If having things shoved up your butt while playing chess is cheating then I guess I’ve always cheated at chess. 

Nowthis?

Magnus Carlsen resigns after two moves against Hans Niemann in the Julius Baer Generation Cup today :

Chess world is starting to turn on him.  Top comment in one of the largest chess forums, which is typically very pro-Magnus, is "Magnus is acting like a little bitch."

Anything from Nakamura should be treated with extreme skepticism. He's a tool.

So he has zero proof but just didn't like getting beat by this particular kid, and is blaming the tournament overseers for his loss.   Sounds a lot like our whinier fans over on the football board.

Yeah, but this whole Niemann thing would be like Buster Douglas knocking out Mike Tyson.  Just doesn't happen.

What the fuck does "...I am limited in what I can say without explicit permission from Niemann..." mean?   

Is he asking Niemann for permission to defame him more than what he already has?   Fuck that Noise. 

Carlsen need to put up or shut up. Either he has something real, or he doesn't.  And it needs be be a bit more concrete than 'He wasn't tense when he was out playing me'.

He need to present evidence - he is crying wolf until then. He’s had ample opportunity and always sidesteps it.

It's funny how different the reactions are on various forums.  Some of the big chess forums are acting like Magnus delivered a devastating blow to Hans with this statement.  Sounds to me like he has nothing more than suspicion.  If he didn't want to play him because he suspected he was a cheater, then why did he decide to enter the tournament and quit only after losing?  None of this would have come up if Magnus won.  But he lost and he can't deal with it.  

Here is an interesting write up on the situation by Jacob Aagaard, who is a Scottish GM and former trainer of Hans:

Biography of Judit Polgar Hungarian chess player

Would hit it with tremendous enthusiasm.

So let me understand how cheating would work in the way he has been accused:

Someone would be inputting Carlson's moves into an AI chess game and then that someone sends a signal to Neimanns' butthole with morse code telling him which piece to move and where?

Apologies if I missed this bring mentioned in this thread, but Niemann is an admitted online cheater, isn't he?

My understanding is that Hans was a late addition to the St. Louis event after someone else pulled out.

That latest Hikaru video is a beating to watch, but it brings up some interesting points. Assuming that data is legit, it’s pretty compelling. At least the parts I could stay awake for. I’m leaning more and more towards Stockfish anal implants.

Hans cheated a lot online and got banned.

Then he had a sudden meteoric rise, then gave an interview after some wins where he wasn't giving 2700 level analysis AT ALL. Very suspicious. 

Also statistically it's been basically proven he's cheating over the board somehow, or he suddenly got way better and knows how to make perfect (sometimes unnatural) moves. Probably anal beads that someone is sending him moves though vibrations - why everyone is making jokes about beads.

He was a late addition, but Magnus knew going in he would have to play him.  He only quits the tournament after he loses.  
 

Can anyone point to the part of the Hikaru video that specially shows the 100% stockfish correlation?  There has been tons of analysis of Neiman’s games recently, and pretty much all of the highlighted suspicious games have been debunked.

41 moves communicated via anal beads? His britches could probably stand up on their own after that match. Animal.

Right after the part where Hikaru repeats himself 4 times in rapid succession.

Here’s the highlights of the video. Of course the details really matter if it will hold up.

 

The analysis from Yosha Iglesias that Hikaru references is based on some engine correlation metric from Chessbase.  Chessbase claims that it shouldn’t be used for cheating detection and that centipawn loss is a better tool. Here are 10 games she gives from Hans that she claims have high engine correlation:
 

Game # of Moves Accuracy Centipawn loss I/M/B vs
1 36 94% 16 2/0/0 GM
2 22 91% 26 2/1/0 GM*
3 27 95% 21 0/0/0 FM
4 28 96% 11 0/0/0 IM
5 28 96% 10 0/0/0 IM
6 31 96% 15 0/0/0 IM
7 34 95% 12 0/0/0 IM
8 38 98% 5 0/0/0 IM*
9 45 94% 19 1/0/0 GM
10 37 95% 11 3/1/0 GM


You can view the games here:

https://lichess.org/study/ffYRNE1u

These are classical games (both sides have hours to play) played by a high rated GM against lower rated opposition.  Nothing about these games are suspicious considering they were selected out of a few hundred games played under those circumstances.  This past week I played a 3 minute blitz game with a 16 centipawn loss game at 93% accuracy according to lichess.  That can happen because of the level of opposition and I play a lot of blitz games. 
 
In short, very poor analysis by Yosha and Hikaru using improper methods.
