Hi Hans! Keep up the good work!

More power to your (chess) elbow GM Hans. Much respect, and loving your attacking style from Iceland.

Bzzz Bzzz Bzzz ?

​@@Klara906090lame lame lame?

@@JakeLian cheating is lame , you're right

Because he cheats online

Accept he is better ​@@ballsackery

​@@ballsackery proff of cheating

No proff of cheating

Kramnik only accuses Hikaru nowadays, he met hans in reallife and played some games of chess offline - now he never talk aboput him

haha this is comedy gold

That's because they are indeed facing a computer.

Hans is so good, people started to think he's a computer LOL!

@@ChessKingsTV777 He's so good he didn't even need to play by himself many times. He's so good he was actually using computer assistance to win elo and money. Good thing he wasn't playing by his own skill then, cause he's so good he'd had probably played even better.

​@@ChessKingsTV777Do you mfs even watch chess? His records in recent fide championships was horrible

@@dracarys8609 Well, almost all of them. He plays almost all tournaments at a 2300-2400 level, but recently he did play one where there were no anti-cheating measures, and he performed at a 2950 level! Also, the organizers said they had multiple reasons to suspect he was cheating, but I'm sure it's all a coincidence.

haha nice hope you enjoy!

@@epicchess2021 I always do. Keep that fire content coming!!!

this is what it is. If you watch Hikaru vs bots videos, he locks down everything and waits. It's a subtle move by Hikaru, not noticed by people who dont watch his content, but to me at least, it was super apparent

This made me laugh hard xD ty

Does that mean he is sending msg that he is playing with a bot

Exactly.

Thanks a lot! Glad to hear

He got shared rank 16th place in world rapid championship and shared rank 28th in blitz OTB.

@@OlofLindberg He got 39th place at the world blitz. what are you talking about? Ranked #92 in world but somehow jumps to #3 online? lol....

@@RichACBlues 28th - 39th all had 12,5 points at world blitz. Top players like Pragg, Gukesh and Anish Giri got same amount of points as Hans - 12.5. Do you consider them bad?

@@OlofLindberg Hans finished 39th world blitz champs. Gukesh and Prag are known for not being good at blitz. Anish I never see playing online. But Hans is ranked #3 in the world in online blitz!! hahahahah. right...... stop being naive bud.

@@RichACBlues You are clueless.

Now why would a 2700 player maintain his 2700 rating and then maintain his 2700 rating for another year, then maintain... This is beyond sad to see people think that all GMs remain at exactly the same Elo and play exactly like the Elo suggest for every game.

@@scottekoontz consistency is what separates pros from amateurs.

@@scottekoontz They don’t remain on the same level, but there isn’t a single other GM in the world who vacillates between 2300-2950, because even the ones who cheat are aware enough not to be so blatant at it. Niemann does it because he’s really not that good, so he doesn’t know how to disguise his cheating very well, and because his fan base is 13 years old, so he can do that to draw some more pre-teen viewers to his streams, where he makes his money.

haha nice thanks a lot for watching

watching him play i didn't see anything wrong, and was so happy to win

He completely blundered around 9 minutes. Luckily Hikaru trusts him a lot 😂

Blitz and classic are different things

And he TROUNCED players at another tournament that you clearly missed. He did so well the Hans Haters Club had to issue their "he done cheated, I knows it" proclamation.

@@scottekoontz Yeah, I don't hate him, I don't hate anyone, I just mentioned his most recent tournament. All the best.

Epic Chess has shown us quite a few games where Niemann played badly. Niemann - Quparadze is the funniest. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e7OSqpilqtyWYYU.html

​@ Hans was only number 39 in the FIDE World Blitz Chess Championship 2023 so I was not impressed with Hans' results in that tournament. Titled Tuesday Weekly Chess is also known for having many cheaters. Caruana has said this: "When we spoke to Kramnik he estimated that 25% of titled players in Titled Tuesday or online chess are cheating. I would guess it is much higher than that. I think it is probably over half [of titled players] who at least very sporadically [cheat]". When someone who has cheated before in online tournaments like Hans and he knows that Titled Tuesday is full of cheaters, it can be tempting to cheat a little sporadically yourself. I would never trust Hans as a previously caught cheater playing in an online tournament he knows is full of cheaters it can be tempting to go back to his old sins.

Yeah agreed!

Always when Hans plays chess he buzzes with excitement :)

haha thanks a lot I'll take that, I've loved Jerry's videos for years

Quite the ass'umption.

Nice conspiracy theory, but Elon Musk was the one who got the whole world thinking Hans had an implant.

Very punny. You saying HN likes "open" games? And which HN? Hikaru or Hans?

Does he? OK. Thanks.

@@scottekoontz Yep anytime brother. I got your back

We were all young once.

Is he? Wow.

haha nice!

SO when he trounces OTB you write... what exactly?

Esports have been dead for almost 30 years especially in the west for these reasons. My biggest gripe as a low level player is that they never do anything about multiple account use which undermines the point of an mmr. I was hoping chess would be the first gaming site to take responsibility and aggressive actions like online poker. But it seems they dropped the ball. I myself was defending hans because I didn't like what Magnus did, but now I regret it. They should have taken him all the way to court.

@@scottekoontz thats the point. he has been playing bad otb while playing amazing online. Which doesn't make sense.

@@cooloutac So your point is that he can trounce the competition OTB but you're not going to mention it? Neat. You make so much sense.

@@scottekoontz You think because he did well at some tournament noones heard of that had no anti cheating measures, while ignoring the fact he gets smashed at all the more recent and most prestigious events including the world blitz, proves his online performance? That makes you suspicious bud. You're in denial.

You don't need a lot of money for the computing power, Stockfish will demolish anyone in Blitz even if ran on a potato PC, the difficulty would come from the need of software that detects moves & provides a tactical overlay to speed up the cheating process. (not saying that he cheated here, just that it wouldn't be very difficult to do, even I could probably code this)

@@conjurermast Stockfish also needs some time for a deep analysis.

@@larryd9577 Yes, but it does not need to do deep analysis to perform above Magnus's level.

would you have the link or date?

thanks for watching!

Huh, what are you talking about?

@@Joshwaheazo years ago pro players would prove engines wrong in some cases. Fabiano talked about this with levitov chessworld. Engines get more advanced as time goes on. So do ways to cheat without detection, like making humanlike moves. Its the same for aimbots now in fps games. same logic.

@@Joshwaheazohe’s living in his delusional world where hans can only win by engines 😂 too much gothamchess for you

@@reconnaisance he can probably win without an engine from time to time but he can also win with an engine among other things, and he did plenty of times ;)

@@reconnaisance its delusional to think a guy who is ranked #92 in the world. who currently played terribly in world blitz finishing 40th. at the same time shoots to #3 online? hahahaha. try to convince me mouse movements and a 2d board make all the difference in the world. hahaha. speaking of delusional. smh....

Except thats not true though

Blitz is another thing

OTB Niemann = trouncing all in a tournament you forgot about

You're boring.

A tournament you forgot about cause its not a memorable huge tournament has lax anti cheating measures and he was able to cheat@@scottekoontz

I wouldn't single out Niemann here. In this day and age, it must be possible for a microscopic, undetectable receiver to be implanted somewhere in a player's ear / skull / wherever. Link this to the most powerful AI / chess engine and every player can potentially masquerade as the best chess player of all time, whether that's online or over the board. It's sad to say, but with the potential fame and fortune, someone eventually is bound to try that.

Still waiting for evidence 😂😂😂

Why do you need so much evidence? He was caught cheating twice. That's what he does, it's probably an addiction. His delusional self probably thinks he's the one making the moves. Kind of sad, considering I have no doubts he can play a good game. But I doubt he's on their level. I don't need that much evidence. If he was truly at their level, then guess what? That would show itself a whole lot more often than it does. And so far, it hasn't. There's your evidence. You just don't want to look at it. That's fine too, but one day, he's going to get caught again. And then what do you say? You knew it all along? No you didn't, because you don't know it now. @@misterleegains4020

@@misterleegains4020 The evidence is him admitting to cheating.

Sleep more! Not even joking either lol

hahahaha

You dont even know how to play chess

So why does he often do incredibly well OTB? Any ideas? Bueller? Bueller?

@@scottekoontz do you mean *not do well. Cause he is ranked #92 offline bud. finished only 40th at the recent world blitz. didn't do well at tata steel. I mean if he was actually playing well otb it might be believable but I think the kid is tired of getting smashed otb that he couldn't help himself online. After his settlement I guess he feels untouchable. The website really should of took it all the way to court, because now it will never be seen as a serious gaming platform.

@@RichACBlues Hey budmeister. You mean TROUNCED the field at Tournament of Peace 2023. What's that bud? You don't follow chess? Figures.

@@scottekoontz Did they have the same anti cheating measures there? Sounds like they didn't lol. He is ranked #92 in the world budmeister. finished 40th at world blitz recently. It doesn't make sense.

what kind of software blunders?

Bro if u analyse the game Hans made mistakes hikaru just blunder and was not able to use that Hans played a fair game Hikaru played bad

Sure fuking nobody anything else?

Ya most titled players don't even play online and I think pretty soon many of the top 10 will not.

@@PS-pb3qy of course Hikaru plays bad, if opponent plays top moves within milliseconds, with 4 seconds on the clock.

probably ran out of batteries.

@@flyingturtle22 We get it. We get it. You can Billy probably laughed for a good 10 minutes in study hall talking about this.

or in the world blitz where he finished 40th. Guy is ranked #92 in the world but #3 online. The site is a mockery now. They should of went all the way to court.

Or in the Tournament of Peace. No wait, he was accused of cheating because he did play so well in that tournament. Nevermind, we have to stick with games and tournaments where he did not do well, and ignore the simple fact that this happens to all players of all sports.

@@RichACBluesDoes every top 100 player on the board have an online account?

​@@RichACBlues What about Narodisky? Is he also cheating?

@@sihlemtolo4747 yes absolutely. all the smurfing streamers cheat. all have extraordinary performances online. Chessbrah, bok, bortnyk, Minh lei, even HIkaru. Name a smurf and they cheat. I think they feel pressured to keep up a certain performance for their viewers and develop bad habits because they have exceptions to cheat for streaming entertainment.

he finished 40th in the world blitz and is ranked #92 in FIDE world ranking. its absurd that he is somehow #3 online lol.

@@RichACBlues shhh , you might awaken the Hans horde

@@RichACBlues There is something to be said for how memory works based on people being in a familiar surroundings. If he learned and practiced chess online then he is probably going to go better online and worse on a board. Kind of like how if you practice something with music you will remember it better when playing that music. Or if you always study sitting down then your memory will be worse if you are laying down or standing. I'd imagine that the difference between 40th and 3rd is remembering a single move further ahead, or being able to think out your moves just a fraction of a second ahead each time. And I could easily see someone that is always looking at a digital chessboard mentally being thrown off the tiniest bit when they are looking at actual chess pieces.

@@michaelmurray6197 The guy plays more OTB tournaments than anyone else. And even if all he did was play online, you are not going to be THAT much better. Its absurd.
