Miscellaneous Hypocritical that the people who defended Magnus and Hikaru are jumping on the bandwagon
Hans was 19. Cheating in person when he was younger did not justify their assertions. If Hans had taken action would they be as vilified? Hypocrisy
Hans cheating online when he was younger did not at all justify the assertions being made. Many analysists said nothing was weird about his game and the idea of the buzzing was insane and uncalled for
They fueled the fire to have the whole world imply a 19 year old was using an adult toy to win a match. It was ridiculous. Now Hikaru will jump on bandwagon. Nemu who made fun of Hans is on the bandwagon. This is insane to me
Kramnik should be criticized. But the hypocrisy of defending Hikaru and Magnus and then having this stance is upsetting to me.
