This was a big thing in the chess world recently as he defeated the World champion who walked out of a famous tournament.

Note that this analysis is for ON-LINE competitions...

Isn’t this the one who was recently accused of using butt plugs to transmit supposedly winning moves to him?

The investigation was not able to conclude if Niemann cheated in any in-person matches.

lol. Of course not.

Me and a couple of buddies have a few beers and play online virtual trivia a time or two a week. It is amazing how many more perfect scores there are when you play virtually compared to when you play in a bar where the host makes you put your phones away and is walking around looking at the participants.

Cheating via online competition is a virtual certainty.

I thought these were Grandmasters so how are they cheating? Is someone better than him telling him what moves to make? These are guys that can beat computers, how can they cheat?

Prove it, “likely” doesn’t cut it. After reading about this over the past week there is a lot of chess-politics at play, a sore loser among them. Maybe they will run Niemann out for beating their favorite but that doesn’t mean or prove he cheated.

Two guys sitting at a chessboard with an hourglass move timer. How does one cheat?

A transmitter that communicated via buzzzing butt beads?

(Put microphone receiver on the underside of the chairs to pick up the buzzzing?)

Strangeness in the chess world!

This is minor level corruption compared to the AMA recommending mentally ill children mutate themselves and even demanding the FBI silence those criticizing it.
