IM Kotainy was disqualified in an otb tournament in Dortmund.
he was thrown out of the tournament suspected to use a cell phone.
that he told everyone was turned off. but the leaders of the tournament found out it only appeared to be turned off. it could somehow send morse code with subtle vibration.
during his moves he had his hand in the pocket as fare as I understand.

(I came here to talk peacefully, this is useful necroposting. I'm contributing to the topic). I think Chess tournaments have sophisticated metal detectors to prevent Cheating today, so now, OTB Chess is safer from people that break the fair play rules. I'm happy that Chess tournaments have leveled up their methods of catching these people who dare to play unfairly. Thanks to everyone's effort, Chess can finally be a safe, clean, fun and fair game for everyone. (#inb4theneverlock)
Was this necessary?

Wired-up chess player banned
In January 2007, an Indian chess player who stitched a mobile phone ear-piece into his baseball cap to get assistance from an accomplice with a computer was banned from the game for ten years. Umakant Sharma, 25, came under suspicion after he suddenly began thrashing players who were ranked many places above him - winning the All-Indian Chess Championship despite being ranked outside the world's top 50,000 players only a year previously.
Text message moves
At the Dubai Open in 2008, M Sadatnajafi, an Iranian player ranked 2288 at the time, was disqualified from the tournament after he was caught allegedly receiving suggested moves by text message on his mobile phone while playing Grandmaster Li Chao. The game was being streamed live on the internet and it was alleged that his friends were following it at home, mirroring the game using a computer programme and sending moves by text message.
