@@lionelmessi4953 Did you not watch the video? agad specifically points out that BOTH of them basically played top engine moves the entire game, not just Hans
Basically Hans has 9 100% games and 24 above 90% in the last 3 years. Magnus has only had 3 100% games in his entire career. Hans had a 6 tournament run with an average engine move better than Bobby Fischer's famous 20 game win streak. This is a feat that neither Fischer, Magnus or Kasparov accomplished at their peak. So either he suddenly became the greatest player of all time after turning 17, or he is cheating. You decide.
Again that is bull****, people raging over 100% are dumbos, you would be surprised but the 100% of those 3 Carlsen games were the exciting ones, most of the 100% games go unnoticed as they are boring, you play well and then you win and forget it. Also I doubt you did research those games and even if you did, you probably did it poorly. Thats why special teams are made for this. You do not find cheaters like GM Naroditsky by booting up stockfish in 3:30 in the morning and going......... Complete nonsense, and as Ben Finegold said: It's all not really anything except good content for Hikaru, Agad, Levy and others...

I remember your upload of AlphaZero trapping the Stockfish queen on H8. That was possibly the most insane engine game I've ever seen played out. Love when you reference a couple year old video, I know exactly which game you're talking about :)
@@elmahdiboulhya6835 ??? In the video Antonio references the game where AlphaZero trapped the queen, which is what I linked. There is no video of AlphaZero trapping their own queen if that's what you're looking for, as far as I know.
If you think what prove is, it is always a decision to consider the evidence sufficient. Unless it is a trivial logical construction, but that carries no new knowledge
but don't go overboard. because proof is built from evidence, so the only practical use you'd have from the definition would basically be to point out inconclusive evidence, which im sure you were already doing, which really makes no difference in practical cases. you don't want to be the annoying one going around saying "that's not proof, that's evidence!"
Its our public education system. it is 100% corrupt from top to bottom. they barely teach anything constructive or practical outside of The Message. Its a crime against humanity and that is not hyperbole. its really bad here.

@@oscarwahlstrom5426 agreed, he leans more towards defending Hans than looking at it from strictly a stats perspective. I believe innocent until proven guilty but once chessbase showed the numbers, statistically there is no way he didnt play unfairly. In this game if i recall Hans got a 100% engine correlation and Mishra got 77%. i could be wrong i'm going by vague memory from when I watched the video. Awesome defense by Mishra, and if this was the only 100% game from Hans then it really is his best game of his life. However he has 10 100% games, where most top GMs dont even have 1. Very suspicious.
I remember this one young guy who made it his life's goal to beat the world champion. And when the day finally arrived he was so excited to explain how well he played. He was buzzing with enthusiasm and joy so keen to talk to the camera. And so with absolute excitement at achieving his lifes goal he stood in front of that camera. But in a strange turn of events he said in a grumpy, almost angry tone, "chess speaks for itself", and walked away. Then the audience asked, why was he angry after winning? A voice of judgement whispered, "he is angry because he sold his soul".
If Hans used engine in this game and his opponent really did well and put up a great fight then Mishra could be the next big star in chess, imagine fighting chess engine only to lose In a king and pawn endgame.
Agad since we are seeing a Hans effects more often, now you have to also specify whether the game was played online mode or on the board… just like you mention whether it’s Classical, Rapid etc
Look at the little android robot cartoon in the bottom right of the video. Just below Agadmator. This indicates whether the game is Classical, Rapid, etc by the letter on the robot android cartoon. C = Classical R = Rapid B = Blitz
@@applesteve6932 you didn’t answer his question. Original commentator already knows this, but wanted to know if this is over the board or online. Perhaps it was all over the board until after covid?
There's neither proof, nor even much evidence in that video. The 1/34646 stuff is nonsense, the probability of those 5 results in some order correctly calculated is 1 in 289. Add in the 6th result and it becomes 1 in 106. The 100% correlation stuff is also unconvincing. Someone already did a similar comparison for Magnus and found 2 such games out of 98, which is a similar rate (10 out of 402 = 2.5 per hundred). And then it also turned out a lot more engines were used for the Hans analysis here. The more engines you use, the more 100% correlations you get. You end up with even more correlation than something like T3 (top 3 moves from a single engine), where 100% games aren't really all that uncommon with 2700 players. So far the only guy with much statistical competence to do any analysis of Hans games has been Ken Regan, and he has found nothing suspicious. If other people want to try, they should at least follow a few basic rules: 1. Choose your criteria, what tests and measurements you plan to do, before looking at the data. 2. Then gather the needed data from multiple players; at least half a dozen players, with at least 50 game samples from each. 3. Then do the work of doing the predetermined tests and measurements in the same exact way for each player, including using the same software and engines, with the exact same settings, on the same hardware. I've yet to see an analysis of this situation, from anyone other than Regan, which took these basic steps to avoid things like cherry picking, confirmation bias, or the post hoc probability fallacy (google Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy).
Thats the problem with our society . They dont understand the mathematical data and some basic logical principles in statistics and as a result are vulnerable to fake conclusions which appeals to their preconceived bias . Because of their lack in intelligence and understanding bullies like Hikaru and Magnus have created an army of fanatic fanbase
If anyone want more and arguably "better" analysis of this game then check out Fabiano Caruanas C Squared podcast, then you will actually see how insane some of these moves are
Lin has also played basketball of his life during one strech of a season. Streaks happen. Society is based on innocent until proven guilty and that you talking about him crcaking under the weight of the whole world watching him tells more about you than him.
@@gaspi91 Society is absolutely not built on innocent until proven guilty. That is in regards to state prosecution of a citizen in some countries. Even then you can get locked up without bail while awaiting trial. lol
The question I asked myself was who would think of trapping their own knight so early with the plan of using it to trap the white king and essentially heading for an endgame where kings are much more useful than knights. I don't remember reading anything like that in Kotov's pre-engine era classic "Think like a grandmaster". Time for someone to write "Think like an engine".
Agad with the wisdom. I will definitely tell my friends at the bar the difference between proof and evidence. I appreciate how fair you've been on the topic a truly level headed commentator. I myself need to work on that.
@@timetheory84 Perhaps a more accurate analogy would be you have an admitted serial killer in custody, and you're pressing them to find out if they have any more victims you don't know about. Pretty standard procedure.
@@timetheory84 if you have proof, you don't need evidence (unless the proof depends upon it). Just because you have a suspect and you find evidence doesn't mean you can prove the suspect did it, even if he really did (I think that's what you're saying), sure. But if you have proof that so and so did it, what else do you need?
@@utilitymonster8267 cheating successfully requires even more skill than the legal way. You'll understand if you cheat and lie regularly. That's why fugitives actually make excellent detectives.
I have never seen him play IRL, but I know people who have, and they hold him in very high regard to say the least. There is no doubt that Niemann is a chess prodigy
It's the most sus game of his career because it wins move by move but later down the line. No human would play like that with a thought of getting winning endgame. Only engines play like that.
I think it's easier to make near perfect moves in response to perfect moves than it is to make the original perfect moves. It's like following someone down a rugged path when they already know where it's going.
I'm so hyped, I called the Re6 brilliancy, quite proud of that one. Just thinking of the logic of "the opposing rook is forced to capture otherwise you lose the rook or knight"
@@jdbond1990 more like the smallest if. My guy went silent after Carlsen's statement. Also not mentioning his suspicions all this time and his replies after beating magnus. Not even the superGMs dared to speak like that against Carlsen after thry beat him in a match. Not only Hans is a cheater but a kid who didn't raised well
Thank you for that clarification. I think simple and direct engagement with sensationalist content is so productive. I am grateful to those who do it as objectively as you do. I don't comment enough to tell you how much I appreciate your presence in our world.
Niemann is learning that cheating will follow you throughout your life. Even minor cheating in an inconsequential match will give you a cloud of suspicion for every good match you ever play whether you ever cheat again or not.

Wow, brilliant game. That king cage was a thing of beauty, but in fairness, what a defence from Mishra. I suppose one way of putting the first point in simple terms is that evidence suggests something, proof confirms it.
clearly Mishra was using an engine as well, just a worse one, since most of his moves were top engine moves as well as agadmator said. Do you guys even watch the video or just read the title?
anyone else remember a few years ago when hans was playing hikaru online (and getting destoryed) and his heart rate went crazy high, to the point where he nearly passed out, and hikaru was told about it and stopped the game? that's why magnus' statement about hans not appearing stressed is very interesting. maybe he has just changed and matured so much recently, but he used to get VERY stressed while playing
You get used to it, when i first plaued against my IM coach i hyperventilated and had to go out to take a breather, after that it just became mpre and more normal, hans has played like 200 games in the past year i think, not surprising his nerves have got better.
That was his first opportunity to play him IIRC and it was also a tournament so he was freaking out. Cried when he lost, somehow convinced himself it was the only shot he'd ever have at playing a super GM.
No need to play top move when every move wins… it’s not inaccuracy or mistake if you still winning by -5… winning by -10 or -5 is a mistake that doesn’t matter
Great game! Also, I just realized how truly brilliant Agad is as a person, with the proof/evidence analysis; seeking to clarify subtle ambiguities. Keep it up and best wishes.
After watching the correlation video, I am convinced that he is a huge cheater. Untill yesterday, I was sharing sympathy with him that he is not a cheater but now I feel sad that Magnus and other GMs lost to him which is an insult of chess.
I'm glad you pointed out that BOTH players played out of their minds. Other analysis has also recently pointed out that Hans' opponents have at times over-performed and under-performed against him. Maybe all this drama has merely served to expose a deep desire for controversy and drama inside the chess fan base.
At the start of all this drama, I thought how the hell can he cheat, and that it was all sour grapes on Magnus's part. But chess speaks for itself, Hans playing better than Fisher, Kasparov, and Magnus, out of the blue. No way, it takes years to climb to that level.
I feel like everyone initially jumped on the "magnus is just butthurt" bandwagon, but it didn't make sense to me. Magnus has lost gracefully to many young players, and even praised them, like Esipenko last year. He's not the most humble guy (neither were Fischer or Kasparov), but he's always been a good sportsman. He also has a better understanding than most of us patzers of what humans and engines are capable of. I trust Magnus's assessment over the downvote brigade on r/chess.
the analysis you are referring is wrong and blatantly misleading. You are referring to Yosha's analysis right? Dr. Ken Regan disproved that "analysis" days ago, deeming it irrelevant, misleading, and WRONG.
The video you took the so called "better than Kasparov" has already been debunked. You can trick chessbase let's check feature by analysing it with a custom/modded engine and guess what Hans 100% games have been analysed by custom engines by GambitMan the same guy who put up the spreadsheet
Unbelievable! I have zero doubt that Hans has been cheating over the board. I've been playing chess for many years and its exceedingly rare that we see such a performance by anyone and much less an up and coming IM/GM. Hans went from IM to playing like A0 in a matter of months. I don't think so!!!
Hi. I also have zero doubt. Let's also consider the juxtaposition of this game with his recent trouncing in Miami where he scored zero points. The contrast is too too too much! The answer can only be engine ON, engine OFF! It is obvious and it is proof!
I love getting good insight and interesting questions regarding my native language, English, from non-native speakers. People for whom English is not their mother tongue, I've noticed, tend to offer a really unique point of view regarding syntax and usage that native speakers just might not consider.
I wonder what was the post interview for Hans on this game. I suppose something along the lines of "he messed up the opening" to "I don't have to show lines" to "chess speaks for itself''.
Agadmator, I've been watching you years. I don't if your system can tell when, at least 2018. When you stated English is not your first language, well I know you're from Croatia, but you English is fluent and completely conversational. I've lived in the states my whole life and I'm sure with your English skills you could be hired at any Croatian Consulate or Embassy.
If you haven't already, I implore you to read and listen to the valid criticisms of Yosha's methodology and conclusions. They deserve quite a bit more attention.
we have seen engines sacrificing material to restrict the opponents movement in many games. its not impossible or out of the ordinary as humans have adopted this style, but it is still "engine like" play.
That is typical engine move since it has no emotion. Human players will be very nervous to take that move, unless the game played just for fun or elo different is very high.
I hope that we can somehow use these tools to monitor LIVE events and stop it from happening again. The future of Chess needs developments to ensure our beloved sport stays honest 🤞🤞
I noticed this theme in many of Hans' games this year: throwing his pawns and knights down the king side with sometimes brilliant, sometimes botched results. That's very HUMAN, to play on a theme in game after game.
As Mihhail Tal said "There are two types of sacrifice: the correct ones and mine." He was lucky there were no engines back then, he would most certainly be called a cheater since he had unorthodox style by the standards of that era. Of course you'd have to cherry-pick mostly his wins since his losses were often as spectacular as his wins. You could even come to a conclusion that he very often played "above his level", if you consider him at his worst as his level.
@@weasel4915 See Abdullah's reply. I am not going to debate anyone on here, esp people that makeup "facts". Did you see video? Most GM's play top plays...that is how one beats other GMs, afterall.
exactly, people are so braindead for real. just because magnus said it, they would believe everything as if he literally is the god, like, why can't there be any possibility of anyone else being better of a player than magnus? "if someone is better than magnus he's cheating, let's fuck his career" SMH. this scandal made me believe how stupid and toxic these chess fans/nerds are, they pretend to love the game and humiliate another player as if he's not a human being and would never be feeling disappointed. even though the anti-cheating department confirmed so many times that he didn't cheat at all since he's playing professionally people will still speak shit outta their mouths because they know nothing more else than that. people just don't wanna accept that magnus did this outta frustration. and that there can be a player higher than him.
I don't understand why you wouldn't capture the g3 pawn at 6:03. I gave this position to Stockfish and it says it's the top move. My rating is barely 1000 and I was shocked that this wasn't played as I thought it's a no-brainer. Also weird that Antonio didn't even mention this, since the g3 pawn is the reason why the white king is trapped.
Not sure what stockfish you are using or what depth you are running it, but running stockfish 15 at depth of 20 or more the top three moves are Rf4, Rf5 and Nc2. Qxg3 is losing immediately to Nxf1.
@@fugglesme4186 Exactly my thoughts. Qxg3 seems to be the best move! and if kight to Nxf1, then either king captures knight or knight D2 captures on f1
@@fugglesme4186 Stockfish 14+ NNUE, depth 22 (lichess) Top move and line (-0.6): 1. Qxg3 Nxf1 2. Qg8+ Qf8 3. Qxh7 Nxd2 4. Bc2 O-O-O 5. Rd1 Ndf3+ 6. Nxf3 Nxf3+ 7. gxf3 d5 8. Bb3 Qc5+ After running it up until depth 47 (stopped after 11 hours lol) it seems that Qxg3 is only the 2nd best move and gives -0.9 advantage for black. Top move there is Rf5 (-0.8), but apparently after Bxf5, you still go Qxg3.
@@subbedgames6004 You get the rook back with Qg8+, though. Seems like a free knight for black after that (Nxd2), but after Bc2 and Rd1, black's knight is trapped. So white actually wins a pawn in this line.
In this game Hans reached 72% match with the engine moves. So from an engine perspective this is not too impressive. What impressive was that according to Yosha’s presentation, Hans reached 100% match in many of his games in last two years. While world champions could only reach that level only rarely. Magnus Carlsen only had 2 games at 100% match in his last 20 years.
Almost certain, no one will ever know if or how he cheated for 100%. Games for speed and record runs face the same issue, where yes, some things can be figured out like splicing (cutting a video together at a point it would not be noticed by simple observation), but other things are impossible to know, like for example just increasing your odds by 10% due to modification - though even that is also a so-so statement since some modifications were later figured out due to special frame behaviour in games. Okay, too much talk about game specifics. Point being if you dont have proof the moment someone cheats in a real time event like here, then your odds of actually proofing that he cheated IN THE EVENT or over board will be pretty much 0. That of course doesn't mean that there may be an event that leads to odds so against Niemann that the conclusion is he must have cheated somewhere somehow and that's enough to ban him or so, but given no one found anything so far I think it's unlikely unless he messes up or a security check comes into play that he didnt expect/know of and for whatever reason agrees to (though then again not doing the check also gives an obvious answer). So it will most likely stay at: We dont know
This game is completely insane. Trapping your own Knight with a foresight of next 20 moves or so is completely beyond human capability. If this game was played online then that explains 😅
@@vfwh actually I did, and I watched the original analysis using chessbase. Agadmator isn't giving any correlation percentages, and for Niemann that's 100% in this game. Even some of the best 2700 grandmasters will never play a 100% game in their life. Mishra only played 70++%
@@lib-center96 rather than correlation centipawn loss would allow to better judge how perfect they player. Correlation is an entirely useless stastic except to give an extremely rough idea. Where did you get these numbers from? Was it the same source? Also none of the evidence so far has incriminated Hans to a serious degree. BS maths and a vague statement by Carlsen. Either Carlsen can openly accuse him of cheating in the games they played, or someone can actually work out the maths properly and not turn this into a Dream situation. Don't throw around correlation willy nilly, a 100% correlation is far from a 100% perfect computer game.

In the era of debate, proof vs evidence is definitely something I can use in my travels, thank you agadmator. More studying to do.
If you think what prove is, it is always a decision to consider the evidence sufficient. Unless it is a trivial logical construction, but that carries no new knowledge
but don't go overboard. because proof is built from evidence, so the only practical use you'd have from the definition would basically be to point out inconclusive evidence, which im sure you were already doing, which really makes no difference in practical cases. you don't want to be the annoying one going around saying "that's not proof, that's evidence!"
Just wait until you folks get a hold of the idea of preponderance of evidence.

@@oscarwahlstrom5426 agreed, he leans more towards defending Hans than looking at it from strictly a stats perspective. I believe innocent until proven guilty but once chessbase showed the numbers, statistically there is no way he didnt play unfairly. In this game if i recall Hans got a 100% engine correlation and Mishra got 77%. i could be wrong i'm going by vague memory from when I watched the video. Awesome defense by Mishra, and if this was the only 100% game from Hans then it really is his best game of his life. However he has 10 100% games, where most top GMs dont even have 1. Very suspicious.
I remember this one young guy who made it his life's goal to beat the world champion. And when the day finally arrived he was so excited to explain how well he played. He was buzzing with enthusiasm and joy so keen to talk to the camera. And so with absolute excitement at achieving his lifes goal he stood in front of that camera. But in a strange turn of events he said in a grumpy, almost angry tone, "chess speaks for itself", and walked away. Then the audience asked, why was he angry after winning? A voice of judgement whispered, "he is angry because he sold his soul".
Define "facts" and we'll take you seriously. Until then, you'll remain a willfully naive ostrich.

There's neither proof, nor even much evidence in that video. The 1/34646 stuff is nonsense, the probability of those 5 results in some order correctly calculated is 1 in 289. Add in the 6th result and it becomes 1 in 106. The 100% correlation stuff is also unconvincing. Someone already did a similar comparison for Magnus and found 2 such games out of 98, which is a similar rate (10 out of 402 = 2.5 per hundred). And then it also turned out a lot more engines were used for the Hans analysis here. The more engines you use, the more 100% correlations you get. You end up with even more correlation than something like T3 (top 3 moves from a single engine), where 100% games aren't really all that uncommon with 2700 players.
So far the only guy with much statistical competence to do any analysis of Hans games has been Ken Regan, and he has found nothing suspicious. If other people want to try, they should at least follow a few basic rules:
1. Choose your criteria, what tests and measurements you plan to do, before looking at the data.
2. Then gather the needed data from multiple players; at least half a dozen players, with at least 50 game samples from each.
3. Then do the work of doing the predetermined tests and measurements in the same exact way for each player, including using the same software and engines, with the exact same settings, on the same hardware.
I've yet to see an analysis of this situation, from anyone other than Regan, which took these basic steps to avoid things like cherry picking, confirmation bias, or the post hoc probability fallacy (google Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy).
Thats the problem with our society . They dont understand the mathematical data and some basic logical principles in statistics and as a result are vulnerable to fake conclusions which appeals to their preconceived bias .

The question I asked myself was who would think of trapping their own knight so early with the plan of using it to trap the white king and essentially heading for an endgame where kings are much more useful than knights.

anyone else remember a few years ago when hans was playing hikaru online (and getting destoryed) and his heart rate went crazy high, to the point where he nearly passed out, and hikaru was told about it and stopped the game? that's why magnus' statement about hans not appearing stressed is very interesting. maybe he has just changed and matured so much recently, but he used to get VERY stressed while playing
You get used to it, when i first plaued against my IM coach i hyperventilated and had to go out to take a breather, after that it just became mpre and more normal, hans has played like 200 games in the past year i think, not surprising his nerves have got better.
That was his first opportunity to play him IIRC and it was also a tournament so he was freaking out. Cried when he lost, somehow convinced himself it was the only shot he'd ever have at playing a super GM.
You can't be stressed if you know you'll win thanks to an engine.

Maybe all this drama has merely served to expose a deep desire for controversy and drama inside the chess fan base.
Idk about that one, so far they've kept the drama more or less to Twitter
At the start of all this drama, I thought how the hell can he cheat, and that it was all sour grapes on Magnus's part. But chess speaks for itself, Hans playing better than Fisher, Kasparov, and Magnus, out of the blue. No way, it takes years to climb to that level.
I feel like everyone initially jumped on the "magnus is just butthurt" bandwagon, but it didn't make sense to me. Magnus has lost gracefully to many young players, and even praised them, like Esipenko last year. He's not the most humble guy (neither were Fischer or Kasparov), but he's always been a good sportsman. He also has a better understanding than most of us patzers of what humans and engines are capable of. I trust Magnus's assessment over the downvote brigade on r/chess.
hans games were analyzed eith more engines than Fischer's, Magnus', Kasparov's etc so the accuracy is affected you can't make these comparisons
the analysis you are referring is wrong and blatantly misleading. You are referring to Yosha's analysis right? Dr. Ken Regan disproved that "analysis" days ago, deeming it irrelevant, misleading, and WRONG.
The video you took the so called "better than Kasparov" has already been debunked. You can trick chessbase let's check feature by analysing it with a custom/modded engine and guess what Hans 100% games have been analysed by custom engines by GambitMan the same guy who put up the spreadsheet

The chess spoke for itself once again
If you haven't already, I implore you to read and listen to the valid criticisms of Yosha's methodology and conclusions. They deserve quite a bit more attention.
The Real question :
Can an human sacrifice the activity of one Knight in move 17 to lock the King for the endgame or is it out of Human brain reach ?
we have seen engines sacrificing material to restrict the opponents movement in many games. its not impossible or out of the ordinary as humans have adopted this style, but it is still "engine like" play.
I would say it’s pretty apparent that’s what’s going to happen, if you go back to the position where he made the knight move.
That is typical engine move since it has no emotion. Human players will be very nervous to take that move, unless the game played just for fun or elo different is very high.
A very "I'm not trapped in here with you, you're trapped in here with me!" kind of game.

So a person isnt allowed to play like an engine?
as cheating technology advances, security measures will have to become more invasive to counter them. this doesn't just apply to chess, either.
I noticed this theme in many of Hans' games this year: throwing his pawns and knights down the king side with sometimes brilliant, sometimes botched results. That's very HUMAN, to play on a theme in game after game.
As Mihhail Tal said "There are two types of sacrifice: the correct ones and mine."
He was lucky there were no engines back then, he would most certainly be called a cheater since he had unorthodox style by the standards of that era. Of course you'd have to cherry-pick mostly his wins since his losses were often as spectacular as his wins. You could even come to a conclusion that he very often played "above his level", if you consider him at his worst as his level.

Hans' knight: I'm not locked in here with you. You're locked in here with me!
I don't understand why you wouldn't capture the g3 pawn at 6:03. I gave this position to Stockfish and it says it's the top move. My rating is barely 1000 and I was shocked that this wasn't played as I thought it's a no-brainer. Also weird that Antonio didn't even mention this, since the g3 pawn is the reason why the white king is trapped.
Prob didn't wanna give up material, via knight taking his rook
Not sure what stockfish you are using or what depth you are running it, but running stockfish 15 at depth of 20 or more the top three moves are Rf4, Rf5 and Nc2. Qxg3 is losing immediately to Nxf1.

After running it up until depth 47 (stopped after 11 hours lol) it seems that Qxg3 is only the 2nd best move and gives -0.9 advantage for black. Top move there is Rf5 (-0.8), but apparently after Bxf5, you still go Qxg3.
@@subbedgames6004 You get the rook back with Qg8+, though. Seems like a free knight for black after that (Nxd2), but after Bc2 and Rd1, black's knight is trapped. So white actually wins a pawn in this line.
In this game Hans reached 72% match with the engine moves. So from an engine perspective this is not too impressive. What impressive was that according to Yosha’s presentation, Hans reached 100% match in many of his games in last two years. While world champions could only reach that level only rarely. Magnus Carlsen only had 2 games at 100% match in his last 20 years.
and no game had 45 moves or more with 100%
Almost certain, no one will ever know if or how he cheated for 100%.
Games for speed and record runs face the same issue, where yes, some things can be figured out like splicing (cutting a video together at a point it would not be noticed by simple observation), but other things are impossible to know, like for example just increasing your odds by 10% due to modification - though even that is also a so-so statement since some modifications were later figured out due to special frame behaviour in games. Okay, too much talk about game specifics. Point being if you dont have proof the moment someone cheats in a real time event like here, then your odds of actually proofing that he cheated IN THE EVENT or over board will be pretty much 0. That of course doesn't mean that there may be an event that leads to odds so against Niemann that the conclusion is he must have cheated somewhere somehow and that's enough to ban him or so, but given no one found anything so far I think it's unlikely unless he messes up or a security check comes into play that he didnt expect/know of and for whatever reason agrees to (though then again not doing the check also gives an obvious answer).
So it will most likely stay at: We dont know
This game is completely insane. Trapping your own Knight with a foresight of next 20 moves or so is completely beyond human capability. If this game was played online then that explains 😅
100 percent is so amazing, it's almost as if Hans is AlphaZero made flesh!
Did you watch till the end?

@@vfwh actually I did, and I watched the original analysis using chessbase. Agadmator isn't giving any correlation percentages, and for Niemann that's 100% in this game. Even some of the best 2700 grandmasters will never play a 100% game in their life. Mishra only played 70++%
@@lib-center96 rather than correlation centipawn loss would allow to better judge how perfect they player. Correlation is an entirely useless stastic except to give an extremely rough idea. Where did you get these numbers from? Was it the same source?
Also none of the evidence so far has incriminated Hans to a serious degree. BS maths and a vague statement by Carlsen. Either Carlsen can openly accuse him of cheating in the games they played, or someone can actually work out the maths properly and not turn this into a Dream situation. Don't throw around correlation willy nilly, a 100% correlation is far from a 100% perfect computer game.
