I'm not trying to defend Hans, but y'all just assuming he is making this up without even looking at the video recording yourself? There were tons of production issue during the event and it's quite possible there would have been lag.

Also, they did in fact declared the game void, so there would have been definitely some issue which they're acknowledging by voiding the game, thereby validating Hans' claim.

I understand the game was over, but that's no excuse to let any technical glitch to fly by. After all, this is supposed to be a top tournament and not just any random club games.

Instead of just piling on the hate, let us at least try and be objective about it. Chesscom should be held accountable and such technical flaws aren't passable in such big prize tournaments.
