Suing just shut down the rumour mills and everybody will now just wait for the settlement. Not a penny will change hand but Hans will get to play "normally". And weirdly the child prodigy will simply revert to a previous plateau. I don't know if he will go down to 2600 or 2500. We will see. | ||

I don't believe he has cheated in the game against Magnus, I just haven't seen accusation he has done so. Weird calling people clueless... He will perform top 10 USA level, that's about it, strong but not world champion material. Look out for Indians. Anyway, whiney little shit like Niemann only hurt chess. | ||

The chess world is not short of child prodigies and role models. Such a shame that the mainstream media and casual viewers don't give enough focus to these more promising youngsters. Even Fabi said that he's getting more noticed on the streets but only to be asked about 'beads'... | ||

Every lawyer is different, some will think Niemann's case is good, some will think it isn't. The point is that I trust them, and not people who haven't studied law. This one thinks it's a valid case with a good chance of success. ![[image loading]](https://i.gyazo.com/304ffb9fd2353664b0cd19c49b4f050b.png) ![[image loading]](https://i.gyazo.com/52b74ea4b1cf727c57f18989b9ec80e7.png) | ||

One lawyer, mind you, that seems to awfully easily gloss over the very basis of proving libel/slander (namely, that the person making the claim had to know it was false) in the first place, plus the "if he's not a cheater" when Niemann has already admitted to cheating in the first place? | ||

"Lawyers are saying" isn't sourced by a single LinkedIn comment by somebody who clearly didn't bother to read the complaint or had any idea about Niemann's history. | ||

To be very clear: people who ask me to do something for them and then dismiss what I do are among my biggest pet peeves. | ||

That doesn't mean I'm dismissive of sources in general, it just means that that particular one was not a good one. To be very clear: people who make broad sweeping claims they refuse to back up adequately and then get indignant when bad sources are questioned are among my biggest pet peeves. | ||

I already addressed this, see posts 2327, 2329 and 2331. For somebody who was so upset at being 'dismissed', you didn't bother to read my comments very well. I never said he wasn't a legit lawyer. I did point out that he's not a good source here, and I explained why (see, once again, the above posts). | ||

I do not care what one or even a handful of lawyers say, but what they say collectively. As a collective, they're undecided. End of debate on my part. | ||

They're not decided on how the case will go, or if it'll even be accepted, and I don't see a valid reason to dismiss them. Excuse me for dismissing your opinion that the lawyers siding with Niemann are apparently wrong. I think they have greater expertise and a better understanding than you do. I do not care what one or even a handful of lawyers say, but what they say collectively. As a collective, they're undecided. End of debate on my part. You're not "picking lawyers", you're picking a singular lawyer who clearly and obviously didn't read the complaint and gave his single one-line (pardon, 2 line) opinion. At the same time, I linked you a multipe page long analysis, by a lawyer, explaining exactly what parts of the case are not going anywhere and why (hint, it's almost all of it). You don't have to "pick me", a random tl.net user, but the least you could have done is read the actual source with actual analysis by an actual lawyer who, you know, actually read the complaint before disingenuously pretending like it's 'Me vs "lawyers"'. The irony of you getting upset at me "dismissing" your point when you haven't engaged with any of the analysis I linked you is comical. Literally only one of us dismissed anything the other said, and that is very clearly you. | ||
