The '''chess cheating scandal''' of 2022 concerned a highly unlikely ostensible victory on September 4 by a 19-year-old relatively low-ranked player named Hans Niemann, playing with the weaker black pieces, against the greatest player of our time, [[Magnus Carlsen]], while Carlsen was on an unbeaten streak. This was the second improbable defeat by Niemann with the black pieces against Carlsen in merely a few months, and the second consecutive improbable win by Niemann against a higher-ranked player in the tournament. Carlsen then quit the [[chess]] tournament (the [[Sinquefield Cup]] 2022), which is nearly unprecedented, and it was inferred that Carlsen felt he had been cheated by Niemann, which Niemann denied.
