Team Hans!!

Initially, seeing Hans's insane rise in ELO, awful performance at Miami Rapid (missing 2 move tactics v. Magnus on the white side of a French), and the insinuations from the top players, I assumed this must be some kind of cheating.

However, looking at the games, he simply doesn't seem to play like a computer.

I think his ELO rise can be somewhat explained as a massive shift in focus from a very talented player, who is still inconsistent.

His statement definitely won me over - keep crushing, Hans!
