TL:DR - implicates Neimann in cheating in over 100 online games through 2020.

TL:DR - implicates Neimann in cheating in over 100 online games through 2020.

There is Niemann's Sept. 6 admission after Round 5 of the Sinquefield Cup that he cheated online at ages 12 and 16.

The rest is "likely cheated," "appears to have cheated," and "suspect games". No evidence whatever of cheating over the board at any time has been alleged. It was alleged that he "likely" cheated online up to 42 days after his 17th birthday. No allegation of cheating as an adult was alleged.

Please note that there is NO discussion of his OTB classic games in this report. Report at 3: "Despite the public speculation on these questions, in our view, there is no direct evidence that proves Hans cheated at the September 4, 2022 game with Magnus, or proves that he has cheated in other OTB games in the past."

Report at 19-20: "Chess.com is unaware of any concrete evidence proving that Hans is cheating over the board or has ever cheated over the board."
