I believe that cheating in chess is a big deal and an existential threat to the game.

I believe that Niemann has cheated more - and more recently - than he has publicly admitted.

I get more upset at losing at other things than chess. I always get upset when I lose at Monopoly.

Hans Niemann - October 2022
