Should The Chess World Make It Easy For People Who Have Been Dedicated To Cheating?

> @Chesserroo2 until someone proves that Niemann cheated in his game against Carlsen, accepting that he cheated is just as good as accepting that Carlsen cheated but lost and rage quitted. Both are equally baseless. The only facts are that Niemann won and Carlsen did rage quit and started tweeting.

I never said Hans cheated against Carlson. I believe he did not cheat here.

I said Carlson does not owe Hans an apology, and Hans deserves to hear the past brought up publicly every time he insults people. He is lucky to still be allowed in tournaments, and should act civil for the next 4 years.

From chess.com press release yesterday or today:

"We have shared detailed evidence with him concerning our decision, including information that contradicts his statements regarding the amount and seriousness of his cheating on Chess.com"

Could this mean that chess.com have information that Niemann’s cheating at chess.com was more massive and more serious than what Niemann told about in the interview for a couple of days ago?

@Chesserroo2 I believe any player would feel badly if after their game the opponent quitted the tournament and started making naughty tweets about their game. In my opinion it is not the best sportsmanship by Carlsen. It would have been better if he just continued playing and showed his genuine surprise when proved right on Niemann cheating. But on the other hand that wouldn't bring Carlsen to the headlines (maybe he just wanted the chess world to speak about him even when he does not win).

What if exploration is needed to become a better cheater and get around detection? Lite penalties make people less afraid to experiment and have chances to cheat again after being caught. Although, one could just pay a nobody to try different techniques, and use the one that works. But that person might out you or compete with you.

As I said, Mr. Niemann, and all cheaters, call into question and attack the integrity of the sport and the platforms which host it.
They have done great damage and it's all that the chess world can do in order to fix itself faster than they can damage it.

As a result, we have chesscom distancing themselves from him, we now have metal detectors at Sinquefiled, and we have chessplayers who are making a statement that cheating has absolutely no place in the chess world.

And, by the way, now, after hearing that, it sounds as if he may have hacked Carlsen's private studies/password.
Or it could just be chesscom using hyperbole to justify their decision to distance themselves from him.

BUT EITHER WAY, this was all created by the willingness for chess players to cheat.

Hans, and everyone like him, caused all of this to happen, and if anyone is supposed to be able to connect the dots, it's chess players.
