I Was Right

Hans Niemann is a cheater, and I knew it before most of you. Maybe Lichess will take my cheating reports more seriously from now on. If you want to catch a cheater look at the middlegame. Almost nobody plays that perfectly, unless the other side played stupidly. Magnus doesn't make huge obvious mistakes. People can play openings like computers, and endgames if they are simple enough, but the middlegame is really tough to get right especially when the world champ plays offbeat moves in the opening to lead to a difficult middlegame. Anyone who defended Hans should automatically have their accounts looked at for cheating because they are taking it personal, and are more than likely cheaters themselves, and would want a cheater to win, because maybe they could cheat for some money too in the future.
I missed the press release where he was proven to be an (OTB) cheater.
All great men have the INTERNAL CONVICTION that they are right.

my boy greviousone is a GREAT MAN, while you, unfortunately, are a member of the common run, needing external validation of your truth. sad.

If "internal conviction" or "not needing external validation" is belief in the alternatives to facts, then that's ignorance, not a great man.
Everyone resorted to ad hominem attacks instead of debating the issue. I won again! Haha.
@GreviousOne I was kind of with you right up until I got almost to the end of your statement.

I backed HN as there’s zero proof he cheated outside of the times he admitted cheating. That’s no endorsement of a cheater.

Perhaps you like to retract your statement that anyone backing him is a likely cheater and that their games need looking at. By all means check any of my games and report back. In fact I insist you check my games. I’d really value such an expert opinion.

Alternatively you can just admit your statement is just plain wrong and is a slight against players you have no knowledge or experience of and that you are in no position to question the morals of any individual without evidence.
