> Hans made his improvements during Covid times

None of the similarly rated players at the same age did anything similar during "Covid times and The Queens' Gambit boom".

Watch the videos I linked at the end of my comment and tell me how covid times contribute to that anomaly.

Unless they make a concrete accusation of cheating I'm not really interested. These circumstantial accusations all boil down to "something unusual happened" but the world is full of unusual things happening. Nobody, AFAICT, has come out and said "Hans cheated in X OTB event. He did so by getting Y information by Z method".

IMHO everyone needs to either put up hard evidence or shut up.
