                While I don't doubt Niemann's cheated (Carlsen's suspicion that he's cheated more times than he's admitted to feels likely to me), while reading the latest Guardian piece (which mentions the Chess.com report referred to in ursus's post immediately above this one) it does occur to me that it's worth mentioning, if only in passing, that Chess.com's cheating detection tools are far from the all-seeing, all-knowing authority they're being depicted as. Our own ad hoc and a mate of mine who used to join us for our OTF chess tournaments have both been banned from Chess.com after the website found they'd been cheating, and neither of them had actually cheated. I think I'd want a less slapdash sort of authority deciding things at the top of a sport I was playing professionally, on balance.

                  In the article I read on the chess.com report it points out that a number of grandmasters had been accused of cheating by chess.com and had confessed. What it didn't say is that when chess.com accuses you of cheating your options are to be banned for life or confess. There is no opportunity to argue your innocence. The algorithm has decided you cheated and if you don't "confess" you stay banned. This (staying banned) is less of an issue for me or for Sam's mate, than it is for GMs I presume.

                    Interesting interview with Maxim Dlugy (named by Carlsen as Niemann's mentor) on the case, and the role of chess.com (amongst other things) https://www.spiegel.de/international...=1665658953861

                            The longer this goes on, the more I think it could just be that people have jumped to the conclusion that Niemann is an evil bastard, when the truth is, he's a bit of a dick and nothing more.
