Niemann previously declared he would play naked to prove doubters wrong after rumours suggested he could have used vibrating anal beads, controlled by a third-party, to determine the best moves to make in his match against Carlsen.  

However, an extensive investigation into Neimann's online play by Chess.com found he likely broke the rules in tournaments as recently as 2020, noting 'many remarkable signals and unusual patterns in Hans' path as a player', according to a .

That said, it admitted that there was 'no direct evidence that proves Hans cheated at the September 4, 2022 game with Magnus, or proves that he has cheated in other OTB [over the board] games in the past.'

But Magnus Carlsen is not from the glittering world of showbusiness or Hollywood - he's a chess player who happens to be the best in the world at what he does.

Then Chess.com earlier this week published a lengthy report claiming Niemann had 'likely' cheated in more than 100 online games, including in several cash-prize tournaments - though had no evidence to suggest he'd cheated in over-the-board (OTB), in-person matches.

The new accusations surrounding Niemann come after he was banned from Chess.com for cheating online with the help of a friend in 2015 when he was aged just 12, and then did the same thing again in 2019. 

The prize money on offer in top tournaments has helped to fuel cheating scandals in recent years. In 2019, Latvian-Czech grandmaster Igors Rausis was caught consulting a smartphone in a toilet to try to get an advantage. 

'Other than when I was 12 years old, I have never, ever, ever - and I would never do that, that is the worst thing that I could ever do - cheat in a tournament with prize money,' Niemann said afterwards.

This entire thing started with me saying chess speaks for itself and I think this game spoke for itself and showed the chess player I am. It also showed I'm not going to back down,' Niemann said after winning a US championship game

Niemann beat chess world champion Carlsen on September 4 in the prestigious Sinquefield Cup, the infamous tournament in which the 19-year-old was accused of using vibrating anal beads to communicate with his coach.

Incredible footage has emerged showing the moment the chess prodigy accused of cheating with vibrating anal beads was subjected to an all-over body scan with a handheld detector before a US championship game. 

Whilst saying he was 'very impressed' with Niemann's play, he referred to the star's former coach Maxim Dlugy as the teenager's 'mentor', Pkv Poker saying he 'must be doing a great job'.
Dlugy is a grandmaster who was previously banned from playing platform Chess.com for alleged cheating.

He initially protested his innocence amid speculation from Carlsen and the chess community that he had cheated in their game, admitting he had done so twice before as a youngster but had learned from his mistakes and vowed not to do it again.

And in 2015, Italian player Archangel Ricciardi - who had been ranked 51,336 in the world - was caught using Morse code and a pendant containing a James Bond-style miniature camera to get to the final round of an international competition. 

Chess.com explained that they applied statistical analysis to Niemann's games, comparing his moves to those a chess engine would make in the same position. A high correlation between the two strongly points towards cheating.

The damning report comes after Niemann made headlines in September when chess champion Magnus Carlsen (pictured) suggested Niemann was a cheater, which culminated in rumors the 19-year-old was using vibrating anal beads to communicate with his coach
