Chess grandmaster Hans Niemann denies using vibrating sex toy to cheat
Hans Niemann was accused of cheating after he beat Norwegian grandmaster Magnus Carlsen last September.

Looking back at this. This whole thing was a wild ride. Magnus took being a sore loser to another level.
Grade A asshole
Known cheater plays a perfect game as black against a world champion who has never lost as white in decades. Grade A asshole, yep.
Perfect is a bit of a stretch. There was a tiny chance of Niemann winning that match, but smarter folk than I have analyzed the game and said that it was consistent with legitimate play
If your dumb enough to believe the reddit meme about a vibrating butt plug being how he cheated, seriously reconsider your life
Reddit meme? You mean the explicit statement/accusation by Magnus Carlson himself on Twitter, and the youtube video I linked that shows exactly how its possible with little effort?
The good people of the internet can't do all the reading and video watching for you - Most of have lives, but can still be bothered to look into whether we should open our mouths with some dismissive bullshit. What's your excuse?
Help is out there, you just have to reach out.
Maybe consider something like this?
Getting help can be hard, but your stronger than you think, I know you can do it!
I don't know anything about the chess drama, but it really doesn't matter who you are, don't publicly shame when you could do it privately.
It's kinda hard to privately resign from a match and refuse to play in a tournament because you think an opponent is cheating
I mean people would know something's up, but I was thinking silence would be a good option until some evidence could be produced
You're misunderstanding/misrepresenting the historical/societal role of shame. Its not just a personal feeling to be felt, or more likely feigned, nor is it something one person is capable of imparting to another who is not already inclined towards it.
One's elders do not wait for friends and family to leave the room before calling out shamefull acts, nor would doing so serve any purpose.
