I don’t know if you are aware but he was removed from chess.com in 2020 and admired he was cheating then. So has a long term and recent history with cheating, this wasn’t just some youthful indiscretion.

The report includes strong evidence he was recently and repeatedly cheating in games for prize money which shows a serious lack of ethics.

Anyway, I don’t see any significant difference in OTB vs online cheating. It’s at most slightly easier to cheat online, but the OTB prize pools are significant.

> It’s at most slightly easier to cheat online

This statement is so far removed from reality that I am not sure that it would be productive to continue the discussion.

Your disbelief just shows ignorance.

The hard part of cheating isn’t inputting and receiving moves, and in fact documented chess cheating goes back to the late 1800’s.

Well what do I know about chess? my lichess rapid rating is slightly below 2600, so chances are your expertise in chess cheating far exceeds mine.

Please, tell us how exactly did Niemann cheat in that OTB game with Carlsen, and circumvented the measures taken by the tournament organizers?
