Hans Niemann is accused of cheating in more than 100 chess games. He's playing today
October 5, 20222:37 PM ET

The trickle of information about the cheating scandal wracking elite chess turned into a deluge Tuesday night, when Chess.com said it believes Hans Niemann, a 19-year-old grandmaster, cheated in more than 100 games.

The report — which runs to 72 pages with supporting documents such as email conversations — is sending a fresh jolt through the chess world. It's intensifying interest in the U.S. Chess Championships that begin in St. Louis on Wednesday, where Niemann and 13 other players are vying for the title.

The tournament, streaming games on YouTube and Twitch, has $250,000 in prize money at stake. Play begins each day at 2 p.m. ET and will run for the next two weeks. In his first match, Niemann is slated to face 15-year-old Christopher Woojin Yoo.

When contacted by NPR, neither Niemann nor tournament organizers offered a comment on Wednesday.

It's the latest development in a scandal that has gripped people beyond the chess world since a month ago, when world champion Magnus Carlsen abruptly withdrew from a tournament after losing to Niemann and hinted at foul play. Two weeks later, Carlsen resigned a game against Niemann after one move rather than play against him again, and then accused him of cheating.

Idiot, this thread has no consistent “topic” aside from being “the longest thread”.
Possibly you can say it’s about bananas and your porn, but that’s only part of it.

What’s mostly sad is your dumb attempt to justify it as being NSFW!


As if some “scandal” involving cheating in a game makes it NSFW!
If this were true people everywhere would be fired for cruising ESPN on work computers.
Cheating and scandals are regular occurrences in pro sports.

Yet people share ‘DeflateGate’ memes via work email in a way they would never feel
comfortable sharing the pictures of scantily clad women you post here.

So yeah NSFW is a dumb reach to justify a dumb post that didn’t NEED to be justified.

There was a lot of other stuff to it, including Declan having changed his name to Feargal, and the girls all deciding to go for a swim. Meanwhile, in the real world, I hadn't had a drink since Thursday. But I swear for about two minutes when I woke up, I had a hangover,

A roof is volleyball slang for a strong aggressive blocking action made by a blocker who penetrates hands, arms and shoulders over the net to completely stop and shut down a hard hitting hitter.
