“Titled Tuesday winner presentation — Zhamsaran Tsydypov.

Banned already, at least once, on Planeta chess, Lichess.org, and seemingly on Chess.com as well.

Legendary onliner.”

At the time of publication, there is no verifiable evidence of Russian GM Zhamsaran Tsydypov (2507) cheating online. Tsydypov has verified accounts on Chess.com — Zhuu96, and on Lichess.org — Chesstoday. Zhamsaran has been registered on Chess.com since 2014 and on Lichess.org since 2016.
