A cheating scandal left the chess world in a stalemate with allegations of using technology — including vibrating anal beads — to signal winning choices after young American chess player Hans Niemann beat Norwegian chess champion Magnus Carlsen. .The New York Post reported Niemann, 19, made the first move when he defeated Carlsen at the Sinquefield Cup in St. Louis on September 4. .The chess world accused Niemann of cheating and had him banned from chess.com. Tesla CEO Elon Musk said in a since-deleted tweet the winner might have engaged in checkered behaviour to win. .“Talent hits a target no one else can hit, genius hits a target no one can see (cause it’s in ur butt),” said Musk. .Carlsen, 31, is a king, as he is the reigning five-time World Chess Champion. Niemann is a pawn, having been the lowest-ranked player in the Sinquefield Cup. .Carlsen’s loss ended his 53-game winning streak. He ended up saying check, mate, and opted to withdraw from the tournament. .“I've always enjoyed playing in the @STLChessClub, and hope to be back in the future,” he said. .He included a video of a speech by soccer manager Jose Mourinho, who said if he speaks, he would be "in big trouble, and I don't want to be in big trouble." .Observers online wanted to keep Niemann in check by alleging he used technology to cheat, despite no evidence of foul play. .One allegation was he was not knightly by having vibration-based buttons placed in his shoes to communicate with a chess engine hidden somewhere in their clothing to receive advice on the moves to make. The computer systems predict game outcomes and provide recommendations to win. .The vibrating shoes theory jolted other players to believe Niemann was taping into a computer using a prostate-massager or wireless anal beads, but no one could prove how this crappy move could be done. .He was frisked prior to entering, and security found no items. .The Meltwater Champions Chess Tour launched another tournament for September, which will be a battle of the ages. .The Julius Baer Generation Cup, the seventh leg of the $1.6 million tour running from September 18 to 25, will feature 16 world-class players spanning the age spectrum..Niemann and Carlsen could face off against each other again, as they have announced they will show up.
