If you've ever watched how fast he moves and quite often pre-moves & talks through his strategy as he goes, it'd be very surprising to see that he cheated (and I don't even know how he'd go about doing so - he's faster than the engines!).

#5Hmm it's a little odd - he says there isn't persistent cheating, but that's in a world where chess.com bans people all the time for cheating.
So what he's saying is the chess.com anti cheat techniques are effective (for now), at least with respect to this specific tournament.

Kramnik has gone off the deep end.
The "statistics" he is using make zero sense and whenever someone tried to counter him with actual mathematics he would just delete the comments.

Yes and furthermore anyone who attempts to offer a rebuttal to his argument has their post summarily deleted. A number of working statisticians have shown his arguments to be baseless yet he continues to stick his fingers in his ears and cry “Nya Nya Nya!”
I have no idea why he’s doing this!

#10Shameless plug: f you're looking for a similar way to compare your online rating with the FIDE rating, take a look at my project: https://www.chessmonitor.com/
Like the author, I also use regression, but extended to non-title players. More information: https://www.chessmonitor.com/blog/2023-elo-calculation
