Cheating is Everywhere: The Ongoing Chess Cheating Scandal (Writer: Klasifikovany | Layouter: Atencia )

In the past few weeks, international media as well as a surprising amount of well-known internet personalities have been covering what is currently happening in the world of professional chess. Naturally, people who normally publish chess content on YouTube, such as GothamChess and GMHikaru, have been discussing the cheating scandal. GMHikaru, Hikaru Nakamura, is a Grandmaster (GM), which is the highest possible chess title, aside from world champion, and the title is granted to players with an Elo rating above 2600 or 2700, with the latter being more common these days. GothamChess, Levy Rozman, is an International Master (IM), the rank below GM.

Additionally, bigger creators such as Charlie (MoistCr1TiKaL/penguinz0) and Ludwig (Ludwig/Mogul Mail) have both been covering the scandal. As Ludwig said in a recent video, cheating seems to be in the wind these days.

Professional chess is rarely getting the same media attention as many other professional sports and sport related events. However, what is currently happening in the world of chess is getting a lot of media attention. Now without much further ado, why is this getting attention, and what is actually happening?

I've heard some theories about the alleged vibrating, such as that it possibly only would occur when there are critical moves but idk.. it sounds a bit too wild to be worth considering as the truth, unless it's actually proven, but it would still be insanity. 

Yeah, cheating isn't really a surprise. My theory is that if it is possible to cheat, people will cheat, and I don't think you can truly succeed in any type of sport without cheating in some way these days. Especially considering that people are caught cheating, and often nowhere near the top when it happens. Either they suck at cheating, or everyone else is just better at cheating than them. Allegedly, in my opinion. 
Oh, I'm just invested in this scandal if it is true and he ends up telling everyone how it works. This is basically my only request when it comes to this whole affair.

Definitely. I mean the same goes when it comes to doping and shit. As soon as there is competition and something to gain, people will go out of their way to assure being the one on top.
We'll have to wait and see really, it's not even 100% sure he has been cheating more than he himself have admitted to, it's really difficult to prove anything. Either way, though, his reputation will remain tainted so if he has cheated, it would be better to admit it and talk about how, and pursue a career in combating cheating, rather than actively playing himself. 

Might as well allow doping at this stage honestly. 
I mean I love that meme of someone saying we should make a doping olympics and just see how far humans can take it. Like how far can they really run, how high really jump. Just fuck some guys up, they get payed enough they obviously don't care about their health. Go on and just make a special olympics and call it "sports unlimited" or something.

What made me wonder most when there was this claim of Niemann cheating with the help of electronic anal beads or whatever they said it was ... HOW THE FUCK???? Like, would he have to memorise a specific vibrating pattern to figure out which figurin to move to which spot??? Sending out such a sequence would probably take way too long considering the time limits they have for making their move.

Like I'm not surprised at the cheating. Not in the lest bit surprised at half of the top players being cheaters and earning a shitton money like that. It's a sport with financial reward for winning, OF COURSE there will be people who will cheat for as long as it goes undetected. But I seriously need someone to explain to me how the communication of that vibrating device was meant to function, because holy shit, this is just pure gold.
