Guys let’s be fair. Hans is a revolutionary, the way he got demolished by Carlson and Nakamura was revolutionary. I’ve never seen anything like that after so much boasting. Seriously this interview was legendarily painful to watch.
Hans problem is, he's trying to play the villain and use it to up his profile etc to make more money. Trying to become a sort of love him or hate him style character. The problem is he's so bad at it. Just comes across arrogant and rude and his attempts at jokes are cringe. He'd have been better off admitting guilt and wiping the slate clean and just playing chess and letting it speak for itself. Because he's clearly an amazing player.
Hans doesnt even have the balls to watch Levy in the eyes. He admires the walls while talking to him. Huge sign of dissrespect. Hans is just a spoiled brat which thinks everything in the world is about him and thinks he is much more intelligent than he actually is
Chess players often feel like they spent so much of their childhood focused on a boardgame they never developed people skills. Also, Hans was at a critical age for social development (16-17) during lockdown, and I believe he was living alone already at that age. We're watching an adult with the social development of a 15 year old. It's painful to watch.
Hans is smart, but he is immature and probably has felt cornered for the last 2 years, he's in a constant state of fight or flight. At least so far he has chosen fight, many people would have quit when it seemed the whole world was against him.
Imagine calling yourself a revolutionary while also admitting you've cheated several times in the same sport of which you think of yourself a revolutionary
I dont like Hans too. But for an excuse you dont need to say the word sorry. You can say it in different ways. He said it many times that it was a stupid mistake and that he learned from that. For me this excuse is enough.
@@HeMa0476 for some cultures the word sorry is more important than for others tho. Saying it was a mistake is no indication that you feel sorry for the people you affected. But either way, I really don't care that much about this.
I've seen 12year olds with much more respect and more articulate speech... oh, and not cheating at chess also! Levi was great in this interview being disrespected but still being professional and conducting a good interview, if that's even possible with such an immature person.
@@youtubecensoringcomments7427 Hans was being an upset little shit because no one apologized to him so Levy just threw that back at him that he didn't apologize for cheating either
Hans Nieman reminds of Anakin Skywalker right before he turned to the dark side. He thinks everyone is against him, and that he is the only one who knows the truth.
3:25 being punished is not the same taking responsibility, especially not when you were saying cheating is okay in video games, so why not in chess. (btw video game cheaters do get cancelled for cheating so Hans's idea of cheating is bad as hell). the whole time hans has been refusing to acknowledge that his cheating was bad, trying to underplay it like it's not a big deal. That is the OPPOSITE of "sorry". The ban was a punishment, it was not taking responsibility.
And exactly because of that it is very very very VERY unlikely that one day he wakes up and becomes a legit player for life. In order for ppl to change their behaviour, they first need to change their personality, otherwise why bother? So his coincidental rise over 250 elo points in 1,5 years right after his last recorded online cheating after being stuck at 2400-2450 for years before....the probability of him being legit in classical is next to zero....
@@emperorsascharoni9577 cheating online prized events is bad especially for the other chess players who were making a living out of it and "earning" the titles in his cheating era
"I have taken responsibility, I have suffered consequences" - suffering consequences and apologizing are not the same thing. You suffer consequences because the system found you guilty, you apologize because YOU consider YOURSELF guilty. He still thinks he's done nothing wrong. Just delusional!!
There are two options. You can ban people that cheat, or you can give them a warning and ban if they are caught again. Neither of that requires to guilt trip a person, or put him on his knees and make him cry for forgiveness or something like that. He did an action = he suffered consequences. You can argue if consequences were bad enough or not, but requiring him to be "more apologetic" is just non-productive in professional life and toxic in personal life.

@@spicy7302 As an interviewer it was levy's responsibility not to let it get to him. Its ok that he responded by taking it personally. But that means "He didn't handle it perfectly!"
@@spicy7302 It would have been much more professional if he had not put himself on the same level as Hans. Also saying "I totally get it man" to a person who clearly has a vendetta against you is not a good move, It can sound condesending to that person, that's why Hans interrupt him after that, he got mad from that, its not a good idea even if you want to lighten the mood, makes things worse usually. He did handled this pretty well imo, but far from perfect. Either way, Hans wasn't there to have a civil conversetion so it doesn't really matter.
I wasn't sure if Hans cheated as an adult. Now I am. Punishment isn't taking responsibility; it's the consequence of getting caught cheating. Responsibility is learning your lesson the first time. If you get caught a third time you have issues regarding a lack of self awareness and understanding how your actions affect others. Sadly, there is a whole social and political movement based around normalizing shady and entitled behaviors despite reality.
Yeah Hans has higher accuracy in games than Magnus or Hikaru. It's clear he cheated multiple times. I've also seen this so often in online games - a guy gets caught cheating - then admits to cheating "once or twice". Then eventually is found to have cheated 100s of times
I mean I don't like him but he's not exactly lying is he? He's around 20 not sure exactly and already has been beating some of the top gms in the world, like you can dislike him and think he's got an ego but if he's got the evidence to back that ego then it's a cry about it kinda deal 😭
3:00 Hans makes a Freudian slip! He says no one can sow any doubt about his strength, then goes on to specify by saying his “real strength.” Why would anybody have to clarify they were speaking about their real strength unless they’ve used tools to enhance their strength in a game? Then he kind of pauses afterwards. It’s subtle but it’s there!
No that makes no sense, he even corrects himself saying just "strength". Its connected to his statement right before performing at 2800 in classical and his "real strength" being about that, while his strength aka. todays elo at 2700, isnt reflecting that.
Serving a 6 month ban isn’t taking responsibility. It’s forced. That’s like saying serving jail time is taking responsibility for your actions. No, you got arrested and sentence to jail, and were required by law to be there.
Saying you take full responsibility is not apologizing. Saying youre sorry is hard to do as a prideful man, particularly when you dont feel sorry. Saying you take full reaponsibility is a way of trying to make you look strong, its teenager shit. Kids just actin his age

Levy handled this interview so well. he stayed calm and TRIED to make it an interview and we got to see Hans sabotaging himself as always. Levi gave him so many chances to retrieve himself a little but no, it seems like Hans never thinks twice before he says/writes something in the internet. i've lost all respect to Hans ever since his "apology" video regarding the hotel incident where it can be summed up with "i'm still young so i'm allowed to make mistakes" and not being able to say sorry without "but" even once throughout the 40 minutes.
Hans is insufferable. Calls himself brave, talks about himself in the same ilk as revolutionaries, meanwhile he doesn’t even have the bravery to look Levy in the eye. What a child.
Remember this is the guy whose slogan is, “Let the chess speak for itself”. Then when people bring up that fact that he cheated, he sues them for a 100 million dollars.
Hans Niemann gotta be the corniest, cringiest child I've ever seen. He acts like a privileged 10-year old who got spoiled by his parents when growing up. Respect to Levy for not putting him in timeout
He mentioned several times that his inspiration is Raymond Reddington of Blacklist, the criminal willing to bend rules and cheat to be great, always thinking of himself as the good guy. I truly believe he will never say sorry because he is not sorry. As he said, he acknowledged his responsibility, he acknowledged that he cheated, but he is not sorry: he is only sorry that he was caught.
Conducting an interview with an antagonistic subject is HARD. Levy is extremely good at this, like, could genuinely have a TV career completely independent of chess.
The more i watch of Hans the more he convinces me he is a grandiose narcissist. Not one ounce of any humility displayed at any point, purely ego-driven, confuses stoicism and confidence with just arrogance, and is borderline delusional about his own skills. Believes serving a forced punishment for cheating is 'taking responsibility' - he did not have a choice, therefore it is not taking any responsibility. He is avoiding eye contact at all times because registering Levy's affect would stifle his ability to conjure a web of deceit quickly (this explains why he is always stuttering to get his arguments out quickly). And this is what a narcissist often will think convinces others of their lies - fast and superficially well-constructed retorts must surely be convincing. They severely underestimate everyone else's ability to easily see through their bullshit, but they spin so many different points of bullshit that the energy required to refute most of them is just exhausting. They can never truly see themselves from anyone else's perspectives because they are too engrossed in their own, but some just learn to fake it better than others.
Translation of Hans: I’m not sorry because I served a 6 month ban after getting caught cheating. Let’s talk about how I’m awesome!!! 🙌 my greatness !1!!! Villain vibes
Sorry Hans. Facing consequences is not the same thing as taking responsibility. If you can't even say sorry, then I don't blame people for suspecting that you're still cheating.

The more i watch of Hans the more he convinces me he is a grandiose narcissist. Not one ounce of any humility displayed at any point, purely ego-driven, confuses stoicism and confidence with just arrogance, and is borderline delusional about his own skills. Believes serving a forced punishment for cheating is 'taking responsibility' - he did not have a choice, therefore it is not taking any responsibility. He is avoiding eye contact at all times because registering Levy's affect would stifle his ability to conjure a web of deceit quickly (this explains why he is always stuttering to get his arguments out quickly). And this is what a narcissist often will think convinces others of their lies - fast and superficially well-constructed retorts must surely be convincing. They severely underestimate everyone else's ability to easily see through their bullshit, but they spin so many different points of bullshit that the energy required to refute most of them is just exhausting. They can never truly see themselves from anyone else's perspectives because they are too engrossed in their own, but some just learn to fake it better than others.
New to the chess world. Hans seems more and more like a douche bag.
Hans the type of personality MAGA people got, its crazy 😂
hans is such a clown i can't watch extended interviews of him, it's simply too cringe
It must be sad to wake up every day and be forced to be Hans Niemann. It's understandably pissed.
Hans Niemann really isn't a good person.
Translation of Hans:
I’m not sorry because I served a 6 month ban after getting caught cheating.
Let’s talk about how I’m awesome!!! 🙌 my greatness !1!!!
Villain vibes
Sorry Hans. Facing consequences is not the same thing as taking responsibility. If you can't even say sorry, then I don't blame people for suspecting that you're still cheating.
My glorious king Levy thank you for standing your ground
= NO :D Never said sorry and for 1000% not cheated twice as he falsely claims. It is hard to trust a liar. Ever.
Damn, Levy handled this so well. Respect
Hans is never going to accomplish anything with this attitude.
The only thing I like about Hans Niemann is that his first name is the same as *Hans Gruber* ...
Why is Hans trying to make it sound like he had a choice in being banned or not, and also that it's somehow proof of him "taking responsibility"? 😂😂😂
A cheater not revolutionary
How exactly is this guy a revolutionary?
Let the interview speak for itself
Revolutionaries? Chill out man, you are a chess player
Has anyone apologized fir falsely accusing, banning him and turning the Internet on him ? Lol
I was starting to like Hans, but after this interview I realized that he's not just trolling, he's actually not quite well mentally I think
His apology did not speak for itself...
This felt less like an interview but rather levy defending himself while highlighting hans worst acts. Where is the listening?
I love Levy even more now. Those are some heavy kicks to the nuts. As for the Hans guy, this guy will never reach the levels he thinks he will, mark my words.
Chess speaks for itself.
Levy trying to start drama the entire interview. Really man.
Unironically calling yourself revolutionary is probably the cringiest thing you can do.
the attitude speaks for itself
0:53 " Most chess players are not a good interview , they say all the same thing all the time and they probably will not help the sport grow " 🎯
You show up here and accuse me of t-
Hans: I speak the truth
