    This was absolute slander, instigated by the world chess champion. Magnus Carlson and the leader ship of USCF should be ashamed of themselves. Absolutely zero evidence of cheating was found, and multiple people slandered Neimann. I wish this case had gone forward.

    I don't know. Everyone is convinced he cheated. But if it can't be proven, then what?

    It is slander obviously.
