Cheating Chess King: A new report revealed that a popular U.S. chess player, Hans Moke Niemann, may have cheated more than 100 times in worldwide online chess matches. Some of those matches had large amounts of money at play. An investigation by chess.com, which uses algorithms to identify whether a player is copying a computer system (which can win against any human), reported that Niemann, a 19-year-old from California has cheated more than 100 times since 2020. The 72-page report stopped short of alleging in-person cheating. FIDE, chess’ world governing body will be conducting its own report in the coming months. Niemann strongly denies the allegations.

More: The report read, “while we don’t doubt that Hans is a talented player, we note that his results are statistically extraordinary.”
