May-05-23 | | Atterdag: I rout for Vuppala, Ihor and Sandipan - their first names sound wonderful. |
|
May-05-23 | | EvanTheTerrible: These events are so dangerous for higher rated players. Lots of young, underrated players from India, Kazakhstan, and Azerbaijan. |
|
May-09-23 | | jphamlore: It's getting ridiculous how many rising young players India has. Mendonca is also a violinist. |
|
May-09-23 | | EvanTheTerrible: There are even more we've never heard of. The entire pool of Indian players are underrated, so when they finally get to play internationally they overperform to an extreme degree. |
|
May-12-23 | | greed and death: It looks like Niemann bailed on the tournament and withdrew after a round 8 loss to Prraneeth. I guess Magnus isn't the only one who doesn't like losing to lower-rated players ;) |
|
May-12-23
 | | perfidious: Niemann is far from the first higher-rated player in a Swiss to go into lose a game and withdraw mode, though in this case, two defeats left nothing to play for in the last round. |
|
May-12-23 | | jphamlore: The Hans Niemann controversy will become a long forgotten footnote, because I predict he will return back to university within a year, maybe within months. He has no future as a chess professional. The alternative sources of income related to chess aren't open to him. |

The Hans Niemann controversy won't ever be forgotten even if Niemann himself stops playing, because it raises a number of issues that go beyond his own case, questions about how to deal with potential cheating in the computer era.Niemann won't "return back to university," because he never was in university. He would need to make a new application. Typically if he applies this fall, he could be accepted for the following fall. I doubt he will make any major career decision before the FIDE report and the lawsuit reach some clarity. Even if he stops playing chess, he would still want to clear his name as much as possible to be able to practice any other career. That would affect any university application too, as he'd definitely have to explain the world-famous cheating allegations in his application statement. It's too early to say "he has no future as a chess professional." It really depends on (a) how far he is able to improve his results and (b) how the whole affair plays out in the court of public opinion. If nothing else, he has achieved high name recognition and could probably publish some kind of memoir and go on a lecture tour on the theme of how he lived on after disastrous negative publicity. |

May-13-23 | | stone free or die: <<jphamlore> The Hans Niemann controversy...> It really should be called the <Carlsen--Niemann> controvesy. The order of the names reflecting b the colors of the game in question. I believe the universal opinion is that Carlsen's play was rather subpar that day, ie. he was beatable without cheating. * * * * *
Niemann had a bad tournament, losing 17 rating points. But, as is always the case, others got dinged as well. E.g. Nepo has lost 9.2 ELO, Keymer 10.2, Adam 15.8, and Predke 23.3. I don't see anyone forecasting the end of their professional careers. |

 | | fredthebear: <The Hans Niemann controversy won't ever be forgotten> I certainly agree <beatgiant>. This is not only a claim to fame by Niemann thanks to Carlsen making an ass of himself, but the issue of cheating is as important to chess' reputation as steroid enhancement is to the world of sports. People want legitimate results. |
