Two weeks later, the two met again in the Julius Baer Intergenerational Cup preliminaries. Carlsen voluntarily admitted defeat and turned off the camera to leave the game after only two rounds, which further fermented the incident. After winning the Julius Baer Intergenerational Cup, Carlsen, who until now had remained silent, released a statement stating that Niemann cheated more times than he admitted, and then FIDE announced the establishment of a investigation team to investigate the incident.
As an online competition platform for many of China’s top chess players, chess.com published a 72-page “Hans Niemann Report” on the 5th, Beijing time. In an interview during the Sim Cup, Neiman publicly admitted that he only cheated twice at the age of 12 and 16, and never in live streaming. However, the fourth part of the “Hans’ cheating on chess.com” report pointed out that the survey combined with various detection methods such as AI engine chess comparison, game behavior model analysis, etc. .

During the two conversations , Neiman has both admitted to cheating and asked Danny Rensch if he could give him a chance to play again.
