How a Statistics Professor Became Embroiled in Online Chess Drama - interesting article

on

To encourage you to read it, I am posting a small excerpt from this article.

"As a mild-mannered statistics professor, it’s not often that I get contacted directly by the CEO of a multi-million-dollar company, much less regarding allegations of cheating and malfeasance among world champions.

But that’s precisely what happened last summer. Erik Allebest, CEO of the world’s largest online chess site, Chess.com, asked me to investigate former world chess champion Vladimir Kramnik’s concerns about the long winning streaks of top player Hikaru Nakamura."
