What did I miss?


Smiley just Toppy and MVL caught on video sneaking of to this new "confessional box" thing to discuss a position Topalov was playing where MVL had introduced the new move earlier. Little did they know the camera was switched on...

We cannot bring our own pens to the game now so I can't believe FIDE can turn a blind eye to this one.

This sounds even worse than the Nepomniachtchi incident.


Its a lot worse and a lot more serious. I have enquired with FIDE to see if they are going to take any action. Given everything they are doing with anti-computer measures I will be flabbergasted if they ignore traditional cheating methods.

Anybody seen this? Amazing stuff, the two caught discussing a position in the confessional box together.

Good description of it here:

https://chess24.com/en/read/news/sinquefield-cup-5-carlsen-hits-the-front

the whole thing on video  Shocked   Caught red handed as they say.

Perhaps instead of worrying so much about mobiles FIDE could do something about this?
