"No, I never noticed anything, he told me after the game".. LMAO... such a nice lad !
That's where Naka's narrative fell apart. Hans analysed the game with Alireza and commented on those ideas that he missed.
@@christinemurray1444 and than just forget it. So "narrative fell apart", ok.
@@danetportal tbh, the Naka narravite doesnt consider the fact that some people gets nervous during an interview, to the point to even forget something they know, so Hans not remembering all the analysis here doesnt prove anything.
@@danetportal He probably forgets analysis after the game so...
@@puchao7407 no alireza said " i trusted him because he is such a good player" seems to me like he wanted to avoid saying that he knew he was playing against stockfish and also he said i just wanted to get a draw and go home that seems like saying he was genuinely not interested in playing this match because he was sus..
Alireza has all of a sudden become really really likeable!
Yeah! He seems a totally different person from how brash he was a few years ago. But he and I aren't so different in age, and I've really changed a lot in the same timeframe, so it makes sense that he did as well. Exposure to international scrutiny and constantly handling your managers, media, etc. does that to you i suppose.
Alireza was never been rude to anyone.
he's always been likeable
@@bluecocacola nah, back in 2019 he had a lot of questionable actions
@@markn.7914 like saying magnus was talking during the game and distracting him? yes very questionable to feel like the opposing player's actions are affecting your performance.
“Qg6 shocked me. I just wanted to draw and go home” 😂
Qg3**
That's code for "this guy has something I don't have access to". I think everyone in the tournament feels something fishy is going on
@@youssefbarghash9941 2:36 it's qg6
@@laurareich4319 not only does he say qg3, but you can also just look at the position earlier and see it...
@@st3ppenwolf dude you're paranoid
What a sweet kid! I love his honesty. I'm more of a fan of his than ever. :)
CORRECTION : Move Qg3 even didnt take 5 mins to be played. I checked it , it took 2 MINS !
Alireza got very humble. Nice change in character!
He was always humble towards contestants.. his problems in the past were always with organizers and arbiters and, in fairness, he was right most of the time... The things they did to him was mostly because he was a kid and no one cares types of things which would have made any other super GMs very mad too
Proud of him
@@414aliha Please see when he lost to Carlsen in the world blitz championship. I love Ali but that was horrible sportsmanship from him. I'm glad it's looking like it changed now
@@dalkap It still wasn't arrogance. A temper tantrum from a 17 year old once doesn't equal arrogance.
@@1994mrmysteryman I don't remember talking about arrogance but ok I guess
I laughed with Firoujza. His reaction was exactly what I would have. Like, WTF was that?
That was Stockfish, or some other engine.
Alireza is so nice and friendly
who wants Alireza to be next world chess Champion? :D What a humble guy he is
Bad news for you ...
whos gonna tell them
I do but his brother is crazy
I think almost everyone on top is humble. You cant make it to the top if you're arrogant.
@@jave7318 but bobby fischer, dude had the largest ego ever and had the skill to back it up
legendary interview, I think it says a lot more about hans' play than even his own interview.
Goated profile pic
I never saw this interview but it's amazing lol
Alireza is easily my favorite young up-and-comer
Alireza’s smiles says it all !! 00:04
Kappa
There was nothing there. 😑
He is such a likable guy.
Ali knows something is up too
Alireza is so sweet I wanna hug him
This interview is very revealing in showing the potential of Niemann. He's still playing in exactly the same way. Giving away pawns for sharp line and it gets in the head of top level GMs not expecting it. I'm not sure how high it can take him before solid top level play just squeezes games out of him but at least its something really exciting to watch in classical games.
Look at the humbleness of this guy compared with other guys in this competition. Zero arrogance!!!
not everyone can be a W like Hans
@@vampireducks1622 all except hans are humble
hans is top g
Ding is really nice and low-key too.
Nepo lowkey always seems like a really cool guy
Alireza has come a long way since his Tata Steel outburst. He has learned from Magnus and has incredibly likeable.
He is nothing like Magnus… Magnus is emotional and defensive whereas Alireza plays a risky game of sacrifice
Magnus is not the guy to learn from when it comes to being socially likable… Magnus is nice and sometimes funny but not very humble
Magnus isn't likeable at all lol, he's really arrogant and really bad sport
Magnus was less than a child in that game with those bizarre tantrums when he missed a move.
@@greenconcrete8843 Magnus is the strongest chess player of all time. He has no reason to be particularly humble lol. He could be a lot more arrogant than he is. He can very well appreciate when he's defeated through great play, like against Supi in that chess24 game
That reaction is just so spot on I cannot help laughing. "I never noticed anything" so pure and honest xD
Iranians are proud of you Alireza! ❤
He's a bit more himself now, which makes him more likeable.
what a lovely guy, such a nice person
Stockfish speaks for itself
ali drew stockfish? dam ali is improving
@@jonavuka You're repeating the same bs! Hans goal is to win the tournament and not to win every game out there
@@jonavuka Playing stockfishs' top move every move would be hella suspicious now, would it not.
I love Alireza. He is just amazing and honest 😍 👏 😄
Alireza - I did not take a free piece cuz I’m playing against stockfish who defeated Magnus 😂
🤣🤣
Hans is that good bruh lmao.
@@SavantGardeEX yeahh... good at corruption :I
That’s exactly what I understood
Hahahah
Spot on mate 😆😆😆😆
Alireza should be very happy
Drawing against stockfish is extremely impressive
I’m completely new to chess and these interviews are the best 😂more of this please :)
Just compare Alireza to Hans Niemann . Both are 19, but this kid is so much more likable and humble. Fans of Hans defend him by say he's arrogant because he's young and immature. Well, Alizera shows that this does have to be the case.
Everyone is different.
@@ChocolateMilk.. yes and Hans is arrogant and young and immature does not justify that, 19 is not young anymore
Doesn’t *
well Ali throw temper tantrum against magnus when he was 16(yes that is young) and in tata steel. Judging people based on a few select events is not fair. Hans may or may not be arrogant, media does not represent him in any way what so ever
@@Xdd2912 lol "19 is not young anymore" 🤣
Are you fuckin serious
Alejandro asks such brilliant questions! 😂
Because he almost a 2600 player himself
He has an interview on the C and C podcast with Fabiano and Cristian, and he seems like an amazing person! Very humble, hardworking, kind and bright. His story being a Costa Rican kid with big dreams of chess is quite remarkable.
1:00 "Yeah, I just trusted Stockfish" as its chess speaks for itself.
And stockfish says "Queen to G3"? Really?
@@BoothTheGrey Prob not stockfish, most likely some other cover up engine
@@andresi126 So - you assist by suggesting he is cheating ... with a BAD engine? Hehe... hehehehe.... hahahahahaha... yeah... that would be a real sign for a conman. I agree. Maybe we will find out.
Seems Alireza learned from his mistakes. And became very humble and strong player!
He was always like this. You just got fooled by the media.
I wanted to make draw and go home. Awesome quote
reza voice like a warm blanket
„Stockfish is in very good shape“
😂
stockfish drew the game against ali's subpar lines? are you on crack?
🤣🤣🤣
I don't understand how did hans cheat? Was he using stockfish or was magnus' prep leaked. Two different theories floating around and none of them makes sense. I would suggest people just to observe as if he is the real deal then he will come out on top sooner or later. And if he is fake then he won't last long enough.
4:16 Ali just destroyed Hans career with that line lmao hahahha
I can definitely say this guy is changed. He was different few years ago.
He always was like this, but no one saw it.
Because he is a god damn kid
hes always been a cutie
i think a lot of people would say this about us if the highest pressure moments of our lives were televised from ages 16-19
@@nicktomato7 that's so true dude
He was being so polite.
1:20 He's in a very good engine jk
I used to dislike Firouzja back when he was being a sore loser in the 2019 world blitz, but he's matured nicely now. Can't say the same for Neiman
Whats wrong with hans? lmao. He's funny af BASED.
@@SavantGardeEX did you watch his post game interview on his game with alireza? the dude's more arrogant and unlikeable than even hikaru was at his peak back in the day. a lot of what he says is considered funny just because it's so outlandishly ridiculous, narcissistic and disrespectful, but a few chuckle-worthy oneliners don't change the fact that he's being a complete ass a lot of the time
@@SavantGardeEX well being a cheater is probably the number one thing wrong with him, I'd say. lol
@@circleviii1801 He never cheated OTB keep crying
Best Interview in Chess History
i love his attitude
My boi is just honest
+1
To me it feels like Firouzja knows Niemann is fishy. He just can't say it.
Unreal shape
Hahahahahah. It's not his first language but still funny
Keep it up, Alireza!
We are living in a strange time where Alireza was afraid of someone, didn't see anything which were obvious moves for his opponent and wanted to make a draw and go home. Perhaps this time his opponent wasn't a bozo like Magnus or Ian.
He is not a normal 2700 that fellow
Maybe Alireza knew he was playing against an engine
@@itrig7679 But if exactly the engine says it is NOT that good but can be defended? Hmmmmmmm... what kind of engine is this? An engine that tells about the feelings of 2700/2800er Chess players about certain situations?
@@BoothTheGrey dont bother argue bro ppl just wanna believe what they want to believe. They want to believe there's someone cheating, you will never convince them otherwise
I wanted to make draw and go home 😂😂
Sincere, true, a pure diamond. G-d Bless Alireza.
A+ interview - future hall of famer right here
Congrats to AliReza, he drew stockfish.
Alireza Firoudja is a very great player and a very nice human beeing... Such a lovely and genial young chess player !
Boy just wants to play for long. coming from someone who is top 5 damn so humble
2400 journeyman cheater magically starts climbing in ELO and hits 2700 by defeating Magnus who is close to 2900. If it's too good to be true...
Literally explained ever Chess prodigy lmao.
@@SavantGardeEX normally we can see a genius come up and this guy out of the blue he is destroying every single one above him. You can't seriously be that blind
Kasparov might have felt similar when 13- year-old magnus played him to a draw. Praggnanandhaa, who is 16-years old and not in the 2700 club has already beat Magnus twice. Hans just played Ali, who was recently in the 2800 club, to a draw. Was he cheating in this game too or maybe he's just playing well? I guess we'll have to wait and see.
@@JuicersSuck He cheated multiple times in online cash events before, so the suspicion is certainly justified. Imo he shouldnt even be invited to these events with such a track record.
@@JuicersSuck Hans was stuck between 2300 and 2500 for 5 years between 2016 and 2021 yet has managed to gain 200 Elo from 2500 to 2700 since April last year? Chess players don't make those types of gains in adulthood when they couldn't as junior players. Note that Carlsen achieved great success as a teenager which is significantly less suspicious. As do most players. If you look at the rating progression of people like Hikaru, Caruana, So, Anish etc etc they all had consistent gains for years on their path to 2700. None of them hit a massive roadblock for 5 years and then made those gains suddenly within just over a year. What Hans has done is pretty much unprecedented and causes major alarm bells.
As for drawing a game against Alireza, he would not be the first 2500 level player to be able to draw against Alireza while playing as white, far from it. Especially when you consider the context where Alireza said he did not believe in White's position but simply chose to go for a draw because he trusted Hans.
Innocent until proven guilty is the correct approach but acting like there is nothing suspicious about Hans is pure naivety. There are a ton of huge red flags.
Engine speaks for itself.
More than impressive.
@Samuel Lucas check his interview.
He even got checked before the game
Accusing people without any kind of proof also speaks very poorly of many people.
@@sergichess409 he prepared an opening magnus never played just RANDOMLY like 20 moves ahead
he seems like a good kid
Maybe Hans potential rating is actually 2850 and that's why his rating is not reflecting his play as he is genius. But this type of rating progression and play rarely happens at top level so it is doubtful
more like 3000, 2850 is just magnus
mortal human
@@schlechtgut8349 Exactly! 🤣
Looks more like somewhere around ~3500+, if you catch my drift.
@@hoon_sol haha
@@schlechtgut8349 Magnus didnt perform as well as he usually does
"He is in a very good shape" :D
The chess spoke for itself
Ali Reza and Hans are playing the same game very differently. Ali Reza deserves to be the world champ. one day…
love alireza
Hansfish.
This is the most polite way I've ever heard someone say an opponent probably cheated. Firouzja have turned very likable and will be a great world champion one day.
now all of Nieman's opponents are scared of taking risky moves when playing against him. lol, Nieman's effect is real. thanks to Carlsen hahaha
Good boy alireza😍
Niemann fooled World champion 🤬🤣🤣
I like him. He's nice
It is pretty difficult to play against an engine, indeed. Some of engine's moves look not quite logical even for a super GM.
Imagine playing so well that people think youre engine lol 👏💪
is that why he drew the game and made inaccuracies? and dont give me the BS that he didnt do all engine moves to throw them off... why go thru that whole risk of getting caught only to draw...
@@jonavuka because it would be way too obvious to win every game against this type of opposition my guy
@@manuelkessler7838 So if he lost, he was hiding it. If he drew, he was covering his tracks. And if he won, then it's evidence he's cheating.
"Heads I win, tails you lose."
@@zvezdazvijezda3594 lmao nice joke
The new generation is here. Future world champion in the making
dude its so obvious what he thinks
If Firouzja says its kinda crazy to play Qg3 within 5-6 minutes, it confirms Hans cheated ! but he is too nice and modest to say this
It doesn’t confirm that. Alizera is simply saying he is in great top form this tournament
@@edwincollins5847 thats what he’s supposed to say
It doesn't confirm anything. Either you display actual real evidence or hide behind people's hurt egos talking.
You sound like an insane person
people are really throwing around words like "confirms" and "proves" with things that don't confirm or prove anything lol
i don't love hans's vibe and i think it's a godawful look that he did cheat in the past, for sure. but, there's nothing anyone has said that has *proven* that he cheated. he's been a very strong GM for quite some time and at the age of 19 it's possible to really hit a stride. i get why people are suspicious -- i'm a little suspicious too, in my gut -- but there's really nothing to say "this dude cheated, plain and simple"
sometimes some gm's find moves that other gm's don't. otherwise, nobody would ever win a game
Alireza, take time to rest and come back extra focused.
Qg3 in 2 minutes, only an engine finds this.
Isn't queen G3 a blunder? how would this prove Hans is cheating? if anything it's making him worse
This guy's so good, but Hans Niemann knew his fukin weakness and this really paid off.
This whole drama is more insane than Queen's gambit. wtf?
Nieman.... means... Bobby Fischer is BACK!!
No doubt about it Reza is a very likeable guy and honest. What I don't like is how Hans is immediately attacked by Alejandro at every moment while he talks all nice and sweet to Reza. Someone can take this interview by Reza wrong as well. He said multiple times he didn't know what was going on or was confused by this or that move just being honest. He also mirrored very closely what Hans said himself. They are basing their evaluation on emotions and what they feel for the position which was very similar. Bxh6 and the Knight sac being clearly winning or scary. Neither player gave long variations as to why the Knight sac would win. They are almost strip searched going into the chess club and they have found nothing on Hans. Give him the benefit of the doubt and allow him to be proved a cheater before this thing turns into the Salem Witch Trials or the communist scare of the 1950s.
alireza is new fischer
Niemann and alireza are my two favourite players :)))
Wow very fishy!
People blaming Hans for cheating without any proof. Sorry Hikaru, that’s not a good politics to push down a young kid…
It's pathetic what Hikaru is doing. He's potentially damaging a young kid and for what? - to increase popularity for his channel! Even if Hans cheated, Hikaru needs to grow up a bit...I get it, must be hard when he has a fan following of kids, but he should at least act adult
Imagine not cheating and having everyone say you're Stockfish.
He didn't accuse Hans of anything here. Just said he played great.
Imagine cheating and being defended online?
It’s almost like he had already been caught cheating in the past.
I am not going to shed any tears for someone who got caught cheating being accused of cheating. He has only himself to blame if he is not cheating. It takes years to build a reputation but only minutes to destroy one.
@@williamejohn28 can you provide the evidence that hans was banned for cheating?
That isn't hearsay ofcourse
Mmm… very interesting
Keep it up Hans! Only unfair thing is that they accuse him without any evidence. Hans is a very interesting play and he keeps playing better and better 👏👏💪
Lovely Alireza, there is a reason why Magnus wants him for the challenger. And for Hans, definitely he is not clean. I wonder how the cheating was conducted. It is tough to get the evident.
why does alejandro speak with a filipino accent
He doesn't, his accent is a combination of Iranian and French. The mix of the two may sound ab it like a Filipino accent but I wouldn't know.
its alireza not alejandro
@@Amin-er9lk alireza is alireza, and alejandro is alejandro. notice how there are 2 people talking in the clip
@@nStudleyJenkins i know but alejandro doesnt sound filpino , and the guy before me said its a combination of french and iranian accent so he is clearly refering to alireza , unless alejandro is also iranian and french?
therefore the first guy probably made a mistake and he was refering to alireza not alejandro as it does not make sense otherwise
@@vampireducks1622 yes you have a fair point but i think in my opinion alireza seems to have more filipino accent than Alejandro , Alejandro speaks good plain english in my opinion
but in any case lets just leave at this
Hans should be ashamed for himself. Looking forward to the fair play investigation.
Ashamed for winning? LOL
Nothing will emerge unless proffs have already been obtained from the previous games somehow. If he didn't cheat nothing will come up, and if he did cheat i don't see how they can prove it retrospectively if they haven't cought him till now. Now that Hans knows he's under suspicion, if he is a cheater, i'm pretty sure he isn't that stupid to keep cheating in the next games, so again i don't see how they can prove it.
Alireza's interview is such a fresh breath of air compared to hans'. Hans is cool and all, but is waayy too confident.
confident? are u ok
Confident? Lmao
Hans seemed pretty nervous to me 💀
Alireza doesn't notice deep lines : humble
Hans doesn't notice deep lines : something is fishy
Well. Because Hans went into the line. Not Alireza.
You understand the difference? Hans decided to go into this particular variation. He's supposed to know what's up.
Dumbest comment lmao
@@1994mrmysteryman Not really true. At a certain level you just trust your intuition and kind of go for it. The position after dxc4 Bxh6 looks incredibly dangerous anyways. When you sacrifice, you have to kind of trust yourself, as you can't calculate everything. Look at old-time games, especially by Tal
@@commentreader295 nope
@@ChocolateMilk.. Firu literally did the same last game with Aronian,lol.Hans spoted a nice sacrifice and a nice tactic,nothing so crazy.
Magnus just made an announcement that he had to quit the tournament because of a bad case of the flu
Alireza got a taste of his own medicine, I guess. He’s usually the youngster who is looking for more than a draw and trying to be aggressive.
You have zero idea what the hell you're talking about. Alireza playing against an engine is not "a taste of his own medicine" at all.
The irony of someone saying “you have no idea what you are talking about” then proceeding to accuse someone of cheating with ZERO proof is just insufferable lol. What an idiot in the comment above me….
@@Kizdo69 zero proof? Playing move like queen g3 which is completely crazy in itself which is so deep that even alireza was finding it difficult to calculate even after it happened on the board shows that move was not humanely possible to make.
@@mbagamingwala4581 agreed, even using words like “it scared me” and he said his game plan from then was to go for a draw and go home lol.
Qg3 is absolutely normal, to be honest. Even the Knight is hanging but you have a checkmate threat and winning back a Rock. This kind of sacrifice (Bishop/Knight take h6 to open opponent King) is very normal.
you dont understand the position at all. in the process of winning blacks rook you already gave up a knight and a bishop, Hans intention was not to play Bxf8, but h4, h5
Have you told Firouzja already? I'm sure he would be glad to have someone on his team, who thinks that moves are "easy" that he never thought about!
Hahaha
سبحان الله وبحمده سبحان الله العظيم
الحمد لله رب العالمين الرحمن الرحيم
Sus
It's ok if Hans cheats if it helps his game and speeds up his progress and he enjoys it.
Hans niemann is best
