Pro chess cheating accusations

I don't follow the pro chess stuff by I was interested to read that a result had been overturned. The San Jose Hackers vs Las Vegas Desert Rats match has been affected due to fair play violations. Here is some statistical analysis that someone else has done. I cannot vouch for its veracity but I wonder if anyone knows is there is anything significant in the statistics I cannot see it myself.

GM Timur Gareyev (FIDE 2617, FIDE rapid 2615) : 387 undecided positions, correlation scores : T1=43.9%, T2=67%, T3=78.3%, blunder rate = 3,88%, acl = 16.77

FM Elliott Liu (FIDE 2284) : 285 pos, T-scores : 42.6% 57.2% 68.2%, br=5.26%, acl=17.26

GM Kayden Troff (FIDE 2511) : 675 pos, T-scores : 39.6% 63.2% 70.7%, br=4.44%, acl=17.26

GM Jacek Stopa (FIDE 2453, FIDE rapid 2511) : 191 pos, T-scores : 39.1% 60.1% 79.8%, br=5.24%, acl=16.88

No i don't think that was it. How do you know they were cheating? Can you tell from the statistics?

Lol we live in a post truth world.

I'm actually doing a piece/blog, should be posted tomorrow, about Timur Gareyev
and his exploits at blindfold chess. Apparently he holds the world record.

I wonder who is going to go for 50? Can you imagine, 1600 pieces to keep track of. Gads.

I can't, if those are meant to be match ups with an engine then they are lower than one would expect from GMs. If they are meant to be colluding I don't see what there is to analyse. What are those statistics meant to represent, specifically, what does T-score mean?

T I suspect must be the engine match up in correlation to first , second and third choice. Do we know what the match up rates are for humans pre computer , like Fischer Spassky?

This has been posted before, I'll dig around for a thread, but if those are engine match up rates then they are not suspicious.

Edit: the thread "Cerentola blunders a rook" Thread 169171 has some engine match statistics for top GM's, here are Carlsen's:

{ Top 1 Match: 477/828 ( 57.6% ) Opponents: 452/821 ( 55.1% )
{ Top 2 Match: 617/828 ( 74.5% ) Opponents: 594/821 ( 72.4% )
{ Top 3 Match: 690/828 ( 83.3% ) Opponents: 667/821 ( 81.2% )
{ Top 4 Match: 732/828 ( 88.4% ) Opponents: 709/821 ( 86.4% )

See pages 2 and 3 for statistics for various GMs and RHP players.
