Surprised that we haven't done this...

Would have thought that having your bumhole fizzing away would be more off putting that helpful.
Probably got it on PawnHub..
Now we know how Flash got all pumped up, must have been how he got the message which I guess was all about the money.
It'll make a good plot for a pawn film anyhow.
You wonder what alleged messages were being sent, and how!
What with so many pieces and squares on board I'm surprised that the battery would last (not that I have any experience of such a contraption), or was he running it on a mains lead?
Presumably done via a number of buzzes sending out coordinates. H7 to H8 would be a particularly stimulating move.
Thread title of the year 🤣
Great title!
How did the other player suspect him? What was the sign?
Did he hear a vibration, feel a vibration or was it the look on his face shortly before he played his move that gave him away?
To accuse someone of cheating is one thing but to say you've done it by sticking love beads up your arse is pretty far fetched even by today's standards. I just don't see how he came to that conclusion.
Do we need to review footage of who wants to be a millionaire winners to see who also might have been cheating?
Or is it simply that he's admitted to cheating twice before and he's a bad loser and can't believe he could lose to a young pretender?
I see the case was settled out of court so I guess we will never know.
So many questions.
the main one being, how would you manage to create a workable code with it. How much practice and testing went into this?
practical minds need to know
The thread title does sound like what you'd get it you crossed Harry Potter and 50 Shades of Grey..
How does one cheat in chess? are we talking moving someone else's pieces when they're not looking? I know the basic rules but am not a very good player so I'm struggling to get my head round this
One would have thought that this method would have resulted in some strange buzzing noises. Not all of which could have been passed off as farting, surely? I'm guessing, anyway 🙂
He certainly had a exciting variation on your usual opening.
Mike Boyd tested this concept a little while ago:

New video evidence emerged:

Indeed. We need to get to the bottom of this.
Would you need a code? He can see everything going on (its not poker) so he presumably has someone somewhere with a computer thats working out the technically best move to make. All it needs is for him to hover over a piece and if its the one the computer says yes to, no buzz, and if the computer says no.....
Yes, the principle is that there's an accomplice somewhere with a chess computer transmitting advice. It's pretty far-fetched but certainly possible in principle.
Alternatively he could just be a pretty strong chess player who scored a couple of upset wins.
Sealed room with delayed broadcast has been proposed as a solution.

I can see how it could help with mating but not generally any use with the end game.
Frankly I'm shocked to see that being taken by a bishop isn't enough to make the headlines anymore
Well this thread has brightened the train journey home after a long day!
Removed - probably more inflammatory than I intend it to be so best not eh.
Probably the walk that gave it away.

You need to get some of those beads. 'Sorry love, I fell asleep and missed the station'
‘Sorry love, I fell asleep and missed the station’
Been said before.....
However they resolve it, I can't see it'll be a happy ending. Seems to be a real buzz about the story though.
Didn't improve his chances of winning..... indeed you could say it rectum.
You'd think it would be an easy thing to check anyhow
Could be an episode for the next Star Wars spin off....

Which reminds me of an old biology teacher joke...

Seemed like a good idea at the time!
Are you listening Garmin? I want GPS navigation via USB butt plug on my e-bike come 2025, left, right and right up there!
It's all a bit of a stretch, so maybe we should wait for the post match anal-ysis.
Yeah, better check, mate.

Welcome to Rectum
So cheating online is rife, but there have been instances of cheating in over-the-board competitions, apparently with a vibrating device in shoes having been found before (and people taking mobile phones into the bogs and checking your game)
the theory is you get a coach with the computer analysis to send the signal when you put your hand on the piece that the computer says is the best move
the beads theory was just someone speculating on social media and then went viral - whether Neimann is actually cheating I don't know, but it's got people talking about chess so that's a good thing
it’s got people talking about chess
it's got more people talking about vibrating bum beads. Never mind tournaments, do they help with normal play?
Not as good as “the rotating chin men” but better than “the bum faced goats”

Well, that’s today’s winner of the internet, and in before the bell. As it were. 🫶🏻👏🏻💯🎯
Do we need to review footage of who wants to be a millionaire winners to see who also might have been cheating?
That would be really simple to cheat at with a buzzy thing up your bum, assuming that the person in the audience was clever enough to know enough answers to make it worthwhile. (And that you don't get buzzed by interference from other devices in the studio, which could get very embarrassing!)
I suspect that Only Connect might be a little more difficult to cheat at with buzzy bum devices. 😀
Would have thought that having your bumhole fizzing away would be more off putting that helpful.
I have friends i can ask...
"Friends." Uh-huh. 😁
Mike Boyd built one and tested out the theory
Are we sure dyslexia hasn't caused some confusion here ?, as its normal to play strings will a plectrum 😕
