I don’t think using sex toys in a relationship is cheating tbh.
Open communication is key.
If my partner told me upfront that they want to use a vibrator, I’d personally be fine with that. But if they did it secretly, it would call into question our entire history. A good relationship is built on trust and an honest representation of each person’s Elo rating.
They should make chess piece shaped butt plugs. Some pieces are just perfect like the bishop.
Omg I read dies.
“I was using it purely for anal pleasure, it was completely unrelated to the chess match at-hand.”
Looking back at this. This whole thing was a wild ride. Magnus took being a sore loser to another level.
Grade A asshole
Known cheater plays a perfect game as black against a world champion who has never lost as white in decades. Grade A asshole, yep.
I don’t know anything about the chess drama, but it really doesn’t matter who you are, don’t publicly shame when you could do it privately.
It’s kinda hard to privately resign from a match and refuse to play in a tournament because you think an opponent is cheating
You’re misunderstanding/misrepresenting the historical/societal role of shame. Its not just a personal feeling to be felt, or more likely feigned, nor is it something one person is capable of imparting to another who is not already inclined towards it.
One’s elders do not wait for friends and family to leave the room before calling out shamefull acts, nor would doing so serve any purpose.
If your dumb enough to believe the reddit meme about a vibrating butt plug being how he cheated, seriously reconsider your life
Reddit meme? You mean the explicit statement/accusation by Magnus Carlson himself on Twitter, and the youtube video I linked that shows exactly how its possible with little effort?
The good people of the internet can’t do all the reading and video watching for you - Most of have lives, but can still be bothered to look into whether we should open our mouths with some dismissive bullshit. What’s your excuse?
Holy shit, this was a real thing?! So that’s where It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia got the idea!
@Decoy321 @TheJims It was definitely a real controversy for months a while back. He won and his opponent iirc accused him of having a vib to help him cheat.
General concensus is that it’s unlikely. The sheet complexity of communicating movements via vib patterns alone makes it a stretch.

Too easy
Wasn’t the accusation that he had a device in his shoe, and the buttplug thing was just a joke that got out of hand?
