Bernd Kohlweyer: "During the last days the referee had noticed a strange behaviour of Jens Kotainy: After each move of his oponent Kotainy put his left hand into the pocket of his trousers and moved his fingers like he was pressing some buttons. According to the official ref Kotainy did this in every game and after every move (with few exceptions like a forced recapture). Today the referee felt it was time to check what´s inside the pocket and they found a Samsung mobile."
Christian Goldschmidt: "I am the Tournament director of the Sparkassen Open in Dortmund. We disqualified Jens Kotainy today from the tournament, because of Computer Cheating. We claimed his cell phone before the round today. Coincidentally we determined that his turned-off(!) cellphone made morselike vibrations."
Marcell Aulich: "his handy was manipulated by his brother , so that he get vibrations and signal codes while it is turned off. he also had an app on his mobile that connected his phone with the computer of his brother. enough material to disqualify him from tournament".... "we think trought an morse code. he is sending an code to the extern pc. he get the moves the same way .... it is noticable that the sound intensity of vibrations was not noticable for any other player it was to quit. anyway if it isnt prove how exactly he does it its enought material to dq him from tournament cause he has all the material to cheat this way"

On suspicion of cheating: Player disqualified from the A-Open.
The leader of the A-Open of the Dortmund Sparkassen Chess Meeting, Jens Kotainy, was today during the 8th round disqualified from the tournament, on account of cheating suspicion.
Kotainy, who was already being accused of several manipulations, was under special watch since the beginning of the Dortmund A-Open by the organizers and officials. In the course of his games the impression that he was taking help from prohibited technology was confirmed. He was then disqualified in the penultimate round of the tournament.
Herbert Bastien, President of the German Chess Federation and patron of the "Dortmund Chess Days", announced in a press conference that there will be a formal process seeking to clarify the factual content, and as-appropriate to undertake further steps.
Site manager Gerd Kolbe regretted that this development had caused a shadow to fall across the 40th anniversary of the traditional Dortmund [chess] festival: "We recognize, that chess is not an island of bliss. [We in] Dortmund have worn it on our sleeves from the beginning to be a signpost for cleanness and fairness in chess [as a] sport. This maxim holds for all tournaments within the Sparkassen Chess Meetings. Thus we are responsible to the players, the spectators, and not-last the sponsors."
