Cheating at chess…

[Pupp]

Funny old world…

Chess grandmaster Hans Niemann denies using vibrating sex toy to cheat https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-6692156...

Strange...this story is over a year old. Why are they writing about it again?

[Digger]

Anal beads - how I wonder would you go about proving that theory Piers?

I think there was a thread on here, opened this assuming it was that one.

They parodied this on the latest season of Its Always Sunny.

Hilarious.

How do you cheat at chess?
"Ooh look, unicorn over there!" *steals opponent's queen while he's not looking*

Or...
While the opponent is thinking, ask him, "Are you allowed in your mum's bedroom?"
"Yes, why?"
"Can you get my pants when you're next in there?"

I don't understand this story...

Firstly how do you cheat at chess ? and secondly using those methods ?

I think the suggestion is that the beads vibration is remote controlled, so someone could send you messages in the vibrations. Morse code perhaps. Clever idea if true!

What the messages might be, no idea. Someone with more knowledge of chess will be along shortly!

I know SFA about chess, but I'm presuming that there's someone observing the game and running simulations of strategy, then advising the bottom buzzer with a code:

1 buzz for move a pawn
2 buzzes for move the knight
.
.
.
.
10 buzzes and a screaming orgasm, plus anal bleeding for move the king?

Likely running options on a computer.

Code would be easy. Chess board is 8 x 8. So just need 8 different codes and send 4 codes. First 2 are the position of the piece to move, second 2 where to move it to. A lot of the time the second 2 would not be needed.

I was waiting for that, I really must change my user name as it's a tree reference rather than arses

Chess squares are coded as a1, to h8 so you'd need 16 different codes, unless you were going to risk using the same code for both bits & hope the first one didn't get lost in translation. 16 different buzzes from a string of beads is going some to encode such that it can be reliably read by the recipient's ringpiece.

The messages would obviously be moves. Moving a piece to a certain square, capturing a piece etc.

All communicated via a code and the vibrations felt through something inserted in the body. It's quite far fetched!

I guess this could work quite well in a poker game.....

It isn't far fetched. Niemann has already admitted cheating in online games, so we know he has cheated in the past. And Carlsen seemed convinced it was highly suspicious, based on how Niemann kept making engine moves against him. It's only a story again now because Niemann dropped his legal action, on the basis he could be readmitted onto chess.com, and they accepted there was no definitive evidence he cheated in this over the board game.

The thing is grandmasters are really really good players. Top GMs are yet another league.

This isn't like they're a monkey making moves that are conveyed to them remotely. Tell them what piece to move, chances are they'll move it to the right square.

Heck, even just signalling that there's a critical idea in the position, and they should pay extra attention, could be enough to confer a game-winning advantage!

Actually that just got me thinking, I wonder what people imagine members look like when they think on someones username
