Chess.Com/WSJ: Niemann has cheated over 100 times in past 5 years

Sure, Hans.

How if metal detector searched

How?

There have also been many analyses of his moves compared to chess engines and his questionable games have been pretty much engine perfect. He just needs to come clean at this point..

Yeah

Prove it!

It's been 2 years because he stopped doing online games in order to dedicate himself to OTB playing to prove himself after he was caught and admitted to cheating online. In other words, he took the 2 years to perfect his method of cheating for OTB playing.

You know he's admitted to cheating online, right? He just didn't admitted to how many times he cheated online.

The only way for him to come clean is with Ex Lax and Prune Juice.

Then the proof will be in the pudding, in a manner of speaking.

The way I would cheat at chess in person is to have a dental implant with a completely passive attenna that just picks up a certain radio frequency and then plays that as sound by bone conduction, very similar to how some people with dental fillings say they can hear radio stations. You would the just need an accomplice watching the game with a smartphone and broadcasting on the frequency with a small radio. The metal detectors and EM detectors they scanned him with would be useless to pick up this passive cheating device because it emits nothing. And dental fillings are so common, they are not going to knock his teeth out.

Wow.

Some people really don't recognize their own lack of understanding.

Not-Premeditated doesn't mean it's an accident. It just means it wasn't a calculated ahead of time move.

For example, you go out to the bar and some guy starts something with you. Mocking you. Giving you crap. Getting in your face.

So, you take a swing at him.

Was that premeditated. Obviously not. You didn't intend to hit anybody prior to being in the bar.

Was it intention? Obviously yes. You didn't accidentally hit the guy.

Generally, we consider this worse because people understand the human component of emotions. Getting really mad at a friend in the heat of an argument and lashing out at them with hurtful words is ugly behavior. The usual response is usually "Okay man, wasn't cool you did that. Probably shouldn't have. But you were really mad, he was being kinda of a douche. Okay we get it but still, over the top.

Pre-meditation is when your friend does the same thing, but then you go off and spend several days in a calm state planning on how you can maximize their pain with whatever hurtful things you can think of to say.

It's worse, because you're in a calm, regulated, maximally logical state and yet are still making the conscious choice to act in a harmful (irreciprocal) way.

Any analysis of the classic game Magnus lost to this guy?

He had (Magnus) lost in over 50 games of classic chess and was what, rated 300 points over the kid.

Experts can determine if the kid made too many perfect (per the engines) moves.

If it is determined that he very likely cheated, then we can see if we can determine how he pulled it off

So you think someone can cheat without planning to?

Seems awful silly to say that but whatever

How would that tell u what move to make

The accomplice would just put what he sees from the livestream of the board into a chess engine on his smartphone and then use the handheld radio to broadcast what the next movie would be either as audio, Morse code, or whatever signs. The accomplice doesn't even have to be nearby if he uses HAM radios with some power. The tooth implant or filling would just play the signal back as bone conduction sound that only he can hear.

That's not necessarily true. In fact probably the biggest expert at chess cheating that is hired to investigate such questionable games has concluded that he did not cheat in his victories over Magnus.

Is Hans Niemann cheating? - World renowned expert Ken Regan analyzes

@Chessbase

It is the story that refuses to die, and with the renewed silent protest by World Champion Magnus Carlsen it is little wonder too. Could he be justified in these dramatic gestures? The world's greatest expert on cheating dete...

"My system deliberately does not use specific chess knowledge, it's all based on the quantitative data from the computer's evaluations of the moves transplanted into a utility function, which is then fed into a predictive analytic model that really works in a broadly similar way to how economists base predictive analytical models on utility functions."

What in God's name does that mean?

Exactly the guy whose job it is to figure this stuff out and who has no bias says he's not so that's his opinion I'll go with until more evidence is presented!

I've also wondered about using a dental implant for this. Also, as Magnus and many others have discussed, a relatively strong GM wouldn't even need any specific moves to be transmitted from an engine or collaborator. If, just once or twice during the entire game, the player receives a simple signal that a critical position has been reached, or a simple indication that one stands better or worse in a particular position, the effect on game results and performance ratings can be huge.
