Message: probably do it for the money, and sooner or later they'll be caught, and then they are kicked out from playing at all for life--- or at least for a long time. They gave good advice at the end of the artical though--- H'mmmm--- It just might work. 8-)

Perhaps George Michael should have based his defence on the fact that he was a part time Chess Arbiter !!
Neural implants will be the next "must have" accessory for budding GM's....

1/09/2003 12:39:46 play online chess | the sad fact is..
Message: as computers get smaller and cheaper, cheating is going to be a major problem at tournaments in the future..
I'm sure many of you have heard about people caught in vegas with "perfect card counting" computers hidden on their persons for playing blackjack ( one guy had a system where he'd tap numbers into the computer via his shoe ).. I fear this stuff is headed for chess tournaments where large $$$ is at stake.

Message: however I was told by a friend that his opp was listening to music, he assumed it was rap, but then started to hear just regular talking and also the guy kept saying his moves out lound as he wrote them down- like N to...e6 . so he went to the TD and the TD found an exuse to make him get rid of it, the TD then when turned it on and there was someone sending messages through it- lines. I think the guy can't play in OK

Chess, spy style -- The 1963 James Bond movie From Russia with Love is likely the most famous movie of all time that incorporates chess. The movie opens with Bond's archenemy, SPECTRE agent Grandmaster Kronsteen (Czechoslovakia) brilliantly defeating Grandmaster MacAdams (Canada) in the fictional Venice Invitational Grandmasters Championship. The chess scene takes place in an old castle with a large demonstration board behind the stage where the magnetic pieces are moved with long sticks.

38th Chess Olympiad to open in Dresden -- The highly rated Russian chess team led by former world chess champion Vladimir Kramnik will enter the 38th Chess Olympiad in Dresden as the clear favorite, but one American grandmaster says the U.S. is fielding its strongest ever chess team.

Previously, he had expressed concern about playing a chess match in ...
