World champion Magnus Carlsen abruptly resigned after making a single move in his highly anticipated rematch with Hans Niemann. Calls have increased for an investigation.
The solution moving forward is complete integration between online and OTB chess to stop this from happening in the future.
That is the TL;DR. It is quite stupid that someone can cheat online for years and then FIDE pretends it doesn't matter because otb is different, in a rational system he wouldn't even be allowed to be a pro in the first place.
Whether he cheated otb against Magnus is irrelevant at this point, and yes he probably didn't.
