It is possible. This is part of what is fascinating. The entire issue isn't an issue exclusive to this one particular person doing 'it'. Theoretically, anyone with a rating north of 2000, which is a large number of people relatively speaking, could do 'it'.

Re: Chess Drama
That was unexpected.
Also, of course he did.
Tesla and Space-X CEO Elon Musk took that as his cue to enter the fray. In a tweet that has since been deleted, Grimes' ex-husband augmented a quote from 19th Century German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer to fit the current controversy.
"Talent hits a target no one else can hit, genius hits a target no one can see (cause it’s in ur butt)," Musk wrote in response to the above tweet.

Re: Chess Drama
I am ignorant when it comes to the atmosphere around chess matches. If this teenager isn't memorizing engine moves, then how would someone relay them to him? I would think they couldn't sit there looking at their cell phone. Would someone from the audience give him signs like a 3rd base coach? I'm wondering what the real-time relay system would be.

Re: Chess Drama
You'd need someone more familiar with technology than myself, but pretty sure it's not all that difficult to have a wireless receiver/buzzer device in a shoe, hair, crotch, armpit, etc that's controlled remotely. Apparently they make beads you can put in your vagina or butt that do this. No reason it has to be in those places, and definitely no reason the technology can't be modified/improved when hundreds of thousands/millions of dollars are on the line.mikechamp wrote: ↑September 28 22, 8:33 amI am ignorant when it comes to the atmosphere around chess matches.

They broadcast the game live, so theoretically you could have someone within range and the ability to transmit signals monitoring the game and relaying codes/engine moves to your receiver/buzzer.
I can't imagine it's all that difficult.
After Magnus left the Sinquefield Cup, they started making people go through a metal detector and monitoring the room for radio frequencies. They also delayed the broadcast of moves by 15 minutes. Take it fwiw, but it seems to indicate they were guarding against radio transmissions from external parties to the players.

Also, take it fwiw, SSS and all. In Hans first 3 games, he had two victories and one draw. Good for 2.5 points. After the added security measures, in his next 6 games he had zero victories and four draws. Good for 2 points.

I mean, if he can receive vibrations down there and decode them without showing anything on his face, that's pretty impressive. His chess face is better than most people's poker face.
