Wow.
Regan has been an active and respected member of scientific community, a lecturer and book author for a long time. If anything that adds and not takes away from his credibility. He's also the most prominent expert on cheating detection that FIDE has ever worked with and he's an authority on the matter.
Oh, and he's rated at around 2400 ELO. But I guess it's very easy to just slander him like that. Go back to reddit.
- radiator 4y agoI will quote you Fabiano Caruana, who said the following on September 22, after my previous comment: “I would take Regan’s analysis with the large grain of salt, and the reason why is not because I have any insight into his algorithm or his methods, but because I know of a case of, a very high profile case, where with absolute certainty I can say that someone was cheating in an important event. And the person was investigated and was also exonerated based on Regan’s analysis. And I am certain that there was cheating. There is no doubt in my mind that this person was cheating and they got away with it.“ So this is one more example of an academic, who is so far away from reality and practice, that real experts just ignore his opinion.
