Chess grandmaster Hans Niemann denies using vibrating sex toy to cheat
Holy shit, this was a real thing?! So that’s where It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia got the idea!
@Decoy321 @TheJims It was definitely a real controversy for months a while back. He won and his opponent iirc accused him of having a vib to help him cheat.
General concensus is that it's unlikely. The sheet complexity of communicating movements via vib patterns alone makes it a stretch.
Plus... ya know: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWCDc4I0cSQ
Wasn't the accusation that he had a device in his shoe, and the buttplug thing was just a joke that got out of hand?
Why do your comments tag anyone remotely involved in this?
Because that’s how Mastodon works.
Ah ok, weird. Thanks!
