It's been talked to death. The consensus is you cannot just cherry-pick some games and claim he's cheating.

Everyone has games that are perfect. Everyone. Not just GMs or Super GMs. I have at least a few perfect games and I'm half the rating Hans is.

The games analyzed also have crazy blunders by his opponents.

Perfect when compared to the moves the top chess engines would make? Hikaru says he only scored 100% one time, and 70% is more typical for a GM, yet everyone does it?
First, it isn't THE top moves. It is ONE of the top moves. Huge difference.

Where does Hikaru say he only has a 100% correlation game one time? I've seen lots of examples of other players having such games.
