What do you mean "only"? You could make $1,000 in simply 4 hours.
For context, the average US salary is around $54,000 per year.

Nah I think astrologists and leigh tarot readers.

Most of your forum posts give me that impression too.

@VTWood

Excellent point, $250 an hour. Psychology describes the businessman as "a Narcissist without Empathy for Profits".
Okay, what then is a Psychologist at $250 an hour? Profits from Empathy? Who does that?

Psychology is constantly violating Own Rules worse than the people who Psychology demonizes by rule, while not thinking guilty of anything. This nonsense is all through the paradigm.

Narcissism at minimum. The rule system rigged, the one way judgement rigged. Entire paradigm needs External Audit for Methodology/Integrity. A rethink this time associated with Objective Sciences and Own Rules.

Back in 1989 the firm I was at in NYC billed my time at $400 per hour. Partners billed at anywhere from $600 to $850 an hour. There were some attorneys like Raoul Felder who billed at close to $1K per hour.....

My position is there is a possibility that Nieman cheated otb as well as online, and a certainty that Magnus handled this whole issue badly. but these guys "forensic psychologists"?? next, forensic astrologers weigh in.

my distrust of psychology is matched only by my distrust of Niemman

Some of the things Niemann says appears weird to these non-chess players but is completely natural to us. It’s how we talk in our post-game analysis. One example:

Niemann says ”when I saw this move” which some in the panel interprets to mean ”when I received this move” (from an outside source).

This is clearly not what we mean when we talk like this. We are saying ”when I finally realized it could be a good move to play X”

Completely worthless video.

The guys in this video are the people who get murderers and such to confess ...

And Hans wouldn't be the first Chess Master to have flipped his wig ...

@boilingFrog they are also the same guys who claimed to have gotten the Iraqi Army to surrender with paper leaflets saying "Surrender" dropped from aircraft.

That aircraft was operated by armored divisions. Was there personally.

Here's one who begs to differ, again.
