Don't Knock This Chess Thing

[Snaggletiger]

I remember many years ago, for some reason, there was a well publicized world championship match between American, Bobby Fischer, and evil Russian Commie, Boris Spassky. We don't hear a lot about the game of Chess anymore, and why should we?  Well, maybe we should after all.  copy/pasta foxynewz


The shocking defeat of one of the best chess players in the world sparked accusations of cheating and has thrown the sport into a tailspin over the last few weeks.

Magnus Carlsen, the 31-year-old chess grandmaster who was unbeaten entering the Sinquefield Cup, lost to upstart American player Hans Niemann last week, ending the top-ranked Chess player’s 53-game winning streak. After the loss, Carlsen tweeted he was withdrawing from the tournament, hosted by the St. Louis Chess Club.

"I've withdrawn from the tournament. I've always enjoyed playing in the @STLChessClub, and hope to be back in the future," he wrote, adding a link to a 2020 video from soccer manager Jose Mourinho who famously said after a match, "If I speak, I am in big trouble."

Niemann, 19, immediately faced accusations of cheating – from anything to wireless vibrating anal beads to a vibrating shoe, according to multiple reports. Tesla CEO Elon Musk even added to the controversy with a tweet of his own, suggesting something was in Niemann’s butt during the match. A professional game also suggested something like that as well.

Wow.  I mean, how would those help you cheat though? 
I mean, how would you use them.  Like, how would you insert the beads?  One at a time, or all at once?
So, somebody controls the beads with an app or something?  Trying to move the pawn and BAM! don't do that, stupid.
Those sound helpful and kind of fun.
Do you have a link to buy them?
