The controversial chess of America, Hans Niemann, announced that he had finished a polygraphic test, which he had promised to take after his defeat against the Grand Master Russian Daniil Dubov. Niemann, 21, who was accused of having cheated by Magnus Carlsen, world n ° 1, also shared that he had refused to have deceived the table during the lie detector test and successfully erased it.
Niemann faced Dubov in an 18 -game Blitz force test in March 2025 in Moscow. The confrontation had a condition that the loser should answer a question with a polygraphic test.
After many of Dilly-Dally and back from the polygraph test, Niemann says that he was finally completed. However, he did not share any details at the moment and the place where the lie detector test took place, which organized it and if Dubov was present during the procedure.
Niemann has also published no video of the polygraph. The only proof of the polygraphic test carried out is his publications on social networks on X in which he said that he had been questioned on cheating above the table in chess matches, to which he said no and passed the test successfully.
“Polygraph has finished, transmitted all fronts. Have you ever cheated on the table? No. Niemann wrote on X.
Polygraph has finished, transmitted on all fronts.
Have you ever cheated on the table? No
Verdict: True. I think it’s time for a revenge match with Dubov. I will be in Moscow again in 2 weeks!– Hans Niemann (@hansmokeniemann) May 7, 2025
After the fans have raised doubts about the precision of Niemann’s claims, the American Grand Master retaliated by declaring that when he refused to pass the Lies detector test, it was said that he was afraid, and now that he had succeeded in the test, people say that the polygraphic test was pseudoscience.
He also allegedly alleged that “some people” are always ready to twist the story to prove their point, but he will prove that everyone has the opposite of his failures.
“The mental gymnastics of my detractors:” You refused polygraph which proves everything “then switching to” the polygraphs are pseudoscience, that proves nothing “. Some people will always be twisting to adapt to their perspective. The only constant is that failures always speak of itself,” added Niemann.
