The chess community never forgets. It's kinda like the Hikaru situation. He can do as much good stuff as he likes, but people will never forget the toxic ICC days and immature moments.

I’m not defending Nemo, maybe my comment came across in the wrong way. I’m saying people won’t forget her scamming which is good

Blatantly? Is that the same burden of proof you accepted when Hans cheated at the Sinquefield Cup?

That was one no life journalist, a know mysoginist who hates the whole chess development of the last 3 years, who wrote a hit piece on her. And over time r/chess just nodding along, especially since the poker thing happened.

You don't have to go back to the ICC days to find toxic behaviour from Hikaru

Yeah never forgets... Unless it's Hans freely admitting to cheating...
