Imagine Magnus Carlsen cheating.

There was a recent scandal at the World Computer Chess Championships. Apparently stockfish was caught consulting Carlsen during several of the games. Stockfish was immediately disqualified. Carlsen was unavailable for comment.

@weplaychess90 "Imagine if he had a vibrator inside his body, which would vibrate 1 time for each column, and another vibrator for the lines. So if the move is b4, one will pulse twice, and the other, 4 times."

Where would he put vibrator? It would be visible in his ear. It would disrupt his sinuses if it was up his nose and affect his speech if it was in his mouth. Otherwise, it's an interesting idea.

I'm sure Magnus got stronger thanks to intensive training with engines but his understanding is superior

It depends. Cheating his girlfriend? I would not care. Cheating about the authorship of a chessable course? I would laugh. Cheating detected by chess.com/? I would not believe it.

Anyway I would make me a good green darjeeling tea and go through the forum.

@clutchnutz I don't think that a vibrator inside his nose would disrupt the sinuses. It just has to be small enough and weak enough to not causing a major damage.

@clutchnutz There is actually a method of using a vibrator for treatment of inflamation of the sinus:

@weplaychess90 With your idea - the cheater would might put the wrong piece on the signaled square and lose the game.

The cheater would need a third device to signal the piece. That's why chess notation usually has three symbols for a move.

@ambrooks well, if you are a Grandmaster elo 2550 already, you would not be confused if 2 vibrators would only signal the column and the line, not the piece, because of your experience with the game.

I would like though to take back some things that I've said. Magnus is a genius, and he is not cheating here:

In fact, he is winning a bullet torunament while drinking a lot of beers. Look after minute 30 how amazing he is!
