    Looking back at this. This whole thing was a wild ride. Magnus took being a sore loser to another level.

    Grade A asshole

        Perfect is a bit of a stretch. There was a tiny chance of Niemann winning that match, but smarter folk than I have analyzed the game and said that it was consistent with legitimate play

        If your dumb enough to believe the reddit meme about a vibrating butt plug being how he cheated, seriously reconsider your life

          Reddit meme? You mean the explicit statement/accusation by Magnus Carlson himself on Twitter, and the youtube video I linked that shows exactly how its possible with little effort?

          The good people of the internet can’t do all the reading and video watching for you - Most of have lives, but can still be bothered to look into whether we should open our mouths with some dismissive bullshit. What’s your excuse?

        I don’t know anything about the chess drama, but it really doesn’t matter who you are, don’t publicly shame when you could do it privately.

          It’s kinda hard to privately resign from a match and refuse to play in a tournament because you think an opponent is cheating

          You’re misunderstanding/misrepresenting the historical/societal role of shame. Its not just a personal feeling to be felt, or more likely feigned, nor is it something one person is capable of imparting to another who is not already inclined towards it.

          One’s elders do not wait for friends and family to leave the room before calling out shamefull acts, nor would doing so serve any purpose.
