I always wondered if I was wrong and had ruined the 110 rated player one of their best victories! No. You were right and you ruined the game. edit : Later thought. Were you really the official arbiter? It sounds as though you may have been just a spectator whose decision would be respected in the e...

Thanks! I was technically the arbiter, but more just trying to run the tournament and just using my basic arbiter knowledge gleaned from years of play. I noticed the illegal move as soon as it happened and was walking towards the board to intervene when Player B resigned and they were shaking hands ...

This happened a few years ago, but I never really knew the answer of what should have happened. It was a fairly informal quickplay tournament held at a club. The round only has 1 game still going, so everyone in the room was watching this game. So nearing the late middlegame stage of the game, Playe...

I think it's probably relatively easy to cheat if you are that way inclined. Thinking about this anal bead theory, there is also a vibrator that people on cam use where the viewers tip and it vibrates. If someone set up say a private channel maybe? And allowed one of their friends to view the channe...

I saw this on youtube just now, quite interesting.

James - Carl asked us not to discuss the specifics of he individual. Maybe you could take this to some other social media? It would be good to keep a discussion of cheating in general open.
