"I shouted and disturbed other players from their games because I was mad."
Was the entire tournament being played in the toilet ? I can see a lot of players losing on time. Who'd want to press their clock after a splash from the urinal ?

That's the spirit.
BUt if a guy yells at the top of the lungs, he can distrub a hall even if he yells on the toilet.
Gardaí were called to the tournament at the Metropole Hotel on Sunday
after Gabriel Mirza (47) confronted his teenage opponent in a toilet where
the 16-year-old had allegedly being using a computerised device to assist his play.
The sport’s governing body met last night and had been expected to agree
to set up one or more disciplinary committees to investigate the matter.
“It has been insinuated that one chess player was caught cheating and the reaction
of the opposing player discovering this was inappropriate,” the union said in an
earlier statement.
“In the 100 years of our existence we have never had such allegation; a record we
can be very proud of. We have a code of conduct that all our players adhere to; it
is there to allow our members to play chess in a sporting environment.”
Mr Mirza yesterday denied he had overreacted by pulling the teenager from the
toilet.
“I had to prove he was cheating. I was afraid he would throw the tablet into the toilet.”

Both Mr Mirza and the young player – who comes from a prominent
fee-paying Dublin school – were disqualified from the tournament.

I suspect the youngster is alleging assault and that's why the police were called ? That seems a common tactic when your caught and some "touches" you no matter how lightly.
Their view of this incident is quite humerous and supply two brilliant pictures
that will have you smiling all day. (well it has me.)
One sad note I see in all this besides the main story of being expelled for whistleblowing is the 400 pound prize, SECOND highest of any Irish tournament. THAT is sad.
