[@crew_the3rd]

Hanz caused these problems because he cheated and he had suspicious interviews. At age 12 his dad helped him cheat over the board. At age 12 and at age 16 he got caught cheating online. Investigation shows he probably cheated in 100s of online games. He admitted to cheating at 12 and 16 years old, he lies when he says it was only a few games. If anyone talks about this situation they have to hold back considerably to try to make Hanz look more innocent. Hans has no tact, Hans has no political correctness, he speaks poorly, he sucks at debating, he's cringe, he picks the wrong fights, he falls into traps, he makes offensive claims, Hanz hurts himself. Hanz is now a grown man who is clueless as to how to defend himself. Hint: stop taking about it, shut it down when it comes up, refuse to answer questions on it, don't demand apologies, move on. Hanz deserves this, not because he cheated, but because he's an idiot, then and now. Hanz still has a career. They all had mercy on him. Many in the feild of Chess would give him a lifetime ban but he got away with cheating and still has a career. Chess would like to let Hans move on with his life, keep his career, but he keeps picking a fight that he will loose.

"I WILL BEAT THESE WASHED UP OLD MEN" "all I wanted is to play against them 🥺" - Hans Smoked Niemann

[@mcomeros]

The match was a war crime. Just pure bloodbath.

[@random906]

Hans The Hollow In the halls of chess, where legends rise, Stood Hans Niemann with boastful cries. “I’ll beat Magnus, Hikaru too, The board’s my kingdom, I’ll break right through!” He strutted forth, his chest puffed wide, With nothing but empty words as his guide. “I am the greatest!” Hans declared with glee, But Hikaru smirked, as calm as the sea. The Bullet king, with hands of speed, Knew Hans would fail to plant his seed. “Your boasts are loud, but skill’s what counts, You’ll fall like pawns in quick amounts.” Hans grinned and laughed, so full of pride, “I’ve beaten champions far and wide!” “Chess speaks for itself,” he said with cheer, But his overconfidence was all too clear. As the clock began to tick, Hans’s moves were slow and thick. In 3+1, his dreams took flight- For just a second-then sank from sight. Hikaru played with ease and grace, While Hans could barely keep the pace. “I’m still warming up!” Hans tried to claim, But his game was slipping into shame. In 1+1, he fell even faster, Hikaru turned it into a disaster. “Checkmate!” Hikaru’s voice did sing, While Hans just stared, a fallen king. “What happened, Hans? Your words were strong, But on the board, you don’t belong.” “I’ll win next time!” Hans still cried, But his bravado couldn’t hide The truth that everyone now knew- Hans was all talk, his skill askew. “Oh mighty Hans,” Hikaru teased, “Your arrogance has left me pleased. You talked so big, you puffed your chest, But here you are, second best!” With every match, the gap grew wide, Hans’s ego shrunk inside. “Perhaps those tricks you’ve tried before, Couldn’t save you from this score?” And though his beads stayed far away, It wouldn’t have helped his pitiful play. Hikaru laughed, “You’ll need more than luck, To beat the Bullet king, you’re simply stuck.” Hans whimpered now, his head hung low, His empty pride, all just for show. While Hikaru, the legend, stood tall and bright, Hans’s flame flickered out of sight. So let it be told, from shore to shore, Hans’s bragging days are no more. For when you boast but lack the skill, You’ll fall like Hans, against Hikaru’s will.
