    Is anything sacred anymore?
    We have a scandal rocking the world of chess. ALLEGEDLY, Hans Niemann, an admitted cheater, used anal beads and artificial intelligence to cheat during a match against Magnus Carlsen. Carlsen, who is a friend of Daryl Morey and tweets about the Sixers every so often, hasn’t lost a chess match in two years. Hans was […]


    Seriously, you can't make this stuff up.

      Right.
      I read the story straight though, this is the first time I'm hearing of this, I read it from three different sources, including the WSJ.
      First name that popped into my mind was Mike Postle.

      Others had to know besides Vanessa, come on, some of his shit was streaming live.

        Yes but it's also not exactly the same either. With Postle he cheated so blatantly that it was impossible for anyone to think he was playing legitimately after analyzing his hands. Neimann is actually a decent player and if he's cheating over the board, he's doing it very selectively which would be really difficult to detect just analyzing his games. It's likely he has an accomplice that's using an engine and relaying moves to him somehow for live streamed games. The anal beads things is a joke that was retweeted by Elon lol

            Serious Daggles, you leave me in stiches on a daily basis.
            God Bless you sir.
            After Postle, the second name it thought of was Fideles.
            I even said to myself "You know something Nasher, I bet Fideles would love this anal beads story"

              Crazy. Where is the sportsmanship?

              I used to be good at Sports Trivia. I was much better at Sports Trivia than General Trivia. Always a problem w/ people using the cell-phone for help, led to banning at times.

                  Sportsmanship goes out the window soon as money and prestige is at stake

                    Interesting.
                    I just shot a pm to the higher ups.
                    Probably a hiccup in the system.

                    Thanks Dags.
