Cheating at the World Open – more details
17.08.2006 Last week we reported that two players were accused of using computer assistance during their games at the World Open in Philadelphia in July. The story was in the New York Times, but contained some inaccuracies. The tournament director who found the secret communication device sets the record straight. And one of the victims sent us analysis of his game. You'll probably guess who played it.

I think these players should be banned from organized tournaments for a number of years. I'm personally sick of cheating. I see how hard it is for players to bring up their game through study and hard work and then have these losers take advantage. I'm afraid with the present playing level of computers, these guys are going to be with us a long time. We have plenty of them on RHP. Only in our case it's easier because everything's anonymous.
Originally posted by buddy2Yes. Ban them, including from online tournaments, where the ejected player had played in 33 USCF rated events during the two year period in which he lost 6 and drew 14 over 162 games (while also going 18-0-0 in OTB play).

Originally posted by Tinmart69A thing like this is fraud. Fraud is a prosecuteable offense. That is what happened to a man that cheated in a bass tournament by staking a bass in a lake and putting said bass in his live well durring the tournament. The bass was about 16 lb. 4 oz. . The story is too long to tell. Suffice it to say that he was caught and prosecuted in a court of law.

Originally posted by GorgarI saw a court case about a man who was caught adding a bass to his catch in a bass fishing tournament. The bass was caught before the tournament. A bass fishing tournament has prizes and or money for the people that perform well enough. The state called such a act F R A U D. Cheatting at any contest that has a prize and or money to win is a act of fraud?

Originally posted by buddy2I've seen several players wear gloves in OTB tournaments. A lot of chess players at such things lack some of the basics of personal hygiene, and gloves reduce the spread of some consequent health risks from unsanitary chess pieces. Although I'm skeptical that much evil lurks in the inevitable dirt that accumulates on well used pieces, I see no reason to suspect foul play from gloved players. A hood, on the other hand, may well conceal electrical transmitters.
I once played a guy who wore gloves throughout the tournament, although it was the middle of summer. That would arouse my suspicions. Turned out he had a bad case of poison ivy.
