	Whatever her inkling, what about Vishy? Surely he must've known as well. The article seems to suggest there might've been some Monty Python's style "wink, wink, nudge, nudge" going on. I liked one comment given online: Quote: This is like breaking a plate and trying to fix it with glue I personally wouldn't give any of them a pass, whether for charity or otherwise. Another testament to the perils of online chess, IMHO.

The attitude of someone who thinks the scandal more important than the misbehaviour itself. Such attitude is not good for chess either. Bottom line: chess players not not ethically superior human beings. As if we didn't know already.

	https://chess24.com/en/read/news/billionaire-admits-cheating-against-anand-in-ch... Obviously the culprits (the billionaire against whom Anand resigned was not the only one using assistance) deserve the strongest of condemnations. However, I cannot find fault only with them. The organizers and, at the very least the commentators, have much to answer to. Tania Sachdev was all smiles and jokes during the post-mortem and only expressed her indigniation in a tweet the following day. Are we to believe that an International Master, moreover with access to engine analysis herself, had no incling to what actually happened in these games ? Not good for chess...
