Re:Magnus Carlsen resigns against Hans Niemann in the second... by radiator on Tuesday September 20, 2022 @08:41AM (#32910854)
As I wrote in another comment, I find it ridiculous to consider some Pr Kenneth Regan (a weak chess player actually) a leading expert on cheating, and to hold his opinion above the opinion of Magnus Carlsen, who has analysed Niemann's games and also faced him in tournaments.

Why?

He is not some Pr Kenneth Regan. He is actually a recognised expert on statistical analysis when it comes to cheating in chess and has worked for FIDE multiple times. Plus it’s not like it’s only his words. He actually published a very valid engine based analysis of Niemann performance in the last two years. Is the issue that it’s showing the opposite of what you would like it to?

Meanwhile Magnus is actually a player in the game involved and the losing one at that. He has zero claim to objectivity.
