Hans makes the most +EV plays against unconventional Magnus openings. He’s either the greatest chess player alive, (and like Robbi can’t even explain his game, and admitted to cheating in the past) or he’s cheating. i’m happy to bet quite a bit of money that Hans is a nobody in 5 years in chess.

what evidence do you have for your position?

If you think making engine moves at the level Hans is at is evidence that he is cheating, I think you are just not very well informed about chess.

> He’s either the greatest chess player alive

Ridiculous, nothing about his play suggests he's the greatest chess player alive.

how do you defend Hans, then? you’re just doubting what i’m saying without substance

The burden is to show that Hans is cheating OTB. I don't really know whether he is cheating OTB, although I think it is unlikely - but AFAIK there hasn't really been any statistical evidence of Hans cheating OTB and I'm not really sure what such evidence would even look like for a super GM who one would expect to routinely play engine moves.

but i’m sure you have quite literally nothing to refute this with but the autistic cries from the ether

If you happened to read the article you were posting, you would see this isn't about OTB chess.

stay classy

Can you give any source to these large claims?

My position is that the statistical analysis is flawed: just think critically about it for a bit and you can understand why. It has been beaten to death already.

just think critically about how arrogant you are: https://twitter.com/andrewlbeaton/status/1577380022788169728

i’d love to see any substantive comment from you though
