    The first team that accuses is probably doing it already.

    https://games.slashdot.org/story/22...n-chess-cheating-scandal-sows-even-more-chaos


    Chess's top-ranked player, Magnus Carlsen, has finally spoken about the ongoing alleged cheating scandal that has rocked the chess world for the last several weeks and was reignited when Carlsen resigned in protest after making one move against Hans Niemann. Niemann, of course, was accused of cheating against Carlsen earlier this month, but no one has been able to prove this, nor has a mechanism for the supposed cheating been proven.

    "I think the whole world is wondering, what is the reason you withdrew [against Niemann]?" a newscaster with Chess24 asked. "Unfortunately I cannot particularly speak on that," Carlsen said. "But, you know, people can draw their own conclusion and they certainly have. I have to say I'm very impressed by Niemann's play, and I think his mentor Maxine Dlugy must be doing a great job." "I will not comment on that," he added when asked if he was accusing Niemann of cheating. He was then asked if he was accusing Dlugy, who is a chess grandmaster, of helping Niemann cheat: "No, I will not say more about that subject ... I hope to say a little bit more after the tournament." Carlsen was then asked if he thought cheating was a problem in chess. "I think individual people will answer the question differently depending on their own experiences. Regardless of whether it's a massive problem or not, it's, I think, fairly easy to cheat. On a general basis, cheaters in the future, it should not be taken lightly neither online nor over the board."

    Chess watchers believe that by namedropping Maxine Dlugy, Carlsen is putting down more breadcrumbs. Dlugy is is a Russian-born, American chess grandmaster who currently operates the Chess Max Academy in Manhattan. In July, Dlugy posted a photo with "my student Hans Niemann," congratulating him on "becoming a top 50 player in the world! Go Hans!" After Niemann beat Carlsen earlier this month, Dlugy posted a congratulatory message: "Just 16 months ago or so, I recommended to Hans to really focus on endings. He devoted a lot of time to this pivotal part of the game and today I am proud to say that his endgame play is sufficient to beat the reigning World Champion from a better position. That's powerful! Hans Niemann -- Chess speaks for itself!"

    Redditors were quick to point out, however, that Dlugy has his own controversy. Dlugy has been removed twice from a weekly Chess.com tournament called Titled Tuesday, in 2017 and 2020. Benjamin Bok, a chess grandmaster and Twitch streamer, for example, made a whole segment delving into some of Dlugy's old Chess.com matches and pointing out that Dlugy was suddenly removed from Chess.com with no explanation: "Generally that only means one thing," Bok said, not elaborating on what it means, but heavily implying that it means he was caught cheating. "Draw your own conclusions. Draw your own conclusions. That's all I'm going to say." "Question becomes: Is perhaps Dlugy Hans' accomplice, in case Hans is cheating? We'll have to wait and see," Bok says. "But the fact that Magnus makes that statement and drops his name, it means that he knows something we don't know. You can't just drop someone's name in there without really knowing stuff. I feel like he knows something really big."

    That article by Wallstreet Journal is behind a paywall. Anyone able to see it and share what was their evidence of his cheating (or "likely cheating")? I'm curious but not enough to pay for the Wallstreet Journal.

    The “evidence” is in what moves they made. In Bridge tournaments, cheating has happened at the Worlds — France was notorious. All they do is look at the cards and what you played, and if there is no reason a card should have been played when it was, then you can be penalized by the Director for cheating.

    With chess, I’m sure it’s not as easy to determine if a move was so unreasonable (yet successful) that there would be no explanation except cheating, but a computer could be used to determine that. A chess computer like Magnus Carlson :)could definitely sniff out a questionable (yet somehow successful) move. If you were Magnus, you’d know. So, run that guys games through computer simulations, and a computer could easily flag questionable games based on its database of games, then human experts would look at the flagged games and say “likely” or “unlikely” cheating.

    Sort of hoping for a Queen's Gambit season two centered around this idea.

    I have this battery controlled thing that can be wrapped around the PP and has a “head” looking thing that can rub on her naughty parts. Looks like a 2 legged octopus.
