I love that they actually turned this into an episode of It's Always Sunny - it was entirely believable as the sort of scheme the gang would come up with.
I didn't know the meme or who this person is, and I know about as much about vibrating sex toys as I know about chess- just the basics, I'm not an expert.
how can someone cheat at chess?
how can someone cheat at chess using a vibrator????
Nakamura said in a podcast all he would need to know is that there is a winning move and he'd be able to find it.
So, just one buzz is enough that says "in this position there is a move that wins the game".
Kinda like everyone's ratings in puzzles is higher than in elo because by the very nature of the puzzle there is a winning sequence to find.
In play, if I don't spot a winning tactic I just move to (try to) improve my position. In puzzles if I don't spot a winning tactic, I look again, and again, and again....
you stick it in the ass, and have your partner play a genius AI, partner mimicking the real opponents moves, then somehow coordinate the AIs move to you using the vibrator.
Hans played a near-perfect game as black against the best player in the world who hadn't lost as white in years
Hans made some suspiciously good moves quickly, without much time passing
Magnus played a very rare opening that Hans was somehow able to perfectly respond to without skipping a beat
From these, many people think he cheated. The vibrating butt plug is unlikely, but what is more likely is that Magnus' prep got leaked and Hans was able to hyper-prepare for a specific line of play.
He admitted to cheating online when he was a child. Magnus is clearly just salty someone younger is better than him and is trying to humiliate him to hide his own embarrassment.
An American grandmaster who was part of a row which rattled the world of chess has denied using a vibrating sex toy to cheat.
In September 2022 Hans Niemann sat down to play Norwegian grandmaster Magnus Carlsen in chess's Sinquefield Cup St Louis, Missouri.
Niemann won, but was accused by Carlsen of cheating - a claim which sparked a huge legal row between the pair.
On Monday evening, Niemann spoke to Piers Morgan Uncensored about the scrutiny he has faced since being accused of cheating.
Niemann admitted that he had cheated twice in online matches on Chess.com aged 12 and 16, but denied he had done so in the Sinquefield Cup or any in-person game.
Last month, Chess.com said it stood by its report on Niemann, "including that we found no determinative evidence that he has cheated in any in-person games".
