The title is “Did a US Chess Champion Cheat?” and the text of the article uses statistical analysis to show that the person most likely did not cheat. What would you consider to be misleading between the title and the article?

When I opened the article I thought it was going to be about someone cheating at the US Chess Championship.

"Statistical analysis shows US Chess Champion most likely did not cheat, despite recent claims" would be nice

The headline also complies with Betteridge's Law of Headlines. It's entirely legal.

Headlines following Betteridge's law were the original clickbait, and this definitely fits.
