King to Butt Four: Investigation Concludes That Chess Champion Really Took a Crap On the Game. Cheating More Than 100 Times
Well if he's receiving "outside assistance" in online play -- obviously, using a chess computer to tell him what move to make next -- then he's also doing so in live person-to-person play. And you know how he's suspected of doing that, right? The suspicion is that he's being signaled by a device he wears on the body, or rather... in the body, which pulses in a certain way to signal to him "e5" or "b7" or whatever. That device? Some kind of, erm, remote-controlled anal stimulator which has been modified to issue precise pulses. He would have a confederate monitoring the game, feeding the current position into the chess computer, and then using his remote control to tell Niemann "g5." (Usually chess notation is just done by two characters, which tell you what destination your piece is heading to; only if multiple pieces can get to that square do you have to specify the square the piece is leaving from, i.e., "g4-g5.") They also suspect that some female champions are doing this, albeit, employing a less gross and less emasculating method of smuggling the signaling device into the match.
When world chess champion Magnus Carlsen last month suggested that American grandmaster Hans Moke Niemann was a cheater, the 19-year-old Niemann launched an impassioned defense. Niemann said he had cheated, but only at two points in his life, describing them as youthful indiscretions committed when he was 12 and 16 years old. Now, however, an investigation into Niemann's play--conducted by Chess.com, an online platform where many top players compete--has found the scope of his cheating to be far wider and longer-lasting than he publicly admitted. The report, reviewed by The Wall Street Journal, alleges that Niemann likely received illegal assistance in more than 100 online games, as recently as 2020. Those matches included contests in which prize money was on the line. The site uses a variety of cheating-detection tools, including analytics that compare moves to those recommended by chess engines, which are capable of beating even the greatest human players every time. The report states that Niemann privately confessed to the allegations, and that he was subsequently banned from the site for a period of time. The 72-page report also flagged what it described as irregularities in Niemann's rise through the elite ranks of competitive, in-person chess. It highlights "many remarkable signals and unusual patterns in Hans' path as a player." While it says Niemann's improvement has been "statistically extraordinary," Chess.com noted that it hasn't historically been involved with cheat detection for classical over-the-board chess, and it stopped short of any conclusive statements about whether he has cheated in person. Still, it pointed to several of Niemann's strongest events, which it believes "merit further investigation based on the data."
Note that they have only claimed to have established he cheats in online play. No one's yet suggesting he's got an Anal Buddy signaling him during games. When this first broke, people wondered if it meant that competitors would have to undergo the indignity of a prison body cavity search before play. I guess, maybe. Or, they can just be seated inside a faraday cage, which should prevent all signals from going in or out. I don't know if that will permit camera signals in or out-- if they picture is conveyed first by a telescope-like tube carries the image out of the faraday cage and then, only once outside of the faraday cage, is then converted into an electronic signal, could that work? (Same for sound -- an audio pipe carries sound out of the cage.) I guess the holes for those tubes would defeat the faraday cage, though. Eh. Body cavity search it is. BTW, a couple of months ago I watched a documentary about the cheating scandal in the competitive Bridge world, called Dirty Tricks. A good amount of money at play, there, too. Turns out, a fair number of champions were also cheating when it all shook out. Worth the watch. You don't need to be familiar with bridge because they keep it pretty superficial and just tell you what you need to know, which is that you're not allowed to communicate with your partner except for the permitted bid cues (one heart, three diamonds, etc.), but that people do find ways to secretly signal their partners, and this is cheating. I'd say, though, that knowledge of bridge increases enjoyment of it. PS, if you watch carefully, you can spot the method of cheating. It's in plain sight. Though it's very subtle. (I didn't catch it.)
Computers have "nearly infallible tactical calculation," the report says, and are capable of beating even the best human every single time. The report says dozens of grandmasters have been caught cheating on the website, including four of the top-100 players in the world who confessed.

On Tuesday, the New York Times framed a story circulating on the right over a software company's connection with the Chinese Communist Party as a "right-wing conspiracy theory."
"At an invitation-only conference in August at a secret location southeast of Phoenix, a group of election deniers unspooled a new conspiracy theory about the 2020 presidential outcome," was the Times' original lede (via the Daily Caller).
In it, the Times wrote that "right-wing" election deniers in Arizona had fabricated a conspiracy theory that election software company Konnech had secret ties to the CCP, and was passing them information on around two million US poll workers.
Chaser: The next morning, Konnech executive Eugene Yu was arrested for the alleged theft of poll workers' personal information.

Also you catch the fish in advance of the tourney, keep alive and stash em for pick up during the contest. The cheater was standing there while the dropped the weights, fillets out of his three fish.

Carlsen was beaten badly. And he said something like, "look, I play chess prodigies all the time. But they are always concentrating stressed, working hard during the game." As they should, right? Go up against the champ, you'd better be bringing your "A" game. "But Neimann was relaxed and almost bored."
And then, when asked after the match to explain his moves ("Hey, you just beat the champ! How'd you do it?") Neimann couldn't explain his thinking.
Nothing suspicious there.

They could likely monitor the local area for radio transmissions timed to the players' turns. You'd have to really want to cheat to encrypt such transmissions. So, before long, you could build a pretty thorough database on transmissions and moves to detect a pattern of cheating.
Jamming would be a more legally problematic solution.
How about those airport body scanners or metal detectors?

I doubt it would be hard to detect a cheater. A person, even a master, would have an erratic pattern of move times. First move, instant. Someone does a tough move, you have to spend a significant time deciding what to do.
For a computer triggered move, though, it would be essentially the time of transmission only given a decent computer. So you could see this inferior player turning out moves at regular intervals, and not really thinking about his moves in between.

Someone and presumably not the player has to tell the computer the other players moves.
You can pass wires and such through a faraday cage and it would be hard for a broadcast signal to go in the same way. A bend in the pipe would do.

It needs input of how the game is going, that has to come from outside. That suppository doesn't have cameras coming out your nostrils or something Morse coding each move would take quite a while and be easy to mess up.

I guess that's the leading theory at this point. N.B.: chess.com has NO direct evidence of Hans OTB cheating. They have his confession to cheating online, and the confessions of many other online cheaters, including GMs and FIDE Top 100 players. The spin on this story is unsupported by the text of the report, which I read in full last nite.

Its a variant of Baccarat. You're trying to get as close as possible to a given number with two cards, and the dealer has a slight edge. The more you know about the game the dumber it feels, but I mean, blackjack isn't far off. A lot of games are really stupid the further you get away from them and look at it objectively.

Years back when a friend was thinking about going into business with a mutual acquaintance, I told him "Look, Bob (Not His Real Name) is a fun guy to hang out with in the bar. Barrel of laughs. Doesn't mean I'd go into business with him. Or have him as a roommate with any expectation of him paying his share of the bills. Or play cards with him for money. Or..."
The friend went into business with Bob anyway. And you already know the rest of the story.

In general, yes. The best female chess player would kick my ass at chess. But that doesn’t appear to be the case for high levels of play; there’s never been a female grandmaster, for example.
Arguments can certainly be made (and are) that this is not biological, but cultural. I would not bet that way, however.
Men and women do have different brains and excel at different intellectual tasks. It’s very likely that these differences come into play in competitive, high-level chess play, just as it probably comes into play for high-level engineering skills.

Its the same way with Scrabble, although it doesn't have big bucks tournaments and is not used as a stand-in for "this character is smart" in movies and TV. The computer has a million-word vocabulary it can search in a millisecond and use the board to get maximum score every time. No human can come close to matching that.
So when I play it on my tablet, I play the computer on the dumb mode so it handicaps its self.

Hey, we just base it on the amount of closet space devoted to shoes.
Men own a pair of sneakers or other casual shoes, a pair of sandals for the beach, a pair or two of work shoes (dress shoes for an office job, steel toes for construction, and so on, depending on the type of work he does) and maybe a pair or two nice shoes shoes for weddings and funerals (assuming he doesn't already wear dress shoes for work).

No; I was just riffing on the idea that women spend much of their time thinking about shoes. I have never had more than three pairs of shoes-not including sneakers- at any time in my life, unless I had them when I was a very small child and don't recall.

Dress shoes (1 pair)
Work shoes (1 pair)
Sneakers (1 pair)

Your friend was not looking for your opinion or honesty. He was looking for validation.
I had a similar experience. Big Boss asks me about hiring a person I worked with previously, and as my supervisor. I liked the guy. Nice family man. Complete FUp as a supervisor. Me: "He will not provide the leadership our (f*cked up group) needs." Mgr: "I think he will make a great supervisor with his experience." (I had more experience, but I am NOT a people person.) Repeat almost exact exchange twice more. He hires him. I move to a different apartment. Eighteen months later he fires him for cause

Its like how the wife has 97 products and 80% of the counter space and you have 3 inches to fit a comb, bottle of shampoo, shaver, toothbrush, and can of foaming goo.
Women keep complaining how its unfair that guys have such nice skin as they age. Maybe its because we don't use 13 chemicals on it every morning and evening?

Some years ago I told my wife that I had built a world-beating 40k vanilla marine army that had dominated the local hobby shop. She was enough of a gamer to understand the core rules and she smiled and said "I'm going to crush you. Give me an army."
So while I was getting out the figures she wandered away and when she came back she was wearing...extremely distracting clothing. The game got underway and for whatever reason, she needed to view the table from a lot of different angles and intriguing (and seemingly needlessly provocative) poses.
In point of fact, she did destroy my army. One of only two defeats ever taken by that list. Obviously, I've never been happier to lose a game.

Bwhhhahaha - they had better come up with something good or this goes right back to the Trump Judge down in Florida to adjudicate!

I don't know how many pairs of shoes women have because they only time I've lived with women was with college roomates and with my mother and sister. I don't recall how many shoes the one roomate had. The other didn't have many and shoe f fetish does not run in my family.

It shouldn't matter. Why do women have separate chess anyway? It's not a physical game.
Posted by: Mark1971
Men have a greater standard deviation to their IQ bell curve than women. 14.5 to 13.5, approximately. So there are twice as many "gifted" males as females, at about 130 IQ. And about 10 times as many males at 170 IQ. Chess champions aren't in the 100-130 range.....
This also means there are more absolute dolts on the XY side, though. But enough about our political class.....
Men and women have different kinds of intelligence. And spatial IQ is one where men are better, which helps with analyzing chess positions.
Outside of intelligence differences, men are more likely to be "on the spectrum," and to have the single-minded focus to play a godzillion hours of chess to get to those levels without going nuts. .....more nuts.

Remember Obama endlessly whining about how the way the constitutional system works got in the way of what he was trying to do? So he eventually stopped pretending to follow it.
Every time someone suggests we ignore or violate or work around the rules because they "don't work" or "aren't a suicide pact" or "we can't do what we need to" its time to start looking for your tar and feathers. That's how the FBI got so out of control, the legislature granting them more and more loopholes or ignoring systems because TOUGH ON CRIME.

There's no evidence Nieman has ever cheated in over the board games, just on a chess website that is spending $80m to acquire Magnus Group, of which Magnus Carlsen is obviously a stakeholder. After Carlsen lost to Nieman in an over the board tournament and then withdrew in protest chess.com dug up Nieman's past online cheating (which they already had moved on from by giving him a different account and allowed him to continue to play) and banned him even though there had been no new violations giving cover to Carlsen's vague claims of somehow having been cheated out of a win over the board.
I have nothing against a website banning someone for cheating, but the terminally online people who are very overinvested in their ratings on a chess.com seem obsessed with trying to destroy Nieman's chess career as a whole, when most normal people don't really care about online chess anyway. There's also been a truckload of garbage analyses claiming to find patterns in Nieman's play, that even top GM's have been recklessly spreading for views for their youtube or twitch.
