About this listen

Hans Niemann is 22. Four years ago, as a 19-year-old, he beat the world champion and was accused of cheating.Hans talks about the Netflix documentary, what Magnus Carlsen actually saw across the board, what four years of being called a cheat does to a person, and the institutions he calls “The Chess Mafia”. Midway through, he makes a claim about Magnus Carlsen that reshapes the whole story.We finish at Washington Square Park, which is where Hans learned his chess, and which is still the purest form of the game he loves.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 - Hans On Magnus00:01:20 - What Did Magnus See When You Beat Him?00:04:40 - "I'm Closer To The Older Players"00:07:20 - Being Called A Cheat At 1900:11:30 - The Chess Mafia00:15:25 - Could You Catch Magnus?00:29:30 - The Cheating Accusations, The Cost00:35:55 - Bitterness Is Poison00:38:25 - WHO Believed The Allegations And Why00:40:40 - Losing Faith In The Media00:43:15 - Navigating Infamy At 1900:45:50 - Naming Chess.com00:48:35 - "Magnus Was Gaslit"00:52:55 - What Did You Actually Admit To?00:55:40 - Magnus Cheated On Camera00:57:00 - Does Magnus Believe You Cheated?00:59:20 - The God Complex01:01:00 - The Dana White Of Chess01:03:15 - Chess As Soft Power01:07:00 - Chess In Every School01:22:20 - Scores To Settle01:23:15 - Washington Square Park- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -CONTACT PETE› Website – http://petermccormack.com› Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact› Email – me@petermccormack.com› Instagram – /mccormack555› X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/CONNECT WITH HANS NIEMANN› Twitter – https://x.com/HansMokeNiemann› Website – https://endgame.ai/SPONSORS› IREN - https://www.iren.com› LEDN - https://www.ledn.io/peter› Monetary Metals - https://www.Monetary-Metals.com/McCormack- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE› Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K› Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu› Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM› YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM› Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePMFILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR› https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/› https://x.com/curttayloruk/EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK› https://x.com/ConorM04- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hosted on Acast.
