American Chess player Hans Niemann, 19, broke his silence after a Chess.com report revealed he cheated way more than he previously admitted in online matches.
Hans Niemann said Oct. 5 he "won't back down," after the chess platform Chess.com reported he has "probably cheated more than 100 times" in online games."I think that this game is a message to everyone," he told the Saint Louis Chess Club."This entire thing started with me saying chess speaks for itself.
And I think that this game spoke for itself and showed the chess player that I am and also showed that I’m not going to back down. And I’m going to play my best chess here regardless of the pressure that I’m under. And that’s all I have to say about this game. Chess speaks for itself is all I can say."A Chess.com report implicated Hans Niemann in a cheating scandal.
