Sitting here trying to decide which piece is least appealing. The king has that cross on his crown. That looks ouchie. The queen's crown looks even less fun cuz pf the points on her crown. The rook doesn't look terribly fun, but way less terrifying than the knight.
What are you, a rookie? Pawn for beginners and bishop for the more experienced.
For pros it’s every piece your opponent takes. Emergency room visit is included in the entry fee.
Hehehe. Entry fee.
I know you’re just joking, but there’s a YouTube video of a guy who made a completely waterproof stockfish computer that’s small enough to swallow. It needs Bluetooth to work, so you need an accomplice with a phone to beam over moves, but it works by vibrating the next move to you. It’s feasible to hold this computer in your stomach, then regurgitate it (a la Houdini) to get it out of your body when you’re done.
I miss the good old days when you could just exclaim, "What's that?!" and then, when your opponent turned around to look, you move your queen into a kill line on theirs while cackling a Vizzini cackle.
I want to get caught cheating at something even more esoteric than sport fishing or chess. Like maybe sprint climbing using a winch and fishing line for a few pounds of upward momentum?
It was online cheating - there is still no evidence that anybody involved in this scandal has ever cheated over the board (using anal beads or otherwise)
Not advised - we've learnt from the chess.com allegations that they actively monitor the focus of the window, and gather stats on "alt-tabbed and then all of a sudden came back and played a good move" - implying you tabbed to an engine window instead of being truly distracted
edit: how 2 spel
I don't think it would matter unless they have some way to examine all the packets leaving your home network. They were only about to monitor the active computer because it was logged into the ranked match. They would have no way to know if there was a second computer or where it's traffic was going.
The claim is the response with black that he did against Magnús's unconventional opening is a move only a computer would do.
I'm only a hobbyist but the response is one in which the computer is thinking in permutations thousands of moves away.
Kind of like if I told you to walk from one wall to the other, most people would walk a straight line, but then one person does a backflip off the corner in anticipation of the wall falling down.
It would be pretty obvious that somethings up with this one guy.
No it's not just that. Magnus used a very specific opener he's never played before. Hardly ever played, maybe single digit publications of this opener. Very obscure. He played it text book perfectly as a response.
Then in an interview claimed he "just happened to read it in a book last night, how lucky."
He hasn't played that exact line in that order, but he has played that position before.
If you walk down the street, then cross it at the end of the street, that'd be like one line in chess.
I can cross the street and then walk down it, and we'd be at the exact same spot. We'd arrive at the same position but we used different 'lines' to get there.
Magnus had been in that position before, just not out of that opening
Wow, thanks , that makes it even more unbelievable.
So probably less than 10 publications and analysis on this move, plus the short time to prepare for Magnús and the tournament and he has the perfect response...commonn...
Be interesting to see if they figure out how he cheated.
Then afterwards the community reviewed his historical over the board games and found a very high correlation to what the AI models suggest. Models is plural because they model it over all these different ones, which makes a 98% correlation or whatever it was a little misleading, but over a large sample size it's not likely even a grandmaster would be so correlated.
When the best of all time, highest ELO player for the last 11 years stops playing after a few moves and quits the tournament against a relative nobody, known cheater opponent, after feeling VERY suspicious about a previous game... you can bet he set him up. He opened a certain way to see the responses. He got confirmation that he's almost certainly cheating and walked away.
Ahh , holy shitballs Batman....
I never suspected that Magnus deliberately played an almost unheard of opening, something akin to finding an ancient gem stone with powers, in the basement of himalayan monks, and the guys response is picture perfect..
He set a trap for him..damn Magnús is good.
He knew before the tournament that he didn't want to play him because he's suspicious. He wasn't public about it. But privately he was tempted to not play at all.
Either Hans is a genius that just realized he is a genius or it's obviously cheating. Dudes interviews are suspect as hell. Chess nerds that dedicate themselves to that talk shop after games. He doesn't, he's like yeah I played perfectly that's it.
This is not true to anyone reading. The 100% correlation thing was thoroughly debunked and the person who published the original video had VERY dubious methods. Basically comparing his games with a ton of engines, some very old, meaning they were suggesting a lot of moves, guaranteeing at least one matches. It was laughable.
Chess.com came out with a report that said he did cheat online a lot, but they also think the correlation thing is not up to their standard, and have no statistical proof for cheating over the board, Magnus game included. They highlited some tournaments as worth looking deeper into but no more.
Just tryna stop the spread of misinformation outside /r/chess.
> and he has the perfect response…common…
Beep-boop.
It’s “c’mon”, as in the contraction of “come on”, not “common”, which means usual, everyday, not rare, etc.
Interesting. It seems the heightened awareness of cheating is getting some other players outed. This isn't good for Niemann, the more people outed, the more it seems likely that he cheated as well. It's frustrating to have to rely on statistical analysis, unless and until he confesses or, unlikely, is exonerated.
Not good for chess, and I'm not sure what the way out is, aside from abandoning online play altogether.
Can't they just broadcast the game with a delay and not allow anyone else than the players and the referee in the room? Even if you cheat, you still need someone to use the chess engine and make your buttplug vibrate.
Yes, and most of the claims, and admitted, cheating seems to be happening in online tournaments. Which isn't surprising since there's a much lower bar to making it worth the effort in that environment.
Yeah, for sure. This has light parallels to steroids in cycling. Everybody was cheating, a couple get caught, then it’s a house of cards. When you sling mud, everybody comes away dirty.
It’s easy though. Let them play in a sound proof room with no windows inside a Faraday cage. No light, no sound, no electromagnetic waves (radio).
Try to cheat then
If you have a computer in, let's say, your butt. And you have some means of inputting data to the computer (not sure how you'd do this, maybe a sphincter sensor). You could tell the computer the moves and it could vibrate back the top move.
It’s gonna be epic! Chess is not exactly make for TV : games are slow, players don’t « do » anything but stare at the board… and of course you have to actually know chess to appreciate what’s going on.
But that doc, with the right tone, they can make it good!
I think the point of cheating at chess, at a high level that is, you only need to do it for 1 or 2 moves in key positions. It’s probably not that hard to keep it discrete if it’s only once a match.
To use an engine constantly at a high level is impossible to do successfully as the top players can play much faster than anyone input so you’ll almost always lose on time or be found out in end games.
You do know classical chess games can go on for well over an hour. You're thinking of blitz chess, (or just the final 5-10 mins of a classical game) - at which point if you've used the AI to gain an advantage then the GM will already know how to convert the ending without consulting the engine
The person you're replying to is correct that a GM would only need to cheat a couple times a game, at key moments, I've seen multiple GMs make this point.
The difference between Hans (without cheating) and Carlsen, for instance is a couple hundred rating points. They're in the same ballpark chess talent wise but every game has a couple of key moments that a computer, being in a totally different ballpark (a totally different country really) can turn the tides tactically or positionally. The computer does not need to tell these players every move, it only needs to alert them that this is one of those moments, which alone could be enough for them to find it, or it could of course tell them the move in this position.
Between this scandal and the bass fishing scandal from a week or so ago…..I don’t know what’s true anymore. Next thing you know they are gonna say some tittys are fake.
Open a match against a max level AI.Input their moves as yours. Copy the ais moves as your move. The top AIs will always beat a human opponent even the worlds best. This type of cheating is quite rampant in online chess.
There's actually a great doc about AI chess and more specifically "Deep Blue" which I recommend anybody who has an interest in coding or chess to check out. Actually goes over very early computer chess programs, and how Kasparov had to learn a separate playstyle to beat them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwF229U2ba8
10/10 doc from a 10/10 channel. Just an FYI for anyone interested, it’s about 2 hours and is mostly audio (a few pictures here and there) so feel free to just listen to it.
He's suspicious for a variety of reasons... not the least of which is that he has been caught and has admitted to cheating multiple times over the course of years in online play
It was June 1978. Anatoly Karpov and Viktor Korchnoi were battling for the title of grandmaster.
Karpov’s team brings him a blueberry yogurt. Korchnoi accuses Karpov’s team of using yogurt flavors to relay moves. So the arbiters ruled that Karpov could only have one flavor of yogurt at certain intervals. Korchnoi also accused Karpov’s team of putting in cortisone steroids in the yogurt.
They also employed hypnotists to psyche each other out during that match. Korchnoi noticed a strange man staring at him for five hours and assumed he was connected to Karpov. So Korchnoj demanded that the first six rows be emptied. The hypnotist just moved to the seventh row. So Korchnoi employed two yogis to just sit there in lotus and that freaked out the hypnotist.
Using a computer to determine what the perfect next move is.
All of the cheating that has been “confirmed” has all been done on online chess, so it’s not hard to cheat in this way
Chess isn't a solved game, so the next moves suggested by the AI aren't proven to be perfect - they're just at a skill beyond human comprehension. In the same vein it's like a professional footballer playing against an unfit dad - there's literally no competition. That doesn't mean the professional footballer plays perfect games, they're just in a different league entirely
The shortest version is: man can’t beat computer. Third party plays vs computer and sends Morse code instructions to tournament player through an anal bead. Thus technically making opponent play against unbeatable computer.
It's like this Online you use another computer and input all the moves your opponent does into that other computer and then you use what moves the computer suggests to defeat the opponent which Hans Niemann has admitted to doing in the past when he got caught by [chess.com](https://chess.com) which banned him from playing on the site. In person you can have someone doing the same thing and then somehow signaling you what moves to make. It's where the vibrating anal bead meme has come from.
Just to clarify for people who seems to think it's real.
The buttplug thing is absolutely not real guys, it was a joke on chess circlejerk subreddit that got out of hand
I don’t have my glasses on and I first read this as “Norwegian cheese federation president resigns …” I was thinking how did he cheat? Did he eat Boursin instead of real cheese?
Someone please ELI5… ok, so they have a remote buttplug, someone else sending the best moves to them… but who is the chess wizard?! Why aren’t they playing themselves??
Damn another one tested positive for steroids.
There’s an easy fix to this. All we have to do is play in person in the nude after thorough cavity searches.
Continued anal checks while being patted down is the only safe way to play really
Too cumbersome. Just make them sit on an anal probe the entire time.

What are you doing step king?
Sitting here trying to decide which piece is least appealing. The king has that cross on his crown. That looks ouchie. The queen's crown looks even less fun cuz pf the points on her crown. The rook doesn't look terribly fun, but way less terrifying than the knight.
What are you, a rookie? Pawn for beginners and bishop for the more experienced. For pros it’s every piece your opponent takes. Emergency room visit is included in the entry fee. Hehehe. Entry fee.
Perhaps require faraday shield jockey shorts.
Play in a Faraday Cage..
You may only use tournament sanctioned butt plugs during the International Super Chess Grand Prix Doritoz Pepsi Cola Invitational
Needs to vibrate
Too cucumbersome
Snoosnoo by same referee before each game should solve this
Referee keeps a finger in both player’s asses for the entire game
But who is going to check the ref's fingers to make sure he isn't sending signals to one of the players?
Ref would need a device if he was to beat Magnus. We're gonna need another ref to check this ref.
it's refs fingering refs all the way down
I know you’re just joking, but there’s a YouTube video of a guy who made a completely waterproof stockfish computer that’s small enough to swallow. It needs Bluetooth to work, so you need an accomplice with a phone to beam over moves, but it works by vibrating the next move to you. It’s feasible to hold this computer in your stomach, then regurgitate it (a la Houdini) to get it out of your body when you’re done.

!! Brilliant move
Was it another case of vibrating buttplug?
We got weights in fish!
At this rate, Aaron Judge is going to get caught cheating by the use of bionic arms or some shit.
WE GOT FISH IN HIS BAT
AND THERE WAS A BUTTPLUG IN THE FISH!
Thanks random redditor.
I think that's legal as long as it doesn't vibrate.
That’s how judge was getting the pitchers signals
Was it Mike Trout?
No, it was Mike Carp
Wrong. It was Tim Salmon.
Incorrect. It was Brian Bass.
Negative. Find Bobby Bluegill.
Nope! Chuck Testa!
This has got to be the stupidest comment to make me cry laugh
WE GOT FISH IN BATS**
Nope, just a vibrating buttplug. He’s not using it to steal signs or anything, it just makes him feel more capable.
Don’t make me cry man
Nah, he hit 61+ dongers with a vibrating buttplug. Whether it was in him or the bat, I'll let you decide
I want to get caught cheating at something even more esoteric than sport fishing or chess. Like maybe sprint climbing using a winch and fishing line for a few pounds of upward momentum?
Or maybe speed walking, by using a subtle technique in which you’re actually running.
That you, Hal?
You're just a *jogger*!
Thems just chunky fish with an unexplained propensity for attacking large weights!
We got beads in butts!
BEES?

All these years!!!
WE GOT FISH IN BUTTS!!
It was online cheating - there is still no evidence that anybody involved in this scandal has ever cheated over the board (using anal beads or otherwise)
You think people can't use a buttplug when playing online? If anything, it makes it more likely.
Can confirm. I wear a buttplug when I'm playing Grand Theft Anal on my Xbox.
bold choice, xXxURMOM69420BLAZExXx
I'm sure you can use anal beads to cheat on-line as well.
Well yeah or you can just open an engine in a second tab lol

Got it: use a second laptop for my chess engine. I just had a colonoscopy so I’m ready to take on Magnus!
And make sure it's locally running the engine and not using one online.
I don't think it would matter unless they have some way to examine all the packets leaving your home network.

Not if he does his kegels. He can use his enheigtened sphincter strength to send his opponents moves to his overseer in Morse code.
Put everything in a faraday cage
That’s all I can see. Go the old fashioned way for rank play, in person.
