Why can't someone pull down his chess.com games (or everything available) and see if he cheated?
This is the most disappointing part.
The community doesn't seem to have the technical ability to OSINT this.
Where's an expert talking about where in the match with Magnus a computer might have been used.
4chan does better OSINT than the chess community.
People could learn a lot here by being technical rather than just drama driven.
- faeriechangling 4y agoI would argue many chess players have the ability to casually gauge cheating, but few have the background in things like statistics to really have a solid handle on the subject. So usually people leave cheat detection to the big websites. It’s a minor genre of chess video content for a savvy content creator to use their OSINT skills to detect cheating, for the viewers to marvel at the skill-less cheating, to report the player, and for everybody to marvel at the ban. The issue is that nobody can really tell if a single game was cheated on, it’s just not enough data to provide sufficient evidence of cheating. I’ve seen non-cheaters play games where every move is 100% the same as stockfish’s recommendation because the winning line was incredibly forced.
