How's that for a headline, eh? Last week, No. 1 ranked chess player Magnus Carlsen suffered a shocking loss to Hans Niemann at the Sinquefield Cup, ending his 53-game winning streak. Following the upset loss, Carlsen announced that he was withdrawing from the tournament and tweeted out this tweet video of soccer manager Jose Mourinho...
There are allegations stating that Niemann used "wireless vibrating anal beads" to signal winning moves...

According to the Guardian, Niemann has been banned from Chess.com and has been uninvited from the Global Championship.

I can understand how this would work in blackjack with call or no-call but in chess there are so many pieces and so many spots to move them.

I'm thinking morse code with a starting and ending position. A4 C3 would be enough to do it.

Probably has a computer program that will show both players moves and calculates the next best move.
