I didn't look at the chess.com thing since the historic progress is eclipsed by a streak of 5 important games where he simply scores 100%. Everything else is irrelevant. GM's usually have zero games at that level. Dropping to his usual level after that doesn't average it out to human level. lol

Someone should organize that running joke: naked chess tournament.

A Find-the-cheater tournament. One player is asked to cheat without consequences, the others are aware there is one cheater.

It would be interesting to see what happens if you tell everyone there’s one cheater but there really isn’t one.

It would also be fun to let everyone cheat but think they are the only cheater.

Yes! Had exactly the same thought myself.

There's a video of Hikaru Nakamura looking at some of the games identified by this report, and he was admitting that it wasn't immediately obvious to him: the games looked like good games (although I didn't watch the whole video).

So such a test of the system almost feels necessary for the chess world to see if they really can tell the difference between high level classical OTB play and cheating. It would be interesting indeed if ever the consensus was that a fair player was the cheater and the actual cheater just looked like "good play"!

Hikaru is the king of sandbagging anything he says. Also, lots of repetition. I dunno. I dunno. Lots of repetition. I think?
