You gotta acknowledge Vishy tho, 93% accuracy against an engine, that's insane play by him, even in a simul
True. Scary though how a super GM can do that.
And he could've played for a flag.
Only 13 seconds was remaining for Vishy 's opponent
Yeah Vishy is probably the worst player ever.

@@ravingredraven exactly. You have the opportunity to play one of the best of all time and you use a damn computer. I dont get it.
@@Fluxion11 Yeah.
actually beating him as an 800 rated player makes one look way dumber than losing, because he is so bad he doesn't realise he has 0% chance to win. He probably thought people would think he is some sort of genius, but doesn't realise no one can play like that without a lot of training.
I still don't understand what kind of ego that guy had. Carlsen beat Bill Gates in 9 moves and they were so cool with it.
what if carlsen would let bill beat him in 2?
It's funny because literally no one would fault you for losing badly to a GM.

Doesn't matter if your rich, you don't cheat in chess.
You copy bong cloud and you hang your queen on the sixth move.
and you blame levy for not teaching uploading enough chess principles.
that's how you play. :P
Indeed, even offering a draw on move 3 could make more sense.
Pa kiss nico david
Exactly, other good moves he could do is blame lag. Or blame the clock cause he didn't have enough time also reasonable.
To draw or not to draw. Winning is out of the question.

Funny story ... I played a 2400 in one of my games I was1600. I was white. After 24 moves in a sicilian. He won, he complimented my game and analyzed a few moves. I was thrilled. That's what Nikhil will never have.
It's like getting a chance to take on the heavyweight boxing champion and learn from the experience, and without the brain trauma. Terrible decision.
To a narcissist who can’t stand losing, he wouldn’t give a shit about that experience. He only wanted the bragging rights of winning.
Yeah but if you had won, would the master have been as nice? Lol.
@Braeden Sanders Why are you so bothered by people having interests
@Braeden Sanders that's right. Go outside you homeless freak
I played a GM once in a simul.
I didn't cheat.
he told me (after his victory, of course) that I was one of the tougher nuts to crack.
I never felt better after losing a game of chess.
If I had cheated that day, I'd think back to that in shame. Now I can thing back to that day with pride.

That's like a kid bluffing he isn't cheating
It's obvious lol any normal human being including newbies (except if you don't know they move) will know it's a stupid move
Yes, that's what his big brain came up with.
No that's how he played before they got the engine running.
Yeah, I used to use that trick in third grade lol
I'm a 1600 player and once I defeated a FM in a bullet game, not just by time flag, a real positional win. That was the second greatest day in my amateur chess journey, because the greatest day was when I had the chance to play Hikaru and get slaughtered in like 10 moves. It was awesome.
That's awesome! Can I see the games if you are okay with that? I also play chess (2150 lichess blitz, around 1900 chesscom blitz), I've only beat a FM on time flag once, got a draw before too, never got a chance to play a GM even once although been playing chess 20+ years. Beat NM almost a dozen times though, only a couple in real life OTB though.

This is how insecure Nikhil is: He cheats at chess to not appear stupid. Then when he realizes how profoundly stupid that was, he deflects the blame to everyone else by basically saying "If you for even one move believed I was for real, you are the moron in this situation. How you feel about this is actually your fault, because you were not smart enough to just know I was going to cheat. Might even be your fault that I chose to cheat."
What a sad man.. Oh well.
yup deflection by sociopaths who do anything for fame and money
@@iMobinator bro, please please don't defame sociopaths
Lol
What i find funny from this is the whole purpose of him cheating. He needs to find a way to maintain his pride in order to boast his ego but made himself look like a pathetic loser to the chess world instead.
People who mess up big time and when they get caught try to sell it as 'it was a joke' 'i was sarcastic' are the lowest scumbags of earth.
He's youngest billionaire in India therefore he just wanted to fool people into believing that he's smart AF but it turned out to be his biggest blunder.

The other side of the coin here is that this incident revealed why people love and admire Vishy - he has so much class, integrity, and grace. Forget the cheaters, they only made themselves look small and insecure, while Anand came out looking like the champion he is.
Indeed, very true.

@@msaocer Yep! As Shakespeare said, "The Fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool."
Vishy resigning was such a good move by him. he doesnt need to call him a cheater, he does just enough to make the situation obvious to everyone
outstanding move
That's how legends pull reverse cards
"In this position vishy played the only winning move in order to show that nikhil was cheating, the chess engine calls this resign a brilliant move but can't understand the true big brain moment of this"
He could have flag him but he prefer resign what a gentleman this Vishy
His ban got removed 🤣🤣
Anand has and always will be one of the classiest world champions.
Imagine if Vishy beat him. He would’ve won against a computer and no one would ever know.
He had a chance to win on time but he resigned to expose that cheater.
People would definitely know from the game
No we would know lol
That would probably happen if it weren't a simul and vishy has focus all his attention on that particular game, especially bcuzhe deliberately made an error on move 1 and i think the engine he uses is probably not the highest level like the 3550 stockfish. More like the ones you can use on a phone 2800 stockfish
They would still know he was cheating
This is definitely the most embarassing moments of Nikhil's life. He deserved it.
He should have just played Magnus's Bong cloud opening, lost horribly, and then publicly state that he didn't understand how he lost he was playing the current Meta. Or if he absolutely had to cheat to not get humiliated, throw the game at some point, turn the engine off and Vishy stomps him just by being outright better.
LOL you think he gives af about the chess community? he's got f-you money and will keep doing what he's doing.
@@electronicjo1 he does give a f about chess as this is why he apologized . And who tf u r his lawyer or his fish?
@@AbhishekKumar-de2dj you're defending his half-assed apology? who's the fish exactly? No he doesn't care about the chess community as demonstrated by the complete lack of understanding of the impact of cheating in a charity event. It's only the social media backlash that he understands. It's not going to be at all embarrassing for him.
@@AbhishekKumar-de2dj to summarize, he's a narcissist, he doesn't have the ability to feel embarrassment. In his mind, everyone is to blame except himself.
Viswanathan Anand resigning is a Big brain move, if he had flagged the guy some people would've been satisfied "hah, lost even after cheating" but by deliberately losing he shined a spotlight on this event and brought in the most attention
While it's certainly true that Vishy sir figured out his opponent was cheating, I doubt he resigned to "expose" the cheat. He is one of the most graceful players and human beings, he saw his position was lost and resigned. Nothing more, nothing less. Even if his opponent had 0.1 second on the clock and was _not_ cheating, that's what he would have likely done.
This was not cool, as an Indian chess lover felt really sad when Vishy resigned.
Levy, watching your videos since a year, it's very very clear, NEVER Cheat at CHESS! Otherwise what's the point 🙏
But that shows how much of gentleman is vishy that he resigned and didn't flagged him
Viswanathan Anand resigned when he had 7 mins on clock just to expose Nikhil so that this issue could get into more limelight. No other move would have got the guy in as much trouble as resigning did.
It was a masterstroke by vishy as Nikhil's plan was to outplay Vishy and get flagged in the end. Vishy on the other hand, had something else planned in his mind...
Didn't expect my finance guru here

I mean he's basically an Indian finance bro. Finance bros don't know what an apology is
Hahaa savage 🔥🔥
"...the graciousness of Anand to treat the games as a learning experience."
Yes, and i'm sure Vishy was deeply honoured and humbled that the billionaire took the time out to assist in the 5 times world champ's chess education.
"It was a fun experience upholding the ethics of the game." - Anand
"I learned that billionaires have no concept of ethics." -Anand
"Why can't we have nice things :(" - Anand
Well, it was better for his patience and class to keep composure instead of calling the cheater a bitch
In an attempt to Not Look Foolish, I think Nikhil Kamath shows how profoundly foolish he is for thinking the chess community of the World would not figure this out.
Lol more foolish that a 400 rated will play move with this tactical understanding 🤣. At last he proved he a jerk and people should get out trading through his company because he will cheat you anyway.
Basically a Streisand effect-type action
Bill Gates lost with grace against Magnus. All good. Nobody thought he was an idiot
😂😂😂
Coz being billionaire doesn't mean u r good in chess🙄🤷🏻♀️
Bcz it's Bill Gates not someone who wants publicity in any form be it negative.
So true
That was an interesting match. You could tell how nervous Gates was. It's pretty cool when the richest man in the world recognizes his inferiority to some young dude from Norway. There's no reason to be nervous unless you respect Magnus and unless you respect chess. My respect for Gates went up even though he crashed and burned in the game.

This is the most pertinent question. From what I understand his company is not really known to be an ethical company, then again most fintech companies these days are like that. He runs a discount brokerage firm, whenever there are big movements in the market his customers find it real hard to make important trades, some say this is a capacity issue others say this is often intentional reason being his company being in with those likely to benefit. As someone who has had some experience with some other similar firms I lean more towards the latter explanation.
Being a billionaire is, on its own, an ethically questionable choice.
Not that I have any power in this world whatsoever, nor do I have any business expertise, but if I was on a board of directors, I would be bringing this to the table to have a frank discussion of replacing the CEO. You can’t fire an owner, but you can strip them of their control of the levers of power. How disgusting do you have to be to so blatantly and publicly cheat, and post such a half-assed “I thought everyone knew I was using an engine.”
@@randomrandom316 "these days". Companies have never been ethical in human history. The richest people in the world have always been earning their wealth by screwing over the workers in every way imaginable, all why cheating in various ways. If you think that it is only today's companies are unethical you need a history lesson. In 19th century, people were working 12 hours per day, in terrible working conditions, no safety, no days off, no health care, no anything while their employers were swimming in money and while their employers would buy the politicians to implement the laws that they want and lobby the politicians to go to wars with other countries (see banana wars for instance).
So??

Arey sir aap bhi chess follow karte ho. Nice! :)
Exactly karaan even u said things on similar lines
Yoo ksm
My take is that the cheater’s first move and loss of pawn was deliberate and designed - this way one would not get 100% accuracy, right Mr. Billionaire?
yea right
I mean, do you really think this guy became a billionaire by playing by the rules?
Vishy is one of the nicest people in chess. His commentary, his games, and his longevity are all beyond elite and he is one of the best chess minds of all time and probably everyone on earth can learn something from him. You dont get that opportunity very often. And to cheat during your one and probably only opportunity is very sad.
The problem is that he doesn't give a a F about Anand and he doesn't think that its an opportunity and its because he is an effing BILLIONAIRE He doesn't have to be concerned about some board game.
Having said that I think what he did was wrong but its understandable to some degree as to why did he cheat

The mindset of the super rich. For many, many years.... this is exactly what I have seen from people with money. They don't care if they cheat. They have money. They feel entitled. Their mindset is completely different than what is to be considered normal. Their apology will always be hollow. Because they are the Super Rich and that makes them feel they are above all others.
@@suyashsingh9865 merit can make you comfortably wealthy, but you dont become a billionaire from zero without cheating others. Taking advantage of workers, investing in shady businesses, lobbying and manipulating others, etc.

@KEEP UP TheBeat But he chose to respect the chess board and position by choosing to resign in "losing game AS EVALUATED BY THE ENGINE". True class of Vishy Sir.🙏🙏👏
Vishy:"Its okay if they try to blitz me, but its ridiculous if I try to blitz them and not win on position"
if vishy would have flagged and won then all of this wouldn't have happened and Nikhil would have got away after cheating. i think vishy very well knew players who used unfair means because of his comments on games later
Resigning was a God move by Vishy, imo. If Vishy flagged him, that guy would probably go and brag to his rich friends how he got an amazing winning position against the legend himself and how he would have beaten Vishy if not for the effed up time situation.

I just love how Levy is so responsible and is aware of what people will do and does his best to try to stop the bad things from happening.
I think the saddest part about this story is that this was at a charity event. What Nikhil did was incredibly shameless and it's sad that he deflected the blame and didn't properly apologize for what he did.
Even sad part was a much more famous celebrity named Kichcha sudeep was also banned. Nobody speak up against him as he is more powerful.

Doesn't matter if Nikhil is a billionaire, actions speak louder than words. His ethics and values are out in the open.
As a relatively new comer to chess, it's considered lucky for me to first learn GM Vishy Anand in this event, by resigning respectfully to a cheater, although he had lost this particular chess game on the board, he had won a place in my heart. That is a move that only a true CHAMPION is able to do. Huge RESPECT to GM Vishy Anand.
"It's OK because I never intended to get away with it." Intriguing defense...
This was charity, it was all done for content and getting more viewers. I can't disagree with that "cheating". It was so obvious that I seriously don't want to believe a billionaire is that dumb to think he could even get away. He definitely intended to get caught but at least get lots of viewers for the charity event. I've seen other streamers even throw for content during chess tournaments, where they blatantly state they actually threw for content, because it will get more views, I've also seen Hikaru throw a queen for content.
This is pretty common, I dunno why they are so butthurt, the guy even stated in a tweet he could never beat the champion obviously.
@@yunsha9986 This is what I assumed when I heard this. You're doing this for charity, you're doing this for more views, you're doing this for content.
Now, if Vishy wasn't informed ahead of time, that's a bit scummy. But IIRC Nikhil got scholars mated like a week before this, so for him to lose that early in a game to a classic strategy and then go on to play like this isn't even trying to hide. It's just trying to entertain.
bottom line though, if that was going to happen, then everyone involved needed to know.
It's kinda funny to me the rationalizations some people are willing to make to defend the scummy actions of random billionaires. He didn't do it for charity, just attention. He has billions of dollars to donate if he wants to support charity, not whatever this stunt was.
Damage control gambit: Refuted
@@yunsha9986 "Throwing" vastly different from not upholding the moral values of the game man. He just did it for attention/his own amusement. Pretty damn sure he wasn't doing that with charity in mind.
Imagine cheating against your very own national hero.... What a disgrace.
😂 😂
Exactly. As an Indian, I'm embarrassed and ashamed that we have such disgusting people with such disgusting mindset in our country. Also, during the post-match interview, Nikhil wasn't even interested to discuss the game(for obvious reasons). For so many of us chess lovers in India, it's still a dream to just meet Vishwanath Anand, let alone play an entire game. This dude got the chance to do so, and messed up. Pathetic. But on the other hand, we also got to witness the greatness of our beloved Vishy Sir when he resigned, and also when he didn't want to be involved in this controversy. For me he won the game. In fact he would have won if this wasn't a simul. People should also be talking about this, how Vishy Sir was able to put up a 92% accuracy game against an engine in a simul 💯💯🔥. Legend ❤️❤️.

aka Stockfish vs AlphaZero
both also have the same first letter in their surname
"Kipas VS Kamath"
Coming back to this video months later. Truly a respectable thing to take a situation like this and try to make it not only a learning experience for everyone involved and aware, but also a positive thing where it gives opportunity for something good to come out of it. The damage lies with the disrespect to Vishy because undeniably this is disrespectful, but maybe we can give this young billionaire the benefit of the doubt and allow him to claim ignorance. That being said, this situation is not new anymore, and I haven’t looked into it, but I hope it was remedied with a more sincere apology and some actual reflection.
This video just blows my mind seeing Levy doing his Life Coach thing. Just shows what a well-rounded person he must be.
*Turns out Nikhil's EGO was greater than Anand's ELO*
LOL! That's perfect
Just a fantastic post! Couldn't agree more.
Lol
Lol lol
Zing
Vishy shows how he's the bigger person here
He could've flagged, he could've even accused nikhil of cheating, (my man nikhil lost to a 800 the day before) but he didn't, he was the bigger man and resigned. He even said that it was okay if the other players flagged him, but it was childish if he would've done it.
Respect vishy ✌️
He probably resigned to spotlight the game and uncover the truth. For sure he knew his opponent was cheating
@Big Medic 100%. If he flagged him and didn't lose, the game would have flown under the radar.
Vishy is one of the greats. Amazing chess player and amazing human being. Definitely respect to Vishy.
@@sgt391 Nah, I don't think he resigned to bring this to spotlight. Vishy is old school (read, idealistic) in situations such as these...and even if his opponent was not cheating, I think he would have resigned, as positionally, he was lost. That's just the kind of person he is.
its really shameful......never thought someone will cheat with vishy sir......
Got a lot of time for Levy. Always very thoughtful in the things he says. Fairly new to your channel but love watching your videos man. Still catching up on all the guess the ELOs.
I mean there is no shame in losing to vishy. I'd be glad to lose to him everyday thinking I atleast got to play with him.. Why?. This is disgusting
His plan was not to win, he wanted to lose on time.
@@normalohio8421 iT waS VishY's FAUlt HE ReSignED
But you're not a crazy narcissistic billionaire
@@YellowSpaceMarine 😂😂😂
@@normalohio8421 then he would have just run out his clock.
Makes me wonder, If he had the stomach to cheat in a "fun" event for CHARITY, how much cheating has he also done on his way to amassing his wealth.
Every time these billionaires meet with politicians to tilt government policy in their favor they are cheating. How do you think they become billionaires in the first place? Imagine seating a poker table trying to play with someone who constantly gets favors from the dealer.
That's a good question. You should ask it about every billionaire.
You don't acquire a billion dollars through honest means. You acquire it by leveraging the power you already have to accumulate more power, rinse, and repeat.
@@SexOverThePhone1 It's kind of rhetorical bud. I'm not that naive. LOL =D
@@MrSupernova111 true story
Who are here after total gaming ajjubhai cheating against gamerfleet 😂😂
It’s a very interesting perspective that cheating in chess is a reasonable thought. I’ve never considered that it’s like having the answers to the test before you take it. Thank you for your input Levy ❤️
Hence, basically vishy was 92 percent accurate against a computer
While not knowing it was at the start which could've made him play differently
AND while playing multiple games BLINDFOLDED
And defeated two computer engines named Sajid and Sudeep, as well.
🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
In a simul also
Imagine having such an over inflated ego that you need to cheat in chess at a CHARITY
not really what an inflated ego means but ok
That's so naive it hurts. Imagine having a brain and realising why he did it.
@@wideant3376 no it is lmao, billionaire deflection to protect his identity, who the fuck cheats this hard and for what
@@waltgrisly509
clearly he doesn't have much of a brain by your logic then, because all that will come out of this for him is bad publicity. he gains nothing and stands to lose at least a little in terms of future business partners, etc
obv there wont be any real consequences, but it was still a stupid decision through and through. logically it makes no sense (if you think it through even a little) so it had to have been for his ego
@@phenix2403 seriously... There's no such thing as bad publicity (unless you murder someone or commit other serious crimes). Literally nobody but some chess players care about cheating in an inconsequential chess game, most people dont even know you can cheat in chess. Now imagine being a business that wants a partner or a sponsor/investor and you hear about this young billionaire. He has tons of money and willingness to spend them, but hey, he cheated in some stupid board game so I definitely wont take his millions. Yeah, that sounds reasonable...
You are a great person, Levy. Glad that there are people like you out there to spread positive messages.
I liked your last few minutes in the video. Enjoyed your thoughts about “be the better person” opened my eyes to that view. I like your mentality and how you base lots of things on your own experience
He’s just a billionaire that holds all the stocks of fishing.
Oh my god I laughed so hard
Vishy vs Fishy.
That sounds very fishy
That's why he used stockfish
god damn it
The funniest part of the “excuse” is the similitude with 100m against bolt. I mean he got the concept right but did the opposite. If you get beaten in chess(even with scholar mate) doesn’t mean you are stupid. Like all thing in life chess need practice, experience and creativity. I mean there are videos of bill Gates playing chess against Magnus with time odds and I didn’t hear anybody call Bill stupid after losing. If you are soo concern about people judging your intelligence, for trying and fail in a unusual activity for you, that u need to cheat I guess would have been a much more elegant figure to just be checkmated in 3 moves.
Bill gates is stupid tf
@@inorijade2427 lmfaoo
He thinks that its Among Us game and is trying to get away after getting caught red handed.
OR played a really good fighting game where he nearly defeated Vishy, but blundered in the end and lost! In order to succed in life sou have to take your chances, not throw them away!
@@NidusFormicarum he cheated.
You are so fun to watch, and informative, keep up the great work, Levy!
Such a wonderful video, honestly speaking this is the first time I watched your video till the end, and it makes me think when you said everyone can make a mistake, just say sorry and do something to make others feel better. Although I have never cheated on Chess or any other sports, Thats a really good life lessen for me. Thank you
The new chess rivalry that makes Kasparov v Karpov look like a kids quarrel: Dewa Kipas v Nikhil Kamath
Lol
Poor dumbass vs Rich Dumbass
Haha! Make it happen chessBase.
@@vedpardhi6409 well he got $7000 so it doesn't make him poor at all, especially here in Indonesia.
The master of the tempo vs the corporate fish
It really feels like Nikhil is trying to pass this off like “I didn’t cheat, it’s an open secret I was using a computer”. I doubt he would have admitted to using a computer had he not been caught.
He was likely too dumb (chess-wise) to know that everybody would realize what is going on. Once caught, he is trying to play it off.
Lmao an “open secret”
If he was sure that people will know, he could have cleared it up in after game discussion rather than waiting for all this drama to play out. I guess he said that I got lucky.
Yes on stream he said i got lucky
He was dumb, chess has negligible luck factor, you may get a mouseslip lucky but you'll never get a 600 player defeats a 2700 player in an one hour game lucky.
Levy, Nikhil used to compete in chess competitions. He knew what he was doing and still did it. What he did is so sad
Thank you for saying that, your introduction is pristine specially in this case but as a general take on our current social media society. Your humane view of things just enhance the quality of your videos and community around your channels and chess in general. Congrats and keep it up! Don't get too cocky though ;)
Worst thing is that grown up man is acting like a kid and didn't accepted his mistake till now 🤦
He accepted in a new tweet in the evening
He reached out to Anands. They said not to drag him in the drama. He still brought him up just for his own damage control. Man with no ethics.
Trackmania had a big cheating scandal latly and the most known player dissapeard without an apology, i guess thats just a cheaters thing.
His apology was a long way of saying, “it’s just a prank, bro.”
@@nicbentulan yes you're missing sportsmanship and brain cells to respect a charity event and a reputation of a former world champion.
Correction, his apology was a long way of pretending, "it's just a prank, bro."
This guy's a cheater too, he literally copied the other guys comment that was made 4 hours prior.
@@nicbentulan yes
U you are missing your brain :)
@@tarunarulraj no ur missing ur brain for making it such a big deal like he insulted a god or something
this was a very interesting video. just subbed a day or two ago, really like your channel. i've played chess for my whole life and i discovered your channel by watching stuff on the championship that just ended. keep up the good work.
If i was doing business with this gentleman I would be really disturbed after this. Bad morals and not even a fake apology. Complete lack of common sense and good Will.
levy : e5 is a blunder
Me, an intelectual : ROSS GAMBIT
A 400 beating a former world champion super GM after blundering on his first move... Kinda sus.
Guys I think he's cheating.
Dude you might be onto something
*GASP* You don't say.
no shit sherlock
would you please share how you came to that conclusion please?
Don't be so judgemental lol

@@NoOne-qi4tb correct, you are the problem
That match displayed the character of both the players.
Vishy cracked a great pun in the next session by saying, "I don't trust these guys" haha.
Looking back, I kind of miss when cheating scandals were this straightforward
Thanks for the video. It's fun to hear other people's opinions. I'm always interested in hearing what motivates people to fake reality. I'm a tiny bit happy the "villain" of the story chose to let the fake reality collapse.
The "I'm a billionaire so I'm going to cheat so I don't look a fool and then be unapologetic when I get caught out" attitude he showed reminds me of someone and makes me think he might be capable of becoming president one day
Yep.
This comment deserves to be on top
All that's missing him accusing Vishy of cheating himself
The worst people plan to be a politician, the 2nd most worst people plan to be a businessman- this is true in almost all cases
lol
The "apology" was really just an excuse. He basically said, "Y'all should've known I was using an engine, and it was just for learning anyway. chill."
The "learning" excuse doesn't even make sense. What do you learn from just following what a computer tells you to do? You learn far more from making mistakes.
@@Miss_Lexisaurus couldnt agree more, really. You can improve if only you are learn from your mistakes
He also did not use the word "computer" but "computers" and surrounded the word with "people analyzing the game" and "graciousness of Anand sir himself" as other forms of assistance to reduce focus from the actual and only assistance which was Stockfish.
@@Miss_Lexisaurus I think he's claiming he was teaching Anand by cheating... Lmao
Hey Levy, great video as usual. Love your stuff. Vishy is a legend.
We all need to learn to more quickly identify people with Narcissistic Personality Disorder. This cheater appears to me to be a classic case. People with this condition frequently rise to the top and make a lot of money because they excel at manipulation and control, and always avoid accountability. They are great at misdirection and blame-shifting. When pressed they often tell a completely false story, that tries to put a positive spin on things and side-steps the whole point and frustrates and bamboozles people. Everyone please understand that 'this is a technique designed and practiced by Narcs everywhere'. Then, while we are all still focusing on criticizing their behavour, the Narcissistic has moved on to the next thing, which is usually the daily business of manipulating and controlling people to their own benefit.
The problem for us cognitively normal people (neuro-typical folk) is that we are too nice, too ready to think in terms of normal responses and morality, integrity and decency. We like to deal with concepts like respecting others as if this is some sort of universal. Narcissists respect no-one. Narcissists see the prison other people make for themselves by trying to live within a moral framework, being consistent, self-critical, and striving to be a better person. Narcissists see these qualities in other people as weaknesses that are there to take advantage of. To the Narc, the very fact that other people continually expect them to behave like a decent human being, gives the Narc the edge because they are prepared to do the unthinkable, thus they keep everyone else off balance, and they learn ways to escape blame for it.
Levy, as a normal decent person, you have a strong urge to do for this guy what you would do for anyone else, which is to consider how they might be feeling, and try to give them the benefit of the doubt. You were still a little critical of him, but it was framed within a general spirit of goodwill. It is precisely this well-intentioned response that Narcs rely on to allow them to slip the noose. Good people will always forgive and move on. Good people will be polite. Good people will try to be empathic. Know this, Narcs are not empathic, they a predatory, and they only care about themselves.
We praise the uber-successful, because we are dazzled by the dream of it, but we do not tend to stop and think about the mentality of such a person. This experience should give everyone an insight into the mind of a Narcissist (as if 4 years of Trump wasn't enough to train everyone to the signs), so I implore people to move away from the expression of shock and dismay and outcry over the obvious disrespect shown towards Vishy, the charity, and chess itself, and call out Narcissistic behaviour whenever we see it.
The only way to defeat Narcs is to call them out, shine a light on them, elaborate on their behaviour, expose them to psychological analysis and to public embarrassment, and warn people to keep away from them, because as every single psychologist in the world will tell you - you can't ever beat a Narc one-on-one at their game because they do not play by the rules because the rules do not apply to them (sound familiar?). As a society we should be using the internet to call them out as a group, working together to push back against this sort of behaviour. I am not talking about flaming them, or cyber-bullying, but a calm and clear statement of recognition of their manipulative and deceptive behaviour for what it is - Narcissism. In normal life though, all you can do is avoid them and ignore them (they hate that).
Finally a disclaimer so i don't get sued by this guy. I am not a qualified psychologist, and this is only my personal opinion. He may be an absolutely wonderful guy who just made a mistake and failed to apologize for it. Perhaps he isn't a Narc and I have it all wrong.? You be the judge.
The fact that Nikhil was state-level player in chess, in his childhood, makes it even more horrible.
He probably wasn't. It's all a lie.
He had an 800 rating. I can promise you that is a lie.
Scammers do what scammers do: they lie and deceive.
