Hans Niemann was accused of cheating after he beat Norwegian grandmaster Magnus Carlsen last September.

    Wasn’t the accusation that he had a device in his shoe, and the buttplug thing was just a joke that got out of hand?

      @Pietson @TheJims @Decoy321 that wasn’t what I heard but I didn’t look too too far into it. I read a few of the light articles that discussed the viability of the butt plug cheat device, but aside from that I didn’t really go back to the source or anything.

        Why do your comments tag anyone remotely involved in this?

          Because that’s how Mastodon works.

          @KidsTryThisAtHome direct replies include anyone in the thread chain by default. It’s like Twitter in that way.
