The money shot in the piece:

“Squat & cough would have revealed all,” wrote yet another commenter, alluding to what is now the most outrageous (and popular) theory amid this drama: that both Carlsen and Niemann have been using vibrating anal beads to cheat. In a thrilling piece of fanfiction, redditor u/XiTro imagined that Niemann had stolen this sophisticated butt toy design from Carlsen and attempted to deploy it against him in the match. When Carlsen recognized what was happening, he more or less had to throw in the towel so that he wouldn’t be caught with a signal-emitting device up his ass. Or so this version of the story goes.

If I can't wear a vibrating butt toy when playing chess then I don't think I want to play chess anymore.

Maybe they can set them up to be based on the game itself. Take a pawn, get a little vibration. Take the queen, and it gets turned up to 11.

Still trying to determine who figured out getting your anus stimulated made you a better chess player. Guess it was accidental ... butt try explaining THAT

When I read about the cheating earlier this month, it’s suspected someone sends codes messages on moves, after running through AI chess I believe.

I wonder if the patriots can use this new technique to their advantage.

Or can you imagine the Astros?

I haven't heard that there's a shred of proof of any of this. They just think he probably couldn't have won without some sort of advantage. People like to speculate about vibrating anal beads.

I have a son that is deep into the “chess scene” and plays tournaments all over the place. In the last 9 mos people have been caught at small/large tourneys cheating. There are much tougher security protocols lately.

How deep do these need to be?

I see an opportunity for chess here. Add a little cam show element to a chess match. Evertime someone donates a dollar on the live feed it sends a buzz to one of the players.
