What did you guys think of today's video? And who's side are you on with the new ongoing chess drama with Hans vs Magnus??

Why would any sane person defend a serial cheater? Hans claimed at Sinquefield that he only cheated twice and never in monied tournaments, whereas the Chesscom Fairplay report says he likely cheated *hundreds of times* and *in monied tournaments.* I am convinced ~95% of "Hans fans" are bots, because no rational person would support him.

I came here for the quality of the chess, because I'm an adult. Your poll raises the question: why not show the game Niemann won? You skipped right over it.

This guy, Dr. Mike, is very good at this. Not perfect, but very good. He definitely seems to be following his soul's calling by creating these videos.

...Nb8 was a little weird: because that sort of queenside pawn wrastling is characteristic of the NiD, where ...Na5 is the move in a lot of variations. With the dsb fianchettoed it makes even more sense because the two minor pieces can combine to hit white's queeside. Throw in ...Bf5 and the position is equal, but I think it's a little easier to play black's position.
