I love the aggressively ignorant takes people feel compelled to make on this topic because they're coming from a place of emotion rather than understanding or common sense.
The only thing that will happen to Hans is that he will lose his career and fade into oblivion. Alternatively, he will go the Lance Armstrong route, confess to everything with Oprah, and redeem himself as a decent chess player that streams professionally.
- omegalulw 4y agoI don't know if this guy really cheated or not, but from my glance through I don't see even an explanation of the mechanism he would use to cheat OTB. But this is a cry wolf situation - I would be surprised if there isn't some terms or condition that allows chess.com to ban known cheaters esp from a tourney with such a big prize.
- SilverBirch 4y agoI think it's a fools errand to figure out how he cheated over the board. Small electronic device in a shoe or belt? Someone relaying instructions to him via blinked morse code in the room? At best you're going to suggest something that can't be proven, at worst you're going to suggest something that can, and therefore hurt your accusations.
