I just realized I didn’t say “Itesodadae”

Have no idea why YT recommended this to me but it was great.
-
I was the checker champion of my 3rd grade class.

As a statistician I hate the internet and everyone here

This was an excellent video on cheating. I have been involved in investigation allegations of cheating in the Backgammon world. You have to be so careful and remember that you are dealing with a persons reputation. When you say a person cheated, you should have to say how they cheated, not just, that you have a feeling. Maybe a feeling is enough to start an investigation but it should be a private investigation.

"Chess speaks for itself" -famous last words

I didnt know Dream played chess.
-
I want to add on, the rapid elo climbing phenomenon during the pandemic applied to many up and coming players, not just Niemann. It has been a common complaint from top players about losing elo from people who were underrated due to the pandemic.
-
It’s so crazy to hear someone say “I never cheated in x and y, I only cheated in z”
-
I like the part where Hans Niemann says “It’s Esaming Time”
-
Hans interview at Sinqfield didnt do him any favours. He said he cheated online only in unrated games so he could get his rating up to play stronger players. Wtf. He also lied about the number of times he cheated which turned out to be a lot more than he admitted too. When you have a track record of cheating and lying its not surprising that a lot of people wont trust you again.
-
thank you. this is a phenomenal video that was very clearly well-researched.
-
Great documentary man. And yeah, I didn’t like how Hikaru posed himself as an objective bystander when he clearly had some biases against Hans. It’s okay to have biases, but he wasn’t combating them, he was leaning into them
-
I like that you don’t fear to go after big YouTubers just to say the right thing. Great video
-
That Botez clip really illustrates what the mindset was around this situation. He’s either the best or he cheated. And he can’t be the best bc Magnus is the best and he clearly cheated bc how could Magnus make a mistake. Like idk how this entire community just immediately snapped on this dude because their top player lost.
-
What frustrates me about videos like this is while the OP is being critical of all these people being so "obviously illogical", like 1 second later they will say things like "this rules out cheating" because the player didn't play only top engine moves. This mistake is made repeatedly by all sorts of defenders, the idea that a cheater must cheat constantly, when everyone knows the smart way to cheat would be to use the engine sparingly, in critical positions, and inconsistently. "obviously".
-
Man Hikaru does not come out of this well
-
I love how you’re branching out into covering other topics instead of just the smash and commentary community! Great video man🧡
-
This video perfectly illustrates how people put too much faith into models, math and stats. Just because a model exists and adheres to the rules of math and formal logic doesn't necessarily mean that it adequately or fully describes reality. This flawed use of the tool can be seen across many different domains of human activity.

Really an amazingly well done video. You have a true talent at this.
