Who knew Hans when he was younger.

I knew him since he was like 8 years old. I assure you he is talented and always been this confident. I will be very surprised if he cheat the otb games to get to where he is right now.
Sebastien Feller - Wikipedia

In October 2010, Feller scored 6/9 (+5 =2 -2)[4] during the 39th Chess Olympiad and won the Gold medal for best individual performance on board 5. However, the French Chess Federation accused Feller, along with French players GM Arnaud Hauchard and IM Cyril Marzolo,[5] of cheating during the Olympiad. While Feller was in the playing hall, Marzolo was in France where he checked the best moves on the computer. Marzolo then allegedly sent the move in coded pairs of numbers by SMS to Hauchard. Once Hauchard had the suggested move, he would position himself in the hall behind one of the other players’ tables in a predefined coded system, where each table represented a move to play. The French Chess Federation claims, in all, 200 text messages were sent during the tournament. The scam was supposedly uncovered by Joanna Pomian, the federation's vice-president.[6]
