Remember GM Nigalidze and his Dubai shameful act?
GM Tkachiev revealed how easy it is to cheat in chess.

Do not try this at home! Well, you can at home, but never on the tournaments!

Edit: Does anyone know how to make the video bigger?

i guess im just a diff breed from people who cheat - i just wouldnt consider it a win or feel good about myself unless i knew that i won fair and square - its important to me to win fairly and also to treat others with respect - obv lots of people dont agree w those things, but thats how i see it

 

i mean what is the pleasure in winning a tournament after cheating?  maybe there is just so much pressure that the person cant take it and breaks and has to cheat, but what is the enjoyment?  like i said, people are different

I think it's a similar thrill as those you get from watching those spy movies where people have to do tense, espionage stuff.

I imagine it getting addictive to some people.

I imagine just the act of concocting some cheating scheme and getting away with it can be a thrill on its own.
