[@mosaic.owl.studios]

I think when, 1. You've cheated before and gotten away with it, 2. There are stakes involved in competition, 3. Cheating cannot easily be proven... Then the motivation is there along with a nice risk-benefit analysis. Dlugy has a bit to gain, too. There is no proof of cheating, but every behavioral element is there to support conditions for cheating.

[@genox633]

thats true, however that is only speculation when there is no definite proof and is dependant on peoples interpretation of his speech, ultimately i agree, hans had been acting peculiarly, but he is a pretty decent chess player.

There is a way to know. If its a mole as Magnus suspects then simply not sharing his strategy and playing him again without having planned his game with a potential leak. If he's using a bot and not a leak it will indeed be hard to catch him if he is. Hans clearly does not tell the truth in his public statements and he is still young and as a young person cheating in some cases is less serious in their minds because they watched the extreme hypocrisy of previous generations.

[@Baddaby]

So I guess each player needs to be stripped naked before a tournament, given a chess robe/slippers, have their heads shaved, thorough cavity search, body scan, and drug screening before playing. Should also check for AI contact lenses and potential devices in the teeth. Players shouldn't face each other to be safer because of possible psychological manipulation. Basically chess prison. One more thing, players shouldn't know who they are facing.

In this situation Hans picked a line to study that Magnus has only played once. That's pretty suspcious. At the end of the day I'm neutral on this, but Hans' reputation preceded him, there are consequences for wrongs that are done, that doesn't mean that you can't come back from it and maybe Hans has, but at the end of the day you still have to earn back that trust, so it isn't surprising to see that Hans wasn't believed.

I don't get the searching the shoes thing. I mean, if it can be hidden in the shoe, it can be put in your underwear or groin region. No one is going to strip them down completely naked or give a rectal or vaginal exam. With technology getting even smaller, and with women having tampons or other stuff they could easily insert or hide something in their body cavities. Even between breasts or anything. In such cases like that, what can they do? They just need to get past the checks, and then once inside, they can just go toilet and take it out of their body cavities and then set it up properly or turn it on. Or like if they had to hide it in something else to get past the metal detectors. I dunno how the tech works, but maybe wrap it in something like how a faraday cage blocks wireless signals.
