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.

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.
