Hans played a near-perfect game as black against the best player in the world who hadn’t lost as white in years
Hans made some suspiciously good moves quickly, without much time passing
Magnus played a very rare opening that Hans was somehow able to perfectly respond to without skipping a beat
From these, many people think he cheated. The vibrating butt plug is unlikely, but what is more likely is that Magnus’ prep got leaked and Hans was able to hyper-prepare for a specific line of play.
He admitted to cheating online when he was a child. Magnus is clearly just salty someone younger is better than him and is trying to humiliate him to hide his own embarrassment.
The first page of the report literally states: “We present evidence in this report that Hans likely cheated online much more than his public statements suggest”, and you’re trying to tell me that the report says there is no evidence of cheating at all?
Did you not open the link? Or are you Hans himself? If you’re trying to deny allegations, at least read the first page.
On page 3: “Despite the public speculation on these questions, in our view, there is no direct evidence that proves Hans
cheated at the September 4, 2022 game with Magnus, or proves that he has cheated in other OTB games
in the past.”
(I missed that OTB means on the board).
But regardless, there is no concrete proof as you are suggesting, the report is speculation based on other player styles. As they say themselves, it’s very difficult to know whether younger players may have learnt chess playing against AI and developed styles to match that.
Why did anyone even listen to this bullshit. This must be the biggest case of bullying of modern times.

Beyond his admission, chess.com decided he’d likely cheated around a hundred times on their site.

Yes, after which it was proven that he cheated later than he admitted and more often than he admitted.
Can you link to that please, it says the opposite in the article?
