    Hikaru is doing what we call Pub-stomping. Farming lower rated players for content. Extremely common in basically every online game. Winning 50 games in row? It's been done on Fortnite, warzone, apex, minecraft, battlefield – I mean really it's all of them. I think the ELO being infinite and being like 3600 are all issues with the ELO system itself, in no way does it mean Hikaru is cheating.
    How does someone get 3600 when playing against 29's? Idk, doesn't mean he's cheating though. How does someone get an infiinite elo? Idk, DOESN'T MEAN HE"S CHEATING — a foolish comment by buddy here. Very clearly making the distinction that intelligence and Chess are not correlated.

    98% win rate against opponents 250 points below you is… pretty reasonable? Like if I'm 1350 and I smash a bunch of 1100's that's not going to be too suspicious.

    "Lol I'm not saying he's cheating I'm just saying it's interesting" is Kramnik hiding behind innuendo and not having the balls to say what everybody knows he's already trying to get at.

    If you’re looking at a 500 elo difference, it should only take a couple thousand games before a streak of 55 is found. There’s a branch of Computer Science that runs calculations in a similar method to estimate large data sets

    Yall never fail to say the same thing every video

    bro, at this point, it seems like Kramnik is just jealous. and also, to prove that such streaks that hikaru pulled off with lower rated player, I'll be doing the same too. let's see if Kramnik accuses me of cheating as well. Good God, Kramnik's totally lost it. Attacking people who don't agree with his opinion on the internet. Truly unbecoming of a former world champion and a (former) respected chess player.

    Kramnik doing something so low . If he can’t play chess at a higher level he should just admit it instead of going around accusing youngsters. Lol when Magnus beat him I’m sure he also thought he cheated

    Kramnik is tripping. It’s sad hope he will be fine

    There was a guy on Twitter that presented his own mini study where he checked whether chess players before and after online chess became popular are cheating or not. And he found that the amount of cheating never changed. So that should refute kramniks suspicion that online chess players cheat way more. They don’t.

    But Hikaru had "too good" performance by playing lower rated players then him. Probably I could score 45.5 of 46 if I played only people who are 200-300 points lower in the ladder than me.

    This has nothing to do with mathematics or statistic. If you play lower rated playes you are going to win more time, that is how the rating system work.

    Let’s thank this good man for giving us a very entertaining series and for the effort he puts into each chapter.

    Carlsen had 49,5/51 1st of july – 7th of july 2023. Interesting!

    Much ado about nothing. Open your minds to the whole picture.

    Kramnic so jelly of bwtter players! Cringe

    Look also Hikaru is rated 400-500 elo higher than the people he goes on streaks against. Possibly more but his elo gets capped because he runs out of opponents. If I took a 1400-1500 player and they played a 1000 player, they would likely "win" 90-95% of games just like Hikaru. That's literally just how the elo works (accounting for draws but still).

    DAY 20 OF TRYING TO GET PIN BY GOTHAMCHESS

    Kramniks non-understanding of the utmost basics of statistics is mind-blowing.

    It is imposible to detect cheaters. Just the believe that they will not cheat

    He is attacking the credibility of a top 3 player at any time by scrutinizing the numbers. He isnt considering the preparation and skill of Hikaru. If it's just NUMBERS then whats the point?

    Vlad Kramniks crusade is total bollocks. i don't love Hikaru but he's a chess wizard and not cheating, c'mon. end of story.

    Kramnik missed his calling as a salt miner.

    At this point Kramnick just looks laughable for not just saying plainly what he's saying and denying that hes saying it.

    People lack the courage of conviction. Say it or don’t say it. No one cares about Kramnicks long winded bluster around it about stats

    Did no one see that the Duolingo bird is just peeking levy like a creep? wtf

    He's always cheated, here in my country we know he is… a cheater…

    Ok there's no way he's cheating, and if he was and he somehow snuck it past literally the global chess community, congratulations how did he do that

    Like a high school weight lifter who gets beat by my husband in arm wrestling and says, "He cheated!"

    Levy never fails to change the title of this video 20 times

    … also; How many of the games were lost due to time?

    Is like chess is a game of luck or smth

    Long story short: Kramnik has completely gone nuts!

    I think the anomalies are probably not in Hikaru's game-stats but in Kramnik's MRI scans.

    Is this really a scandal? It's just one unhinged dude throwing around unbased accusations.

    Maybe ELO is not a good measure for Blitz games…

    The Usain Bolt example is excellent!
    AND cherry picking data to “prove” anything… is INTERESTING on Kramnik’s part… also embarrassing!
    If he really is really not accusing anyone, he should leave it at that!
    Should shut up and play

    The absurdity of describing the 55/55 game streak as 'infinite' performance. Kramnik is taking specific ranges of games to show this, but if you extend that 'streak' by one game before and after it becomes '55/57' which looks less ridiculous. What a clown.

    In the words of the MIC – it's Russian disinformation

    Chat always demand Hikaru to do adoption or double adoption everyone he play every stream, that make him try to win 10 or 20 in a row

    Two things everyone agrees are not cheating. Hikaru has not lost a classical game since the last candidates and Hikaru puts up staggering winning streaks in bullet brawl almost weekly. But Blitz is entirely different because Kramnik was repeatedly humiliated in Titled Tuesdays so all online blitz is cheating.

    Dear Levy, I hope that you are doing well. Thank you for content that you do. Coming closer to the issue I would like to mention the following:
    1) Shouldn`t we investigate the goal Vladimir is pursuing? You are much more competent to comment this. Please, provide us with your opinion. But don`t tell us about the equality of GMs before the law (rules), as you had covered it in the video already. We may find something "SO INTERESTING".
    2) Nakamura plays around 4k games with 3:00 time control (online) per year. This deserves a complete chant of glory. I mean that he is super qualified in what is he doing. As you say, Nakamura plays like this since such it has been created.
    3) What could be possibly (theoretically) the goal of Nakamura to do such things? You were mentioning the law in your video. When people are violating the law, it`s obligatory to establish the motivation. What is the motivation of Nakamura to use the engine against people who were beaten by him so many times? I mean that it makes no sense to use engine to step back. If one goes into cheating, this person what to reach the goal that has been not completed yet.
    4) I personally think that Nakamura demolishes his opponents due to his extreme professional skills in chess.

    Should you cover these issues, I will appreciate a lot. Thank you for the attention!

    Best regards,
    Your Youtube Follower

    people who say the video before he changed title

    stop saying SCANDAL! it's an accusation,and a vague as one… you are more and more like those awful celebrity gossip newspapers.

    When is data scientist Lucy gonna give her opinion 😅

    why is it beating someone 500 elos below you 10 times in a row that hard to believe? it is Hikaruuu!!!
