    1. Hans has admitted to cheating in the past
    2. Hans played a near-perfect game as black against the best player in the world who hadn’t lost as white in years
    3. Hans made some suspiciously good moves quickly, without much time passing
    4. Magnus played a very rare opening that Hans was somehow able to perfectly respond to without skipping a beat

    From these, many people think he cheated. The vibrating butt plug is unlikely, but what is more likely is that Magnus’ prep got leaked and Hans was able to hyper-prepare for a specific line of play.

      He admitted to cheating online when he was a child. Magnus is clearly just salty someone younger is better than him and is trying to humiliate him to hide his own embarrassment.

        Yes, after which it was proven that he cheated later than he admitted and more often than he admitted.
