@d.j.demers: The Great Chess Scandal of 2023. #standupcomedy #chess #magnuscarlsen #hansniemann

GingerBeardMan🧔‍♂️ :

Learning Morse code was a pain in the ass

RileyG :

Chess fan here. It’s true. All of it

Sheila Ray1 :

This guy is hilarious 😂

Rachel :

Also important to note, Magnus is SO GOOD at chess that he was able to recognize the cheating in Hans, he knew he was making moves only a computer engine would make. To be able to recognize that in live time is INSANE, only the best of the best AND actual computers can spot cheating that way. Usually it’s just computer engines designed to catch cheating, and also evidently the GOAT Magnus Carlsen.

“Alright next joke” 🤣🤣🤣

allen :

It’s nice knowing that there are some comedians who are still hilarious, without doing crowd work

volc7 :

lmao most of the audience missed the next joke bit

this is the dumbest generation :

I googled this out of curiosity. Apparently Hans (the alleged cheater) got caught cheating over ONE HUNDRED TIMES in online chess. Chess.com released a 72 page report on it lol. Needless to say, I don’t think the claims made against him are too far fetched 😂.

Captain.I.Am :

That ending was a mic drop. His expression after saying “next joke” is hilarious

CaptnCooks :

He said “so you learned Morse code” and I followed 😂

Ryan :

This isn’t technically what happened. They played the whole match (Sinquefield Cup - basically the Masters of chess), but Magnus had a very rare opening and Hans Neimann said he just looked at that opening the day before (mind you there are thousands of openings in chess). He won the match and Magnus said he felt he wasn’t playing a human. Chess.com actually reviewed it and they said he did not cheat in the match. However, he was caught cheating in hundreds of matches prior to this on chess.com and was removed from the platform

JoeyJoeyJoseph :

chess.com banned hans from competing btw

user7864966079349 :

“OK next joke 😣” 😂😂😂

RAIZO :

the best part was actually at the end when he said 'okay next joke' 😖

Frän :

Next joke … .-. —. .- -.- —-

Sarah :

First time seeing this guy: he's so funny🤣

JimmyC12345 :

Hans Niemann was never caught cheating during an in-person, over-the-board (OTB) chess tournament. He was caught cheating online through statistical analysis and subsequently admitted to it. This story was a joke that went viral.

Jess92275 :

Skipping because I have in fact, heard all about it

Kimmy Taylor :

They didn’t talk about this in Queens Gambit 🤣

𝕽𝖊𝖉 𝕼𝖚𝖊𝖊𝖓 :

KiLLeDReLoaDiNG :

Always Sunny in Philadelphia did this already

ysabella ♟ :

Tiktoktik :
