They have busted him before, privately. His account was closed in 2020 (when he was 16) for cheating. They let him continue playing due to his young age. According to Chess.com, they were going to ban him before Magnus even tweeted anything about the incident. They have intentionally held evidence private so as to respect the privacy of players throughout the ordeal. The only reason evidence was made public was due to Magnus' public accusations (which you could argue were emotionally motivated, yes).

For the same reason, it would be humiliating for tournament organizers to pause the tournament to do a full shoe and cavity search in the moment. It's also ridiculous to expect Magnus to run to tournament organizers and make such a request. I have a feeling even if he did so it would only lead to more people calling him a "man baby."

I know that's what I said it was a joke on line and they ran with it you illiterate fool.

Learn to read.

That's the most absurd part of this whole nonsense.

That and all the people believing both the anal beads and the 100's of times we cam retroactively prove he cheated all of a sudden .

He is cool with every single chess organization except chess.com who have a financial stake in it being true.

Yeah he confessed to cheating when he was 14 . (In an online game)

Shown 100 times all of a sudden though ? Funny how all of a sudden they have "evidence" from previous games . Why not bust him then ?

But yeah I'm sure he had vibrating anal beads and somehow was getting signals from outside of the tournament as there were no spectators and it was on a 15 minute delay online . Sounds real as shit to me . Not even a fan of either player I just can smell big money holding on to power no matter what B.S. when I smell it.

Why didn't Magnus go to the tournament heads and bust him then and there. At least check his shoes for a device anything But run off and pout .

I do like how everyone else is getting busted now . Swiss chess club president and the like .

For the record, you don't need anal beads to cheat in chess if you're a top player. Just a simple signal once or twice a game for something like "attack now" or something as simple as "this this a critical point, think for a bit longer" will win the game for you.

This was one of the things they always bitch at me about. I usually have some kind of thing playing at my desk-music, a Youtube video, something to relieve the tedium of sitting there doing paperwork and answering phone calls and emails. Usually have my headphones on because nobody else in the office has the same interests as me and I don't want to make the 8 middle-aged Hispanic women out of the 11 staff we have listen to the Swedish and German metal bands I like. First it was "Fine, just get your work done." Then it was "We don't mind if we hear that, just don't use your headphones because you might miss the doorbell." Odd, considering that my office is about half the building away from the door and we have two people with offices on either side of the door who can answer it. Now it's "When you have your headphones on it looks like you're not working. Please don't use your headphones at your desk." This is despite the fact that I currently do the work of about 4 people including a hefty amount of what should be my boss' work that he's either too lazy or too apathetic to do. How do I know this? Because last week while he was on vacation we found months of backlogged paperwork stuffed in drawers and in intermixed piles all over the office, as well as the fact that he had over 300 unread emails from clients trying to get ahold of him.

But sure, bitch at me about being considerate and wearing headphones while I'm working.

Its not even real. It was a joke started online being the only way this guy could cheat with their security was if he used vibrating anal beads or something. And the guy that lost ( because he is ruch powerfully and sheltered by the chess community) has just Said yep he must have used anal beads.

No Magnus he just kicked your ass .

If your intrested.

Magnus just sold his little on line chess empire to chess.com for $85 million so they have the monopoly in on line chess games and Magnus is to stay on as the figure head/mascot only to lose his first game in the next tournament. He then left without even telling anyone . He announced on Twitter that he quit the tournament after his next opponent won by forfeit. He is a man baby who can't except that he lost and chess.com is backing him because of their financial interests.

I said my piece.
