Standing behind your opponent to look from his perspective is the cringies thing I have heard of today.
You have to do it in a way that seems natural though. When I'm behind my opponent, I like to lean in close and softly say "that looks pretty good, what do you think?" Then I softly put my hands on their shoulders, you know, for a little back rub while they think.
See, not so cringy when you stop to picture it.
And then the belt comes off... Yes, very natural, I must agree there.

At that moment cue the mission impossible music. The opponent is removing a vent in the ceiling of the bathroom to reach the hidden briefcase. Cut back to the game, and you're not there either. Close up of the board, the black king is in check. The audience ponders the symbolism while the noise of a helicopter disturbers the other players. Your opponent hears it too, and quickly escapes through a hidden tunnel exit. Will your opponent succeed in delivering the deadly Russian variation to those who might topple all of western civilization? As he reaches the end of the tunnel we see a clearing. Shot reverse shot and we see your legs in the foreground and the tunnel's exit in the background. Were you one move ahead the entire time...?

Cheating is not allowed to be discussed here urk.
You should not be allowed to leave the board. People can go a whole movie without the need to pee or poo but can't do it for a chess game? When I start OTB tournaments I am following my opponents to the bathroom.
A movie is a lot shorter than a chess tournament. When you're playing 4-5 tournament games in a day, you can't plan to have to use a lavatory in between games and its unrealistic not to have some food and drink between games.
After I've played a 5 hour game, eaten and come back to another 5 hour game, you will desire my going to the bathroom greatly.
the chess.com cheat detection does not work very well. this guy one time had played every single move according to the engine. he didnt get banned
Hey, you're really good at quoting. Maybe in a few years you'll be skilled enough to post a comment too.
