As of 1 hour ago, on May 6, 2024, the alleged owner of this account, GM Brandon Jacobson, has posted on Reddit and says he is innocent. Wow. I will post an update video soon!
isnt it 3 am in nyc now??
If he is innocent, let him play OTB against Naroditsky and magically lose all the games

Kramnik jumping for joy rn
Out of all the chess memes, I never expected Kramnik to be the longest living one. Interesting
I find this meme very interesting, this meme made me laugh 96 times ou of 98 times. The ratio is very high. I think it might be very interesting to everyone
@@noysam3570 hans neimann is by far the longest living meme. there are still idiots spamming "the chess speaks for itself" at every mention of his existence
@noysam3570 I think because whenever we think Kramnik is finally done ranting about cheaters in chess, he drops another bombshell. But, I agree that the Hans Niemann memes were bigger, but that cheating scandal is over a year old now
from* joy
Hikaru should do a speedrun with this opening just to piss Kramnik off.
YOOOOO up this a lot
I just wanna see Kramnik's reaction video. Or more accurately the clips from it
doesn't matter kramnik was still proven right that there are lots of cheaters on the GM level and they are blatantly cheating
@@1boo I don't follow the chess scene very closely, were there other GM's we know for a fact were cheating? One is not the same as many, and I don't think anyone was ever under the impression that there were 0 GM's cheating.

It doesn’t matter who ur playing against, smurfing is still smurfing
@@spartapros2120 Not every alt account means smurfing.
There are really not many people who can pretend they are "only" a 3100 player while actually being higher rated@@spartapros2120
@@spartapros2120 That's exactly what smurfing means. It does very much matter who you are playing against. Maybe you should look up the definition of smurfing.
Dude's rating was 3100, how is that a smurf? Only Hikaru or Carlsen can smurf to 3100, and even still, against Danya, a smurf would be Stockfish.
I love that "Magnus getting drunk" is a plausible explanation
If this did not include alcohol (or LSD...) I'd be surprised.
Back in high school, my friends and I used to get together during the weekends, order a bunch of pizzas, get drunk and play games like CS, CoD, or grind Runescape. We are around our 30 now, live far apart, but still do basically the same through discord every once in a while. I can 100% imagine 2 GMs just hanging out in discord, getting drunk together and blasting through dozens of chess matches, practicing endgames till the morning.

Get Daniel into the studio and talk about his experience on this. He obviously must’ve kept playing, knowing what he was up against, and taking the challenge.
I agree. Anybody 1600+ can pretty much tell in a few moves that they're playing against a cheater.
Cool seeing you here! Have you ever thought of making a synthesizer/sequences out of a chessboard? Maybe steps travel from A-H, and notes are 1-8 and the pieces and positions control the sounds?
Wow Cuckoo, you're also a chess fan?! You should make some backing tracks for chess games!
Was wondering the same thing, maybe Danya and this account agreed to play a weird opening and then wire in Stockfish moves.
I'd love to hear his thoughts on this, so strange
10:42 “and if you open your eyes, daniel naroditsky- DANYA HAD NOTHING REMAINING”
i thought no one else noticed it lol
Yeah what was that weird cut?
Yeah why was it cut tho?
gothamchess lore
Yeah anyone know why was it cut?
Danya is probably one in like 1% of GMs who in this case think "well how often do you get to play a high level player who is using stockfish, might as well see if I can win some games and learn something for myself"
what a gigachad
Except he wasn't using stockfish. The owner of viih_sou is Brandon Jacobson, a legitimate grandmaster who specialises in blitz

could be. but Im leaning more towards him using some kind of engine, wouldnt get banned for no reason, even if you are being as generous as possible you gotta admit this is beyond suspicious
@@nbassasin8092 No measure of human behaviour is that reliable. So long as the guilty are punished, it is inevitable that at least some innocents will be mistakenly punished alongside them.
Is this an example of that? It's literally impossible to know for certain. That is _why_ it's impossible to guarantee the innocent will be exonerated. Without magical psychic powers, there will always be uncertainty and edge cases between certain guilt and certain innocence.
Anyone who is truly an expert in reading and predicting people will acknowledge this as one of the most important things for any aspiring people-reader to learn. Anyone who claims to be able to read people _reliably_ is a charlatan.
@@massivecowbreakout7555 . Jacobson is a known cheater. Look it up.

That's actually a badass opening, i rly hope this guy isn't a cheater and just a genius underdog haha
To the frat boys of chess officialdom, it does not matter.
I think he cheated.
Definitely cheated
I don't think he cheated
@@A_dzure me neither... His reddit post confirms a lot of the suspicions i had about him not being a cheater, the odds and probabilities are in his favor by a big margin
imagine if danya drops like 150 elo, then grind again the ladder to retrieve his elo, then receives a message from the website "you were granted +150 elo after a cheater was banned" xD would have been a way to reach a peak elo
I don't think it works that way, they would have to recalculate all the following games with the new rating and nothing will change then ...
You don’t gain back all the elo you lose from a cheater. For example, a regular game you would lose 8 elo, but I’ve only ever gotten 2-5 elo returned for losing to cheaters. I have never had the full loss of the elo refunded.
The law of conservation of elo forbids these types of manipulations.

No Xero13g is the brand ambassador of this opening
This feels like a GM trying to discover a new opening. Using real games instead of vs him/herself to create more “accurate” results. It would be curious to explore the differences made after the original few opening moves. Maybe using stockfish to identify the obscure position. Just a thought, just throwing it out there
They shot up in rating by a lot after switching to this apparently new genius opening. Yeah nah, Ockham's razor suggests they were cheating with an engine for at least some of the game.
"Vih" stands for "Vinícius" in Brazil, a very common name. "Sou" means "I am". "Vinicius I am" would be the nickname's "translation". I searched for Brazilian titled players with that name, but found only FMs and IMs, not a GM.

There's a chance its not a cheater and just a high level player who have just dedicated themselves to this opening so much and have it as the primary thing they play. That now they're experienced at clawing their way out of it's disadvantage. Or it could be someone who uses an engine for only a specific amount of their moves and play the rest on their own
Levy’s thumbnail guy never fails to be kidnapped
I played this opening with a similar rated player twice and I won. This is the type of opening where you just put all theory on the garbage can and focus on tactics.
the cut from disappointing mention of "And....Daniel Naroditsky" to just cut screaming in my headphones "DANYA HAD NOTHING LEFT"
I suspect it's someone who wants to prove a point, namely: cheating without getting detected is easier than most people think, but it does require a baseline high level (e.g. a GM). If I'm right, that person will soon come out with a detailed, documented account of how/when exactly they cheated, and only got "caught" when they purposefully decided to make it blindingly obvious by beating one of the world's top blitz players 70 times in a row down an exchange...
Lol, this aged poorly. 😛
rook gets less play at the start of the game so its less valuable than bishop or knight. rook seems to be quite sluggish in its moving when there is lot of other pieces also.
The Ware defense/opening is actually good. you gain a bishop pair and your opponent gets a rook that will probably just stand in the corner until the endgame. so you trade a weird position for an active piece advantage
FYI:
The account was closed for fair flay violation. This could include engine cheating but doesn't have to.
Smurfing or playing on an account with lower rating than ones true strength is also a fair play violation for example.
Nobody on the planet can beat Daniel this badly. Nobody. The guy was cheating 100%.
@@BigBoy-ql5rn if he did cheat, chess should name-drop him since it's an actual GM. I'm pretty sure the site always verifies the identity of titled players, so they have his name. I just don't understand why they would keep his identity secret, helping and encouraging a cheater.
@@veni1 Could be they will release it, they just don't right away. May need to confirm things, or have procedure to follow, or whatever. What if it turns out it's a 12-year-old kid? Should their real name be released? Probably not in most cases.
Could be valid reasons to not release it at all, or it could be something they release after a few days making sure it's legit.
They don't want a lawsuit like the Hans situation, I think they're just making sure that the guy really cheated and their detection is not giving false positive. @@Jdorty

Love then Danya gets hyped. Underrated GM.
I lost to this opening twice when I was a kid. I still remember.
a GM is doing an experiment to see how bad of a position they can get in the opening and win anyway with engine aid. The idea is to find an opening where the win is decisive but hard to find, and all other moves lead to a solid advantage for black.
but then you do that in unrated games (and ask the other person, if it is okay)

Levy never fails to milk the GM title from now on
im beyond bewildered. an extremely erratic and positional opening, complex, lightning quick gameplay, yet both play reasonably and make mistakes in a human way. id be equally amazed if this was a human as if it were an ai. not to mention, all done on an account that has existed for a good while, having inexplicably received gm title despite playing like this for so long. playing for dozens of games at 4am. what in the actual fuck happened here
Bruh, you know that's 4am right now in some place of the globe, right? (japan, at the time of my post) Right now in my country? It's 4pm in Brazil.
Timezones are amazing bro.
If the guy was playing from Portugal, for example, 4am in Brazil it's early Morning in Portugal, 8AM. Italy? Probably almost lunch time, 11AM.
As an Brazilian, my heart dropped as soon as I saw the flag...
Levy said that you can change the flag, I hope thats the case
Even if he is Brazilian, he doesn't represent the people of Brazil as a whole. So you have nothing to worry about.
@@gooffoon I know, it's just sad anyway
@@Ludrovisco I'm sorry but a cheater in chess is peanuts compared to the other issues in which Brazil is seem.
Dude who cares about nationality?
@@tmpqtyutmpqty4733 The brazilian chess scene is quite small, so one of our gms cheating is very demoralizing for us brazilians
Most good cheaters will play the 2nd or 3rd best move as long as it isnt immediately losing, then just wait eventually your opponent will make a mistake.
After levy’s full description what it honestly sounds like is an AI that has been set to learn how to AVOID being detected by an anti cheat system. And so it began with its final plan and figured out how to ramp up to being able to use it in a 70 game streak until being caught.
Could a GM not get better at one opening that's played over and over again? Could you or another gm try this opening 100 games in a row and see how far you take it? If Magnus and hikaru win with bongclouds, do they deserve to be called cheaters?
This seems like Daniel intentionally setting up an opening and trying to beat a computer, with his friend inputting the moves from the computer
Not true. I ain't got the time for shit like that.
Maybe because danya could have done that without using the account of a GM and playing rated games? That makes far less sense than a simple cheater...
@@DanielNaroditskyGMthanks for confirming.
@@DanielNaroditskyGMwhoah it's the real Danya
Lmao. Love your stream Daniel 😇
Hmm, who knows? What this smells like to me is a decent player who's testing their own engine, likely a fork of a publicly available one. You can play at any speed you like if the engine is coded to make the moves directly. Better yet the speed of play and the depth the engine plays can then be set dynamically in response to how 'hard' the position is. Why the same 'odd' opening every time? I suspect partly for the LOLs, partly to test the dynamic engine depth, but mostly because an unusual opening will make it harder to spot which engine is being used.
Why?
If my wild guess is correct, this isn't 'cheating' it's a 'programming exercise'.
you can just use lichess engine feature for that. (or use unrated games)

I think I know what was going on there, Levy.
Due to Magnus and one or two other notables using such moves, a certain strong player decided to use it and mix having an engine play out the game, AND occasionally THEY play out the game. The point was to see if such a maneuver could win at the highest levels. Whoever was doing it is probably compiling a list of gm responses, vs engine responses, so they can understand both winning and losing ideas in the opening and subsequent moves. With the aim of using it in their own games, but whether against strong opponents or weaker opponents, to be decided by the analysis afterwards.
Possible suspects would include certain top grandmasters, but could include a lower ranked grandmaster that remains more anonymous. AND could include a 'team' effort; a strong lower ranked player doing it for another stronger player for analysis.
Regardless, the games are a matter of record, so anyone exploring the analysis to see if such moves could be used in say, titled Tuesday, well now there is deniability, they could simply claim to have looked at it and decided it would be fun.
Very sneaky. 😄
Yeah. That's great but playing it for 500 games straight is gonna give it away
Kramnik cheating using an alt account, becoming the very thing he swore to destroy
something like 550 games.....bro 155 - 42 - 404? I know it's an estimate but boy that was awful, come on guy.
The reason for giving up the rook is that the Queen rook doesn’t come into the game till later whereas the white bishop is an attacking piece earlier on. So it’s a gamble to eliminate an active piece for a passive piece in the hope that you win the game in the middle game.

Definitely not 90% of them, but cheating is a real problem in online chess.
Thought it was levi, but then i remembered he's not a gm😊
That's a sophisticated version of a pattern I like to call "grandmaster-when-losing". Basically, the opponent plays a crappy line, then allows the other player to get an edge, and then magically becomes a "grandmaster". They suddenly find your every move, quickly, with best play. Of course, that's probably when the engine takes over.
I like to call that "deep opening preparation for a gambit". When Rosen gets you with the crappy -3 eval stafford line, when does that point happen when the engine takes over?
My question is how the f do you cheat at this kind of speed? How are you using an engine and making moves this quick?
@@teutorixaleria918 there are programs for that sometimes they are detectable tho but they allow to move instantly or fast
