Magnus Carlsen On Cheating In Chess (Eng Subs)

[@IrregularPineapples]

goddamn right -- this fully, absolutely without a shadow of a doubt, explains what he thinks about Hans and why he withdrew from the St Louis tournament -- and Hans fumbling post-game interviews are completely damning.

[@ponchoking55]

Here's another point no one's made yet. For Hans to have the meteoric rise in rating at such a young age does not just mean he is really good, it means he is a PRODIGY. think good will hunting. 1 in a billion. And then you watch all of hans interviews/analysis and unless you are brainwashed npc cattle you would know immediately without a shred of doubt that he cheated. This is no genius. He's not even good unless he cheats

[@runarsterdahl4592]

@@mr.brenman2132 Nobody know how. But Hans would be a lot less suspicious If he could analyze (or even understand) the lines he just played

[@truecuckoo]

Even if Hans didn’t cheat, and it was just deep lucky prep and good memorisation. Knowing that he had cheated a lot in the past online might have put Magnus at that psychological disadvantage, that he elaborated on in this old video. Maybe he went into the tournament thinking he could think clearly, and he’d be fine. But when he sat there in front of Hans he couldn’t stop thinking about it, and started reading into it, and felt he had to withdraw. I think he still should’ve talked by now though. I’m finding it very douche to not having made a statement. Just saying he doesn’t want to play players with a cheat record, because it messes with his psyche I think would be fair enough in many ways.

[@jamescates3571]

The last thing he says about strong players who work too much with computers losing some of their ability/strength because of the dependence is very important to be aware of. I work with a lot of lower rated players who study every game they play with an engine but never analyse without it. I see almost immediate improvement if I get them to break this habit. Analysis without engine first and then go back thru with engine is fine and good for improvement!

[@IrregularPineapples]

This fully and completely answers why he withdrew from the St Louis tournament -- he 100% believes Hans is cheating -- and he may very well be right. Like he says, if he was cheating, because of his skill, he would be able to cheat without anyone knowing -- because he knows how to not make it obvious. And he would only need 1-3 small hints during a game to become unbeatable. And because chess is very unorganised and invite based, the most dangerous cheaters are the good young players who are just below the elite (and thus never reaching the top and getting invites) -- who are still good enough to make their cheating very hard to spot (i.e., Hans).

[@weevilunderwood149]

Dead on. The issue is that Hans is actually quite strong. As Hikaru has said as well, it's just one or two critical junctures that you'd need a hint and yet that's often difference between winning and loosing in classical chess.

[@jedidiahhuang1362]

[@ixinor]

You must be pretty inexperienced at life if you think cheating isnt possible, anywhere. There's plenty of books of how people cheated in the most creative ways in any game or event. Heck illusionists demonstrate many creative ways to help at cheating. The Army has plenty of info on how to cheat. And so on. Time you start researching before concluding something you've no experience nor expertise at.

[@09h13]

This gives an interesting insight to the whole cheating allegations. Hans is innocent until proven guilty, point blank. But I think it's safe to say, as Magnus explains here, that he saw something in the way Hans plays that didn't sit well with him, but it's hard to prove someone's cheating in high level chess when all you need is a signal or two to have a advantage. And while I do think Magnus could have handled this sitatuation better, I can't quite understand people calling him childish or saying he doesn't know how to lose - I mean, he lost to a 16 year old (Hans is 19) and life went on. It doesn't seem to be about losing or anything other than a suspicion of foul play. Anyway... let's see how all of this unfolds. Here's hoping all of this is just a huge misunderstanding.

[@das6109]

For people who don't who rather read the interview this is basically it (will occasionally be grammatically a bit off since I just picked up the long video this clip was pulled from and formatted their subs). Magnus [M]: You had that situation with the blind chess player, who eventually was banned because of cheating. The first time for two years, then for life when he was caught cheating the second time. It became a big thing in the media, in the beginning... about his results. I was like hm!, this was exciting. But then I watched some of his matches, and saw that oh!... Wolfgang [W]: What did you see? Could you see it was... M: You see inhuman decisions and inhuman precision for that level. You notice that pretty fast. And then it's like... There were surprisingly many, even chess players, not among the best though, who defended him a lot. And there was a lot of local support and many commentary fields. W: It was a good story. M: Yes, a good story. People said others were envious and this is just a witch hunt and so on. And we don't believe in the experts who say this can't be for real. And this makes me think that how often is it you see such things? Because you don't want to just believe that those who talk about this know best. At least in situations where there should be an objective truth. You want to believe in good stories. But in this case people were completely fooled, and many people even refused to listen to people who actually know what they are talking about. And who could see right away that this can't be real. How often does it it happen that you... One simply get fed with things that is just nonsense. W: With inhuman move do you mean that you see a move and there and then find it inhuman. It just can't be for real. M: It doesn't give... It doesn't follow a logic consistent with the other moves this person made, like a great chess player would have made. You have got the correct answer, but it's just taken out of the blue. You can't see the process behind and then you immediately think that there is something fishy going on. Of course you need more examples to confirm that. In this case he was invited to take a test supervised by the Norwegian Chess Federation. and I supported that there should be big leeway, and if they had considered that his playing strength was about 1600 -1700, while his performance level was at 2-3 or 2-4 level, I would have said it was unlikely that he had made those moves, but it is still within what can happen. you can get... Doubt will benefit you. What happened with the test was that it was considered that he hardly could play chess at all. W: What do these people actually think? Because there have been several of those cases. M: The problem in chess is that those who are revealed are those who do it obviously and those who do it in a stupid way. W: They think they have add in some mistakes here and there to... M: The problem for this guy was that he wasn't good enough to understand what's... W: What looks most logical or human. M: If I had... If I had started cheating People wouldn't have noticed If I had done it in a clever way, I'm convinced that people wouldn't have noticed it. I had just needed to cheat once or twice during the match. I wouldn't even needed to get suggested a move. I had just needed to get the info that there is one move that is better than the others. or just a tip about that here you can win or here you need to be careful so you don't lose. That's the only things I would have needed to... ...to become almost unbeatable. And that's a bit scary actually, because you have especially the online chess. There are plenty of things done to prevent cheating, but ultimately in the tournaments I play, it won't work if you don't trust your opponent. You have to basically feel that people don't have enough incentive to cheat. Because if they are reveled, their career is over. Chess is so poorly organized and mostly based on invitations. And those who cheat won't get invitations. W: Don't you think that some just want to feel a taste of meeting the great well-known players and just... They have probably nothing to loose. That are just averaged chess players who want some time in the limelight and have some fun? M: Those are the dangerous ones. Those who are good players. They have tried but they haven't reached the top. They are the ones who have the incentive. But they have been only a few in the tournaments that have been online. It has mostly been establish top players and young players on their way up who haven't had these incentives. But if you have... I would say that it is definitely a challenge in chess with many who have a strong incentives to cheat. And if you do it in a smart way, it is very, very difficult to reveal it. I don't want to spread any rumors but it wouldn't surprise me at all if many have cheated even in big tournaments and haven't been revealed. W: Do you know if you have met many who have cheated and have been revealed? Either you have revealed them yourself, or they have been revealed later? M: I have played against random people online and there I can eventually notice if they cheat. At the board I have never experienced it. Never anyone who has been revealed. And no one specifically suspected. You just have to tear away from it, because if you sit there thinking that your opponent may be cheating, you have already a big psychical disadvantage that makes it difficult o play. W: I remember from playing chess when I was little As soon as I used the chess computer to help me with a move or got a support move or whatever it's called. I no longer had any plan to move on. I was dependent on getting more advice. I had no plan or anything. In the minute I used the help function I became helpless. I played like an idiot. You become addicted...You don't get any style of playing after cheating. M: You can say that. And it is also like that for those who have helped me, especially the elder ones in my team. They can't play chess anymore, because they are so used to work with analyze and computers. They are good with ideas and getting help from the computers for that But to play themselves they end up with: "I need help!". They are used to come up with an idea and then they are guided further on by the computers. It's a bit of a parallel to... we get so addicted to social media and computers also on other areas, so we stop thinking ourselves there too.

The investment can be your retirement plan or your future plan, whatever you want, but the most important thing is that you have an investment that is worthwhile.

This is such bullshit. Even a lower rated player using computer assistance preparation can make engine like moves and sometimes they make a move out of their own thinking or game stress or they just don't know what move to make and the move just so happens to be an engine chess move. Dumb luck. At the end of the day you need proof not speculation or suspicious moves or simply your opinionated paranoia.

[@odysseas573]

"Speculation" There is no speculation. Hans has cheated in the past, more than 2 times as we currently now. Once you lose the trust, as Magnus said, yoi cant play chess with that person "Paranoia" Maybe a little, but can you blame him or any other top 10 player for that matter? Chess has been their life since their early adolescence. And there comes a guy with a known history of cheating just climbing up the world rankings like it is nothing. Wouldn't you feel cheated? I am not even going to address your earlier points about lower rated players being able to play a computer move because of theory and by pure luck. I would guess you have not been playing chess for very long. Cheers

What does this have to do with the current situation where he's accusing someone of OTB cheating? His game against HN had a few inaccuracies from both players and his own play was certainly middling at best by his standards.

Its an interview from last year it has nothing to do with current situation..it's called KZbin algorithm

[@bobon123]

Do you realize that this video is one year older than the current situation? Why would you expect to be related to it? Said so, Magnus never said Hans cheated against him, and I do not understand why the debate is about finding evidence that Hans cheated against Magnus. As Magnus said, Chess is based on trust. If you start to consider that your opponent might be cheating, it is not chess anymore. It is embarrassing that Hans was invited to a tournament since he cheated at least twice, promised that he would never cheat again, and then cheat some more all the way to few days before the tournament. It is not possible to trust him, and when he plays a perfect match and later is not able at all to explain his moves it is not possible not to doubt a well known convicted cheater. He did that to himself by cheating dozens of times.

[@jedidiahhuang1362]

that's the whole point of the interview. Magnus is saying that most people get caught because they cheat stupidly. But if a top-level player cheated smart, they'd be practically uncatchable and unbeatable.

@@user-ll4cu5dh3b We are talking about chess experts here. When Magnus says that experts agreed the guy in question was cheating, it comes from their analysis of the moves in his games.

@@user-ll4cu5dh3b Proving a negative is not possible - I would not say that Hans is definitely not cheating; nor would I say that Magnus has definitely not cheated. Now name me a single expert who has said that Hans definitely is cheating. In fact, name me a single expert who has said they have suspicions of cheating based on an analysis of the Sinquefield Cup games. Hikaru went out of his way to say that the games themselves are not suspicious, even while milking the drama for subs by blowing up other things that have little to no bearing on the actual allegation. Several others have done real analysis on the games and concluded that there was no cheating. I have seen no analysis from anyone, whether player, mathematician or just internet troll, that suggests there is anything suspicious about the games. You are making the allegation - present your evidence.

[@user-ll4cu5dh3b]

@@zelandakhniteblade5436 Well, no, it's not a negative claim because you made a positive claim in your first statement; I'm asking for proof. Name a single expert who had said: "Actually there was no cheating in this game." You are, quite literally, arguing that all the experts are CONFIDENT that Hans didn't cheat. Of course no one thinks the games themselves are suspicious... Only a naïve dunce would use the best engine moves at every single moment since all an expert would need to do to successfully cheat is use the engine in a critical spot and it would be almost impossible to spot. What was concerning was how Niemann couldn't explain why he made his critical moves in either his Magnus and Alireza games, and for his Alireza game, couldn't even identify why his piece sacrifice was a threat. That's where the suspicions started piling, especially with Magnus' withdrawal. Hikaru, Daniel Naroditsky, and Eric Hansen, arguably 3 of the largest streamers in the chess community have OPENLY stated that Hans' post-game analysis was suspicious. In other words, the games themselves weren't suspicious, but the fact that Hans couldn't justify his moves was suspicious.

[@nicholaswideman6658]

Some of the greatest games of excellent precision chess played by some of the greatest players ever must have been cheating since they were so precise, inhuman one might say. How is it inhuman? all legal moves in a chess are possible to be played by a human or a computer engine. Bobby fischer played games that were a model for precision as quoted by the late great grandmaster Larry Evans. Bobby fischer didn't live in the time of computer assistance preparation for chess. If Hans cheated then prove it. Otherwise you have no case just false and hallow accusations.

[@mbagamingwala4581]

Bobby Fischer had an idea behind his every move that he played unlike Mr. Hans Niemenn who brings a move out of nowhere and then backs it up by saying it’s obvious to play that move . But didn’t have any idea behind that move. And whatever his analysis were in the Alireza’s game were absolutely trash and 2-3 move blunders. Don’t ever try to compare bobby fischer with this cheater . You fool . Wait and watch and you yourself will accept that he was cheating. But it takes time for a weak brain to process this much info at once. It will take time and you’ll realise that

[@peristiloperis7789]

Did you understand what Magnus said?

[@wcanard2894]

Way to completely miss the point, go you. In highly highly prepped lines, it's possible for humans to achieve near perfect accuracy, because it's closer to a memory puzzle you need to fill out than coming up with the next line of moves, but once you are pulled out of theory and your prep, you have to rely much more on your own thinking, and no human can achieve engine level of accuracy there. Humans having played games with very high level of accuracy does not mean every others who does so is not a cheater, that's a false equivalence. You also have to understand that the players are that level have such a deep grasp of the game they can intuitively feel when something isn't right. Someone who plateau'd at 2450 for 2 years and suddenly gained 150 points in less than a year out of the blue is very very out of the norm, especially at the end of their teenager years and even more so at that level, because the higher you go the harder it is to make any significant progress. It's not the progression itself that's strange, it's the context around it. The whole story about going hermit mode to study chess is also very dubious sounding. Don't act like there is nothing to base that type of thinking on, while it isn't impossible for any of this to happen individually, all combined? Starts to paint a certain picture.

Magnus soils himself with these accusations. He can't admit he was beaten by a player a couple of hundred points below him. And why he can't bear it is because he wants to be the only one in the world with a 2900 rating. That loss was a crushing blow. And look at his reasoning. A good cheater can't be detected, so Niemann must have cheated. Now Magnus just keeps digging his hole deeper. The truth is none of today's players could have beaten Fischer back in the day. Today, they rely on engines. And the person who can remember the engine moves the best has a better chance to win, in certain situations. I think that's what happened here. And there are plenty of other examples of a top player getting beyond the engine's moves and being unable to win in the middle or end game.
