The article somewhat leaves the matter open, but I think that's unfair. The guy may well have played chess when he was younger, but that he would be a world-class player despite being virtually unknown is the extraordinary claim here, and hence has the burden of proof.
As others have said the "explanations" are also comically weak. Playing against bots does not make you play like a bot, he's not the first player to practice chess against the computer.
- neaden 6y agoYeah, this is not at all ambiguous if you know anything about chess and cheating, this person was straight up cheating and is trying to cover it up. There is no need for a rematch like some are suggesting, this is like if some random person claimed that they ran a 2 hour Marathon, you don't need to have proof to know it's BS.
