| Feb-27-22 | | actinia: You have people being "punished" for *not* downloading the browser extensions. That is where we are at. |

 | | MissScarlett: <In the middle of the game, roughly equal position, I get a notification from LiChess that my opponent had been forfeited, game over.> Are you expecting us to believe you were trading equal blows with Stockfish? |
|

| | MissScarlett: <I don't know how or why he keeps getting away with it.> See, this is where you have me worried. Publicly accusing a player, especially one of such rare promise, of cheating, without evidence beyond your say-so, is bad form. I'm sure that <cg>'s legal department (if there was one) would want me to stress the usual disclaimer. But in the spirit of open enquiry, I put the following in your ball court - What is Keymer's handle on Lichess? What is his current bullet rating? On how many occasions have you witnessed alleged malpractice? Is it still happening? |

 | | HeMateMe: <Are you expecting us to believe you were trading equal blows with Stockfish?> Nope. I'm guessing my opponent was trying to cheat, trying to install something or perhaps using Stockfish from a second computer to play on LiChess--the LiChess monitoring program perhaps saw too many perfect openings from this guy and forfeited him. I just happened to be there when the trip wire was met. |
|
| Feb-28-22 | | actinia: I don't get the confusion. A large segment of "top" Lichess players download the cheat extension(s). A large segment doesn't. We view the cheaters as cheaters |
|
| Feb-28-22 | | actinia: obviously Keymer cheats. |
|
| Feb-28-22 | | actinia: I am a high enough rated non-titled player that I play titled players if I want to. Those guys cheat like you wouldn't believe. All to protect their precious "top" ratings I imagine. |
|
| Mar-01-22 | | technical win: <actinia: I am a high enough rated non-titled player> LOL I see a loudmouth with baseless accusations. Why don't you challenge Vincent finally and let us in on it? |

 | | perfidious: I am a life 1200 player; I can take that punk sumbitch on! Nyah nyah! |
|
| May-01-22 | | ndg2: With his 4th consecutive win in the Bundesliga, Vincent rises to 2680 and third place again on the live junior list. Not sure, how FIDE evaluates a running tournament (Bundesliga) though. Maybe they wait until all rounds are played there? |
|
| Sep-06-22 | | ndg2: With 3.5/4 points in the Polish "Ekstraliga" (see e.g. https://lichess.org/broadcast/enea-...), Vincent is now over 2700.4 in live ratings (https://2700chess.com/juniors). Of course we have to wait until end of month whether he will stay there, it's nevertheless a real milestone. Keymer is the second German GM after Arkadij Naiditsch reaching Super GM level and the first one born in Germany. |
|
| Sep-10-22 | | whiteshark: <Last FIDE rating: 2558> This is so 2020-07 Hello management? Anyone?? |
|
Sep-10-22
| | perfidious: <whiteshark>, if Niemann can continue having his rating suppressed at 2465, why not keep Keymer down also? (laughs) |
|
| Sep-10-22 | | nok: Statement from Chess.com/Magnus Group
<Dear Chess Community,
The Board of Directors has decided that the ratings of all juniors shall be forthwith slashed by 100 points, to protect the integrity of the game that we all love. Chief Chess Officer> |
|
Sep-10-22
| | perfidious: Is the 100-point cut a sop to those dark forces which wanted still more, so as to hold back the youth? |
|
| Sep-10-22 | | whiteshark: Didn't know that ceegee is not longer independent ratingwise. |
|
Sep-22-22
| | MissScarlett: Finally figured out who Vincent reminds me of:
https://neilsautographs.files.wordp... |
|
| Sep-22-22 | | ndg2: ^Lol, that's mean |
|
| Aug-09-23 | | ndg2: Would some nice biographer update the profile picture and the "highest FIDE rating"? Both are very outdated. |
|
Aug-09-23
 | | Stonehenge: Done.
(I can't update <Last FIDE rating>) |
|
| Aug-09-23 | | ndg2: Thanks! |
|

 | | Sally Simpson: Nice pic - rating not really important if it is a hassle. We know how good he is. |
|
| Aug-22-24 | | EvanTheTerrible: Keymer is crushing it in the Rubinstein memorial. He is currently on 5.5/6, having gained 21.8 rating points, bringing him over 2740. With his and Niemann entering the top 20 this month, 7 of the top 20 players are 21 or under. I'd love to see a round robin of these 7 players, plus maybe Wei Yi and Maghsoodloo. |
|
Aug-22-24
| | MissScarlett: I recall neither the occasion nor the exact words, but Peter Leko fairly recently on commentary, <Let's get this straight. Vincent isn't a student, he's family.> |
|
| Feb-23-25 | | ndg2: Congratulations to winning the first leg of the 2025 Freestyle Chess Championship tour! |
