There was never any evidence of this. The best explanation I heard is that Magnus' company was merging with chess.com right before a tournament, and with that the information of cheating bans were made available to him. He found out that Hans had been banned for cheating a couple years prior on chess.com. Speculation is that this put Magnus on tilt during his match with Hans, and losing just confirmed Magnus' suspicion that Hans is a cheater IRL as well as online.

The dog has large, exaggerated eyes, one of which is covered by a patch. The background is predominantly black, with the word "MUTINY" written in large, jagged, and spiky white letters behind the dog. The overall theme is contrasting with the black and white colors, and the design is bold and edgy.
