Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

MODERATORS
Why did anyone even listen to this bullshit. This must be the biggest case of bullying of modern times.
From these, many people think he cheated. The vibrating butt plug is unlikely, but what is more likely is that Magnus' prep got leaked and Hans was able to hyper-prepare for a specific line of play.
He admitted to cheating online when he was a child. Magnus is clearly just salty someone younger is better than him and is trying to humiliate him to hide his own embarrassment.
Yes, after which it was proven that he cheated later than he admitted and more often than he admitted.
Can you link to that please, it says the opposite in the article?
It's mentioned in the chess.com report: https://www.chess.com/blog/CHESScom/hans-niemann-report
It says in the report there is no evidence of him cheating at all, how is this proven?
The first page of the report literally states: "We present evidence in this report that Hans likely cheated online much more than his public statements suggest", and you're trying to tell me that the report says there is no evidence of cheating at all?
Did you not open the link? Or are you Hans himself? If you're trying to deny allegations, at least read the first page.
Yep, I am Hans, well foiled.
On page 3: "Despite the public speculation on these questions, in our view, there is no direct evidence that proves Hans cheated at the September 4, 2022 game with Magnus, or proves that he has cheated in other OTB games in the past."
(I missed that OTB means on the board).
But regardless, there is no concrete proof as you are suggesting, the report is speculation based on other player styles. As they say themselves, it's very difficult to know whether younger players may have learnt chess playing against AI and developed styles to match that.
This doesn't make it less ridiculous to claim the report contains no evidence of Hans cheating more frequently and more recently than he admitted. It's not definitive proof, but it's pretty darn likely. That's the neat thing about statistics: even if you can't prove a single case definitively, you can make likely inferences.
They state:
I'm sure you'll understand that I trust chess.com a lot more than you.
You said:
"Yes, after which it was proven that he cheated later than he admitted and more often than he admitted."
This is what I am disputing. It hasn't been proved.
If chess.com feels safe enough to use confident language, I do too.
They aren't...
