The chess scandal is quite fascinating to me. I read an article where they were talking about perfect games (because in chess all of the moves are known, and you can play a perfect game in theory). Carlsen has done that twice, I think. Which is incredible, and suddenly Niemann has played a number of perfect games. (I wish I could find this article now!)
Anyway...if that's legitimate, it's somewhat measurable and Niemann was almost surely cheating. No one plays perfect games that regularly and it's so statistically improbable that it would be enough to convince me, although I'm a layman.
