And for even further context, let's remember a book written by his adviser David Sacks called the Diversity Myth, which he later apologized for. The book called some date rapes "belated regret" and criticized diversity pushes on college campuses.

Christian nationalism isn’t the way ahead for Jesus followers. Christian faithfulness is. It’s fidelity to Christ—not fidelity to notions of American Christianity or to any political party—that will bring light into this present darkness. The church is bride to no one but Christ.

On Halloween, as a mom of teens, I beg of you… let them be young just a little longer. If someone trick or treats at your house & they look too old… just give them candy anyways. It’s not hurting anything. Their bodies may look big & grown but they were babies not long ago.

Maxim Dlugy says the second time he confessed to using external help on Chesscom he hadn't cheated but considered a confession (that he was promised would remain confidential) to be the quickest way of being able to play on his account again: sites.google.com/view/gmdlug…

Maybe unpopular but I think a successful, post-cheating scandal Hans is great for chess. Keep winning. Go full villain. Don’t stop at just the accent, stop speaking English altogether. Only curse-laden Austrian. Keep growing the Afro. Put a pick in it. Now that’s content.

Hans just being a legit 2800 is the recipe for maximum chaos 🤞

"This game is a message to everyone. This entire thing started with me saying chess speaks for itself & I think this game spoke for itself & showed the chess player I am. It also showed I'm not going to back down & I'm going to play my best chess regardless of the pressure"

He knows anything he says will be scrutinised and criticised so made the wise decision to not speak

Actually we have at least one data point of a false positive. @AlirezaFirouzja told @DanielRensch
that he hoped he wouldn't be banned again on a live
@chesscom stream. Danny said it's a mistake, they hadn't realised he was a prodigy. Great system sees improvement as cheating.

I am a Grandmaster.
I played near perfect OTB game for 27 moves vs Carlsen in 2017 IOM International.
Imagine if I didn’t make a mistake and won the game, only to get accused of cheating by the World Champ…
How can one player ruin the reputation for life of any GM?

Drama Conclusion:
Chess.com is unaware of any concrete evidence
proving that Hans is cheating over the board or has ever cheated over the board.

Agreed with everything Doug said in this great video. Unsurprising given everything I do at the poker table (and life) is essentially the opposite of Helmuth, who is wildly famous, successful, and well-connected so what the hell do I know. Different strokes for different folks.

Сообщают, что в Гомеле проходят переговоры. Дай Бог, чтобы их результатом стало перемирие. Боюсь, плата за безумие последних дней будет невообразима и непомерна. По карману ли теперь нам наше будущее? #нетвойне #saynotowar

Oh, so since YOU haven't seen it personally, it's not happening. Okay. My mute thumb is getting a workout today.

Most of these people will return home the next day or even a few hours after the arrests.
Should I send some videos about what the police are doing in the USA, France, the Netherlands and other European countries for an unauthorized protest?
