An investigation into the career of Hans Niemann, the chess grandmaster embroiled in an alleged cheating scandal, has found a disturbingly widespread pattern of suspicious behavior far beyond what the 19-year-old had previously publicly admitted to.
, alleges that Niemann had “likely cheated” in more than 100 online matches, including 25 live-streamed games and several played for prize money. The most recent violations discovered in the report occurred in 2020, when Niemann was 17 years old.
The report did not accuse Niemann of cheating in any classical, in-person matches, though it noted the “many remarkable signals and unusual patterns in Hans’ path” as an over-the-board competitor. Chess.com acknowledged that its technology, used to scrutinize his online playing style, could not extend to the classical form of the game, which is notoriously hard to monitor for cheating.
Carlsen was referring to a Sept. 6 match in the Sinquefield Cup, a prestigious tournament in St. Louis. Coming in hot off a 53-game winning streak, Carlsen was upset in 57 moves by Niemann, who was wielding the disadvantageous black pieces.
