The lawsuit is alleging that he is being penalized for cheating in a game that he did not cheat.
Afaik, nobody is arguing that you can't punish somebody for breaking a rule. He even was banned in the past for cheating. However, you can't use an already punished infraction to issue a second infraction. Hans is claiming that he's been blacklisted from a bunch of tournaments as a result of a very unproven claim he cheated in the Sinquefield Cup.
- oldstrangers 4y agoExcept chess.com never claimed he cheated at the Sinquefield Cup. He's also seemingly faced zero backlash from any tournaments following Sinquefield Cup, including participating in the US Chess Championship.
