Reply to comment by [deleted] in WSJ: Chess Investigation Finds That U.S. Grandmaster ‘Likely Cheated’ More Than 100 Times by neighborhood-chad

he cheated online. chess dot com compared his stats when toggling windows vs not toggling. they don't know what he was looking at but if it was pornhub or facebook or whatever the expectation is he would have worse performance when toggling, not better.

if that's all he did it's probably not going to help him in a live game but it affects his rating which then affects a lot of other stuff.

He cheated in prize money events. But the fact that a top level player is cheating is enough to warrant the outburst imo bc engines are really just that good
