Kept hearing things like Magnus owes an explanation... Like how stupid can you be... Why would he give Hans neiman the power to sue him after Magnus accused him of cheating... Because that's exactly what he did.. End of story.. And people want to tap dance around that and make a mountain of a molehill "what did he mean" "what in the world is going on" " this is so bad, magnus is wromg for this"..

Basically Hans has 9 100% games and 24 above 90% in the last 3 years. Magnus has only had 3 100% games in his entire career. Hans had a 6 tournament run with an average engine move better than Bobby Fischer's famous 20 game win streak. This is a feat that neither Fischer, Magnus or Kasparov accomplished at their peak. So either he suddenly became the greatest player of all time after turning 17, or he is cheating. You decide.

I don't understand why you wouldn't capture the g3 pawn at 6:03. I gave this position to Stockfish and it says it's the top move. My rating is barely 1000 and I was shocked that this wasn't played as I thought it's a no-brainer. Also weird that Antonio didn't even mention this, since the g3 pawn is the reason why the white king is trapped.

[@subbedgames6004]

Prob didn't wanna give up material, via knight taking his rook

[@fugglesme4186]

Not sure what stockfish you are using or what depth you are running it, but running stockfish 15 at depth of 20 or more the top three moves are Rf4, Rf5 and Nc2. Qxg3 is losing immediately to Nxf1.

[@MegaSahil009]

@@fugglesme4186 Exactly my thoughts. Qxg3 seems to be the best move! and if kight to Nxf1, then either king captures knight or knight D2 captures on f1

Bb3 Qc5+ After running it up until depth 47 (stopped after 11 hours lol) it seems that Qxg3 is only the 2nd best move and gives -0.9 advantage for black.

[@Italiafani]

@@subbedgames6004 You get the rook back with Qg8+, though. Seems like a free knight for black after that (Nxd2), but after Bc2 and Rd1, black's knight is trapped. So white actually wins a pawn in this line.

I noticed this theme in many of Hans' games this year: throwing his pawns and knights down the king side with sometimes brilliant, sometimes botched results. That's very HUMAN, to play on a theme in game after game.

[@Pasharamus]

As Mihhail Tal said "There are two types of sacrifice: the correct ones and mine." He was lucky there were no engines back then, he would most certainly be called a cheater since he had unorthodox style by the standards of that era. Of course you'd have to cherry-pick mostly his wins since his losses were often as spectacular as his wins. You could even come to a conclusion that he very often played "above his level", if you consider him at his worst as his level.

exactly, people are so braindead for real. just because magnus said it, they would believe everything as if he literally is the god, like, why can't there be any possibility of anyone else being better of a player than magnus? "if someone is better than magnus he's cheating, let's fuck his career" SMH. this scandal made me believe how stupid and toxic these chess fans/nerds are, they pretend to love the game and humiliate another player as if he's not a human being and would never be feeling disappointed. even though the anti-cheating department confirmed so many times that he didn't cheat at all since he's playing professionally people will still speak shit outta their mouths because they know nothing more else than that. people just don't wanna accept that magnus did this outta frustration. and that there can be a player higher than him.

At the start of all this drama, I thought how the hell can he cheat, and that it was all sour grapes on Magnus's part. But chess speaks for itself, Hans playing better than Fisher, Kasparov, and Magnus, out of the blue. No way, it takes years to climb to that level.

[@ienjoyapples]

I feel like everyone initially jumped on the "magnus is just butthurt" bandwagon, but it didn't make sense to me. Magnus has lost gracefully to many young players, and even praised them, like Esipenko last year. He's not the most humble guy (neither were Fischer or Kasparov), but he's always been a good sportsman. He also has a better understanding than most of us patzers of what humans and engines are capable of. I trust Magnus's assessment over the downvote brigade on r/chess.

[@dariogreggio7981]

hans games were analyzed eith more engines than Fischer's, Magnus', Kasparov's etc so the accuracy is affected you can't make these comparisons

Ever since the advent of chess engines, there has been a shift in the thinking and teaching of chess. I feel that going forward we will find player moves align with chess engine moves more and more often over time. This may not be an indication of cheating, but rather the evolution of the chess player in general.

[@pascal6871]

One argument for this is also that Stockfish mostly won just by overwhelming computation power that a human can't possibly emulate but the more eccentric playstyle of neural net engines is absolutely something a human can adapt to their own game.

Yea you’re absolutely correct. The difference is the players who will play very similar to chess engines will be able to elaborate on why they made moves. Hans does not demonstrate a 2700 level understanding of chess.
