I understand they are not all the top moves, and from more than 14 different engines. I think it would be easy enough for accusers to say what number moves they are and which engine they analysed with, but blind sentiment is high enough that if you claim Hans was being fed them through his backside, people seem to believe it.

We get it, you don't like him, his accent, and his hair style, your hero Hikaru has already explained it.

Something I find confusing is that the Motherboard article states that the email exchanges between GM Dlugy and chess . com were obtained by Motherboard from chess . com.

Does anyone know what the circumstances were?
Chess . com evidently has a strict policy (noted on their website) of not releasing information about cheating cases. Were the emails somehow revealed without actual authority from chess . com? Did GM Dlugy perhaps consent to their release? Have I misunderstood the policy statement?

I'm not asking for speculation or theories about misconduct on anyone's part. Nor do I want to provoke uninformed invective against any person or organization. I'm simply very curious about the details of how this information became public. It would be helpful to know more about this.

Best regards to all.

Because of a technical problem, I wasn't able to see the entire video featuring Jason Koebler, discussing his Motherboard story about Dlugy's email correspondence regarding cheating. From what I did see of the video, it appears that Koebler says he simply "reached out" to chess . com and they supplied him with the emails. Was there any additional detail or other information in the video, about how Motherboard was able to obtain the emails from chess . com?

Okay so Maxim Dlugy claims he cheated using crowdsourcing or Back Seat Gaming method.

Didn't Magnus do this once on Lichess against @rebeccaharris?

Cheating is cheating, whether Dlugy or Magnus or Niemann. right?

in case of european union citizen would be grave violation of gdpr. Actually keeping old account visible is also violation. Once membership is terminated there is no reason to keep the account existing i.e storing personal data without proper cause

I thought it was only Lichess when Magnus Carlsen account-shared on LM Luckyriver's account, but you are correct, it was both that and when he was accepting moves against GM Naroditsky (on video). With intent, he finished the game and claimed the points.

If he had taken his stance on cheating before losing to Niemann, you would have assumed he had introspectively assessed his own online fair play violations, and the poor precedent it has had on the chess community cheating at large.
