Woo, anal beads are back. Can't wait for the chess world to erupt into a buttstorm again. I want analysis from top chess players on if he had a wibrator up there or not
I mean i guess that's a lot better than being suspected of cheating via vibrating butt dildo.
He WAS suspected of cheating via vibrating anal beads!
Someone didnt read the article I see.
Someone can't take a joke I see.
It still baffles me how much this r/anarchychess meme was regurgitated by the media as if it was a legit accusation.
When the media started using tweets as news, they started losing the war to memes. As if random people’s opinion on the internet was somehow important.
Every dildo is a butt dildo if you truly believe.
Only use things with a flared base for butt stuff.
Oh, good point. I always just used penises.
A wise voice arises.
Pretty bad title since it's probably more related to cheating than it is the actual defecation.
Chess champion stripped of title after confirmed cheating, and in other news he defecated in a hotel bathtub. News at 11.
What if the two were related? 😱
Right?
We all know shit happens.
Whom amongst us
It is almost 2024, are anal beads really the only viable mechanism for secretly sending and receiving signals from a body implant?
Maybe not, but I'd wager it's the most fun
If you can't even shit in the bath to celebrate then what's the point in winning?
I like how most sports they use steroids, slight of hand, hidden engineered devices, yet in chess there is anal beads. Imagine in Queen's Gambit series finale showed how the Russians forced their player to win by any means necessary, him screaming and kicking while the KGB grabs him and the camera fades to black
They kind of did this in IASIP. It's in the latest season S16E4 - Frank vs Russia.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The world of Chinese chess is in uproar over rumours of cheating and a bad behaviour scandal that saw the national champion stripped of his title on Monday after a victory celebration ended with him defecating in a hotel bathtub.
But his joy was short-lived, with the CXA on Monday announcing that Yan would have his title revoked and prize money confiscated after had been caught “disrupting public order” and displaying “extremely bad character”.
The association was also forced to address rumours circulating online that Yan had cheated during the competition by using anal beads equipped with wireless transmitters to send and receive signals.
Yan allegedly clenched and unclenched rhythmically to communicate information about the chess board via code to a computer, which then sent back instructions on what moves to make in the form of vibrations, according to reports circulating on the Chinese social site Weibo.
“Based on our understanding of the situation, it is currently impossible to prove that Yan engaged in cheating via ‘anal beads’ as speculated on social media,” the CXA said.
The CXA had published a social media post last week congratulating Yan and other players for their “spectacularly heated high-level gameplay”.
