    I don’t know for certain if he deserves it or not, but this guy will always be known as the guy accused of using a buttplug to cheat at chess. There’s no escaping it at this point.

      I honestly feel bad for him. He’s always gonna be associated with this meme. I don’t blame Magnus for not wanting to play with a known former cheater, but there’s a solid chance that Niemann’s win against him was legitimate.
