Did they cheat?

What do you think? They look pretty guilty to me but who can say for sure.

EDIT: I can understand how Varshavsky might of just been having a good day. I know being accused of cheating would screw up my concentration in a big tournament. It seems pretty obvious to me the other guy was cheating though.

I wouldn't hang out with either one of them.

"Cheating at chess may seem like a twisted exercise in ego gratification"

Quite.

I love the part where the guy lost his last 2 games quickly when it seems that he had to abandon his toys.

I know what I'm gonna do in my next OTB tournament. Go to Radio Shack, get a "audionic" walkie-talkie (the ear piece acts as a microphone by picking up vibrations through the ear canal) then have a friend tell me what move to make while I talk through the game. Brilliant.
