The chess world was taken by storm recently as a big controversy between Hans Niemann and Magnus Carlsen took the stage by storm. The 19-year-old chess master seems to have become the centre of one of the biggest chess controversies since 2006 with the recent incident that took place.
Niemann was accused of cheating world champion and world no. 1 Carlsen– who, in a big statement decided to withdraw from the $500,000 Sinquefield Cup after losing to the youngster. While Niemann has grossly denied cheating of any sorts in the event, his points have currently shot up to 2701, which is an increase from the 2484 he had in January 2021.
But how did Niemann cheat? While there are several theories floating around, the biggest and most bizarre one comes as him ’employing wireless anal beads that assisted him by vibrating the correct moves.’ What exactly are these anal beads, and how do they work?
What exactly are ‘anal beads’ and how do they work?
It was alleged that Niemann used something called ‘anal beads’ during the game to actually win it. According to the Daily Mail, speculation said that he “inserted wireless vibrating anal beads into his body before his victorious match.” While it may sound rather off-putting, there is a strategy hidden behind using them.
Chess experts made the assumption that one of Niemann’s confederates was observing the match and using a computer chess program to figure out the best possible moves. He then transferred the strategy through “wireless anal beads” using a grifter version of the Morse code. It acts almost like a wireless telegraph, that was made famous in the movie Casino.
