I LOVE YOU HIKARUWU! ❤️🥺🥺

hikaru says levy is taking too much about cheating. continues to post videos about cheating himself

yes

I don't know why Levy stopped catching cheaters series after Dewa Kipas incident 😂

Address the Chessbrah strike please

Why cheat when you can copy strike?

hi

Glad you’re covering cheaters. Especially after saying Levy milks it too often.

Why not address your own controversy and stop copy striking others?

tornelo is used a lot for Australian chess events

17th

Hey... stop striking other chess channels :)

Thanks!

Hikaru Sama

just like what happened in indonesia, ok

Cheaters exists
Levi: I can milk you

Nothing new from the video a week ago... not sure why posted.

Tornello’s scuffed to begin with

Comment

Single cam setup is just insane... Even scrabble tournaments with no prize money use double webcam setup.

I think FIDE's "evidence" is the specific times when Osmak looked to the side. I bet one or more of the times were at the exact point she was in trouble or the position required a perfect move to keep the attack going etc. FIDE have looked at how critical the position on the board was, whether this criticality mirrors to when she looked away, and then looked at the accuracy of the move she played. And finally, they can check this accuracy against her past games and whether the move "suits" the player. They've probably looked at all this and felt they had no choice but to do something. Lastly, I agree with Hikaru, the rules for participation in online events should be clearly stated (like 2 webcams), and if you don't meet the requirements that can give FIDE, or whoever, confidence that you're not cheating, then you can't play online.

this sort of political garbage that depends on some centralized group of people who can literally destroy your chess career without evidence makes LOL chess a joke. I would never recommend it to anyone if this continues. Cannot even make an appeal because..? Sounds like gate keeping, maybe if you bribe them you can get some actual fair play? Sounds about right since this sounds corruptible as SARS.

This is a waste of time Hikaru can't say anything bad about fide so why even give an opinion? That's like me being asked on a huge public platform how do I feel about my company and these shady things it's doing.

If she did indeed look away at something to facilitate cheating, does anyone know what that would be?

This is like the red scare

In my opinion this is an attack against innocent until proven guilty and the players can’t prove they didn’t maybe some of them cheated but why can they not defend themselves

Get Hikaru where it hurts. Unsubscribe.

Plot twist

She cheated her ass off

The twitch chat is always partially cut off in these videos

Horrible take on 'not that expensive' 25$ webcams.

Lmfao the thumbnail

I think she wasn't cheating(I'm from Ukraine)

Looking for Hikaru’s answer to chessbrah strikes

If this doesn’t get fixed we can see Hikaru stripped of his wins because he looked at the ceiling...

someone tell me. do women cheat more in chess?

sounds exactly like our last election. we'll never know the truth

Hikaru looks at the ceiling in critical positions and some players look away to recall ideas. If that's all they had to go off of, then that's not good enough. If I'm recalling lines or needing a moment to think, I won't always look at the board but off to the side to think. This is crazy.

💯

If you can afford a computer to play online chess, you can afford a second webcam. It doesn't have to be the best picture quality, just something serviceable.

To be fair the fair play panel did not claim that she was guilty of cheating or that they had any evidence of that all that she cheated. All they did was disqualify her result based on statistical evidence which may or may not be very good but is what they have to rely on to ensure that there was any standards at all to prevent cheating at the event. That said it still does sully the reputation of osmak, and the process should be revised going forward.

Can you guys imagine getting accused of cheating and get banned lose your respect from everyone and you did not cheat...would be horrible

I find it dumb that they don't have the statistical analysis available for display. Probably because the panel knows people will blow it up to smithereens just like they did to the pitiful Dream "defense" paper, which leaves just the site evidence as the only thing holding this already paper thin accusation together.

Statistical cheat detection methods can be and should be double-blind tested for accuracy in detecting actual engine use. Take a large random sample of games and inject a number of games that involve varying degrees of engine use. Feed these in the blind through any detection algorithm and test its accuracy. Whatever the results, they should be published as found. This is the general idea, not an exact methodology.

Agree that two webcams is perfectly reasonable. Looking away? Has anyone watched Hikaru calculate? Beth Harmon with her ceiling engine?

There has to be an open standard for statistical cheat detection and an appeals process. As far as physical evidence goes, looking away by itself is evidence of nothing but looking away. This is all importamt becaue even a ridiculous, frivolous accusation has the effect of staining a person’s reputation permanently. To this point, see Anna Rudolf’s recent video in which she states that she still receives hate so many years after she was so idiotically accused of cheating OTB with an engine in her lip balm. It should be as important to online chess platforms to get this right as it is to the players because if false cheating accusations proliferate, players will be more reticent to risk their reputations by playing online chess.
