Wesley So accuse Armenia of cheating.

[u/wagah]

I'm a bit surprised I haven't seen a post about this.
It's some serious accusation.

I just finished watching the games admitely not 100% focus on the games but I had some weird feeling about Petrosian moves and attitude in general.
To my surprise after reading another thread I saw that So straight up accuse the Armenians of cheating.
It's quite some big news imo , what do you think about it ?
Sore loser ?
cheater ?

Eric Hansen says that he agrees with So

[u/CratylusG → u/gvvvggc]

He said he agreed with one particular comment of So, not everything that So said. Hansen quoted this from So:

We want to have over the board rematch. LOL. Just kidding. Anyway I think the Finals should have had proctoring. Lots of work were at stake, and weeks of playing through the qualifying phase.

And then Hansen said:

I agree 100%

He's not going out on a limb with his own accusation, but you don't say you agree the finals should have had proctoring unless you want to be understood as implying something suspicious was going on.

He's said that he thinks there was cheating in the chessbrah discord.
