Niemann has since been accused of cheating, with wild rumours circulating online that he has been using wireless anal beads to get signals about where to move his pieces.
It's excellent fun, his latest rage quit after two moves was exceptionally good. But I'd be inclined to trust his instincts given he's an expert and knows what is going down in the moment, so that guy is blatantly cheating with anal beads, and his comical interviews after all but confirm it.
The people defending him are mostly trying to use data and statistical analysis as evidence, alongside their cringeworthy woke "innocent until proven guilty" virtue signal woe is hans bullshit, but they have no idea what they're doing with that because they're chess players and not research scientists, so their opinions are devoid of proper mathematics. I guess chess is what people with autism do when it never occurred to them to study science.
In isolation, this may look very fishy indeed, but before we jump to the beckoning anal bead computer shaped implication of this bell curve, let’s look at his peers.
As we can see, the expected results and real results in Elo gains vary wildly amongst this group of upcoming players, and Niemann’s result is, by comparison, less dramatic.
Most people just play chess rather than chat mate. Loads of learning material (puzzles/vids) if he's just getting started. You can also watch live GM v GM games as well
