I would be chess champion of the Galaxy if not for the bots.
Hans Niemann is legitimate top 10 right now. Discuss.

well actually a few years ago he was found cheating online, i think. Not OTB, but people still think he cheated OTB, even though there was no cheating proof other than a past charge.
Was there a charge? I don't remember that there was.
I feel there is a generation changing going on the chess world. The "old guard" players are slowly getting replaced by younger players of the new generation.
Hans is currently number #17 in the world. I think he might be one of the World Champion contestant of the new generation in the future.
People like Hans, Nordibek, Arjun, Praggnanandhaa, Firouja, Vincent Kimmer and maybe Duda and Yi Wei, and of course, Gukesh. Those guys will compete for who will be the next world champion now that Magnus and the players of his generation are starting to slowly retire.
I don't know. Maybe Hans might become the World Champion in the future. I legit don't know who gonna be.

Hans was found guilty of cheating on chess.com and banned when he was younger. After being punished, analysts agree that Hans stopped cheating on online chess. There is no proof that Hans ever cheated in over the board chess. Personally I believe that the controversies surrounding Hans is way over pushed, and seeing a young chess grandmaster face so much public negativity to a point where it is crippling his career make me feel shameful for the chess community, that I am a part of, to let this happen.
Everyone cheats except me
