      It's because, like Magnus Carlsen, she thinks like an engine. Was there sexism? Probably, but I wouldn't immediately close with that conclusion.

    • @nickanthropocene6502
      @nickanthropocene6502 3 роки тому +243

      @Cristian Prodan A conclusion is final. I'm only guessing. I'm guessing there was sexism because no other chess player has been accused of cheating on such absurd reasoning. I state it as a guess and not a closed conclusion because I understand that there may have been factors other than just "she was a woman, who won, therefor cheating." But I definitely think that that's a big part of it, though I could be wrong. I just don't like it when people play the sexist card without any further consideration. As for why everything has to be about sex or race? Well, I was responding more to Beitno (who made it about sexism) than to Ly (who made it about rank). And to answer your last question, I think it depends on the circumstances. Often the boss is racist, but sometimes the black guy in question is just a bad employee.

      For the record, it was super suspicious that she kept going to the bathroom and leaving the board with her lip balm. We’re talking like 70s level tech btw with the lip balm being a one way induction receiver. You can’t be that accurate AND make engine style moves while doing that without raising suspicion and someone complaining. I mean a gm offered her an early draw from a non losing position because he thought she was using an engine. You would only do that if you were pretty sure because the engine only snowballs as the game goes on where as a normal person makes decisions

      2. no, she didnt have a winning streak against a series of +400 players. it was a range of around +350 to -300, and it was win draw and loss.
      3. elo rating is irrelevant if you capitalize on a mistake. even a 2600 player can make a 1800 blunder, and as 2200 player, you then capitalize on that. bauer himself confirmed this and even identified his mistake."

    I know this is pale in comparison. My older brother was the family's genius and how he could do no wrong in mathematics ect. He was huge on the chess scene in high school and did the local and state stuff. When he would get home from work at night, he would drag me out of bed and demand me play him because he had no one to play. I'm in 3rd grade, then 4th grade, ect. This went on and most of the time, I only understood the basics, i never knew there was strategy to it. I never beat him until, as my younger brother calls it, "The Day". I was in 8th grade and I spent that whole yearly, playing everyone at my school, working on the perfect trap. I played teachers, students, and parents, anyone that would sit down. It was springtime and I was home from school, my older brother got home from his job, he was already halfway through his first beer and told me to set it up. My younger brother told me it was like watching Rocky touching gloves to Apollo. It all hinged on me getting to my 4th or 5th move to have him in this trap. It was this full on blitz from the flanks that I have never tried on him before and honestly, it was silly to try it. But...When I was able to land my 5th move perfectly and the board just opened up the way I day dreamed about it a billion times... He looked up at me and said "Oh, you came to play for once, now it's a game". Few moves later, I had him in checkmate and to this day, he swears I cheated somehow. I never played chess with him again, I'm like 1-9000-0 lifetime against him, but it's that 1 win...ruined his perfect record. An 8th grader beating a 23 year old. I mean, if you think about it, i'm on a winning streak against him and he's on a losing streak against me... lol

Good thing that Christian Bauer was one of the good people (among the many in the tournament) who didn't believe the accusations of her cheating. The sportsmanship and respect probably calmed her 20-year old version then and thus this beautiful game. Totally gonna show this to my friends (can't go to the bar or the library though).

      There's nothing wrong with being suspicious when events are suspicious, and voicing that. It's how you catch cheaters. Jumping a 400 point rating gap is pretty suspicious. But there needs to be evidence following that in order to maintain your suspicion. When you don't find the evidence even after carefully monitoring her, holding her belongings while she plays, etc, it's time to shut up. Furthermore, the fact that she was playing non-engine moves and still winning means either she's legit, or she's the most talented cheater of all time. Pretty unlikely you'd run into the greatest chess cheater of all time at some random chess tournament, don't you think?

    So many comments here talk about her being rated "400 points lower than her competition." Initially I accepted that claim, but it is simply not accurate. If she _had_ been so much lower rated than her competition, this would indeed be highly suspicious.
    In fact, none of her opponents were 400 points higher in rating. At the time of this competition, her rating was 2293. Her five wins were against:
    Christian Bauer, 2634 (+341),
    Cyril Marzolo, 2478 (+185),
    Colomban Vitoux, 2394 (+101),
    Vera Nebolsina, 2349 (+56),
    Nicolas Chobaut, 2001 (-291).
    She scored draws against a 2488 (+195) and 2463 (+170) and losses against a 2512 (+219) and 2469 (+176).
    This is still an excellent performance, but it puts the "She beat four 2700s" claim in perspective.
    I don't think she cheated. Those who complained (one of whom never even faced her in the tournament) were showing the petulance and pettiness that is unfortunately common in the chess world, especially at the NM/IM level, where making a living as a professional chess player is extremely difficult.

    For the record, Stockfish 9, the world champion chess computer software, recommends a different move from the one that Ms. Rudolf played on the following occasions: moves 4, 5, 8, 9, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 27, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 45, 47, 48, 50, 51, 52, 53, 55, 57, 58, 59, 60, and 65. In other words, 33 of her 65 moves were not what Stockfish recommends. (Bear in mind that of the remaining 32 moves, plenty were forced: recapturing the rook, recapturing the queen, etc.)
    An excellent game by Ms. Rudolf.

    It's incredible how much of sexism there is in chess... Can you imagine someone accuses Hikaru of hiding chess engine in his bongcloud?

      Is there any evidence of this being due to sexism and not the rating disparity?

      What evidence do you expect there to be that exposes sexism in particular? Unless someone yells something completely sexist, which is pretty unnatural in such environment, you can only see a pattern.
      Perhaps focus on the fact that she was treated as guilty by her accusers, who never got any evidence that she cheated. Since evidence and accusations are very important for you.
