OK John Doe ... I mean John Smith ... I mean Brian Smith.

M - Is it...Mark Ansari? Mathew Ansari....Mary Ansari?

Don’t bother. Its confirmed, he’s a troll.

Dude...YOU are the one who started asking about names, saying I was hiding behind a user name...someone pointed out my name was there to be seen...then making fun of it. Yours...I just see M. I don't know what it stands for and asked.

Anyway, since you clearly can't converse as you continue to resort to 'BS' like this...just don't address me, okay (?) and I won't address you. This is...beyond ridiculous. Of course, half of what I see on this thread is. Too often things degenerate to some weird interpersonal squabble...well, anywhere on the internet really; so 'here' is no exception. Adieu.

In one email, Dlugy says that in 2017, he was playing in a tournament on Chess.com in front of his students, and was crowdsourcing moves from them. (This is, itself, a violation of Chess.com's fair play rules.) "I am now positive, that one of the kids, was using an program on his cell while this was going on," Dlugy wrote. "As you can imagine, I liked many of his moves, though I had no idea that he was using assistance to generate them.” Dlugy admitted in a later email that it was not the only time he cheated.

From Vice. We don’t have the full text of the emails, just Vice’s paraphrasing.

Agadmator seems to be the only streamer/YouTuber who has kept a level head. He takes on the Maxim Dlugy statement, with emails. Vice doesn’t come off so well.

Thanks for this. It was good to hear the whole thing read out.

My suspicion that chess.com takes a 'rolling set of games' (20, 25, 100...whatever) looks to perhaps be borne out as Max included the correspondence/apology from Danny R who looked into the 2019 (?) 'cheating' and replied that his team was inadvertently taking the old data into account when they banned him then. In the end, perhaps a minor thing; but that in itself doesn't look good for chess.com.

Check who you are responding to. I’ve never said anything about user names or real names on this forum. Also, I was not calling you a troll.

Yes, so sorry...nasty nested quotes in the thread - I grabbed the quote at the wrong point. Of course... The comments were meant for M. ANSARI.

His second video was good also, looking like things have not changed much from the 80's when I was active OTB. #FIDESUCKS

It seems that Niemann is not a good player. Comparing him to Bobby Fischer is a joke. He plays variants that might be good for blitz, but bad against any opponent at classic timecontrol. What he showed today is amateurish.

I would not judge a grandmaster by his opening choices. By that criterion, Magnus Carlsen must be a real patzer, he plays all sorts of dubious (or outright bad) openings, even in classical games. Of course his motivation is to get people out of their prep. If you want to prove that Niemann is not a 2700 level player, you should do it by comparing the quality of his moves to other 2700 FIDE players after presumably leaving prep, maybe past move 15 would be a reasonable cutoff in the absence of other info, or just start when there are no other games in the databases. Some top players like to play "perfect" openings (Dominguez comes to mind), others just want to get out of theory early. For Niemann you could just consider classical games in events with really good cheat-detection, such as the current US Championship and rounds four thru nine in the St. Louis event where Carlsen forfeited to Niemann. See what "elo" is predicted by the error rate of his moves (past the cutoff point) in these games. I know the correlation between elo and error rate isn't that strong for individual games, but I think it's good enough if you have 20 games or so.

Niemann doesn't have it easy. Everywhere you click on the Internet (also on many German sites, not just chess), topic number 1 is Niemann.

And lurid get-ups like this:

I'm disappointed in Niemann. He's always all or nothing, and he always thinks he's better than his opponent. There is no middle ground for him. That's why he rightly lost the last two games. He overestimates himself. I read that he is a good bullet player. Unfortunately, he also plays classic time controls in this style, and that's not wise. More respect for the quality of his opponents would be appropriate. He supposedly wants to be world champion, or at least a top 10 player (by his own admission). It won't work!
