Hans is, afaik, just another top level chess player. Not as good as the top echelon but could of course absolutely destroy any of us.
And not an online tournament, it was irl/"over the board", which is why the cheating allegations are wild because that would be much more difficult. Much more likely imo, if he cheated at all, was that he somehow got access to Magnus' prep before the game and studied it.

Chess shit is wild
What would you consider to be "the top echelon"? Hans is considered to be a Super GM. He's within the top 50 players in the world.
