The article is oddly coy about how he allegedly cheated.
Ah, Mr Buttplug of AnarchyChess fame
Regardless of any evidence I am going to continue to believe he used a buttplug to cheat at Chess as that is an objectively funnier reality to live in.
It's definitely funny.
I remember he blundered a piece a few years back and he realized it just cost him the game. He then put his hands in his head and then just leaned back his head as if he's just accepted it.
Someone on YouTube then says, "when the computer realizes you lost and then switches to pleasure mode to cheer you up"
Yup. As an amateur chess player I'll be the first to admit that chess is a pretty boring game. Stories like this makes it much less boring.
