    It is almost 2024, are anal beads really the only viable mechanism for secretly sending and receiving signals from a body implant?

    I like how most sports they use steroids, slight of hand, hidden engineered devices, yet in chess there is anal beads. Imagine in Queen’s Gambit series finale showed how the Russians forced their player to win by any means necessary, him screaming and kicking while the KGB grabs him and the camera fades to black

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The world of Chinese chess is in uproar over rumours of cheating and a bad behaviour scandal that saw the national champion stripped of his title on Monday after a victory celebration ended with him defecating in a hotel bathtub.

    But his joy was short-lived, with the CXA on Monday announcing that Yan would have his title revoked and prize money confiscated after had been caught “disrupting public order” and displaying “extremely bad character”.

    The association was also forced to address rumours circulating online that Yan had cheated during the competition by using anal beads equipped with wireless transmitters to send and receive signals.

    Yan allegedly clenched and unclenched rhythmically to communicate information about the chess board via code to a computer, which then sent back instructions on what moves to make in the form of vibrations, according to reports circulating on the Chinese social site Weibo.

    “Based on our understanding of the situation, it is currently impossible to prove that Yan engaged in cheating via ‘anal beads’ as speculated on social media,” the CXA said.

    The CXA had published a social media post last week congratulating Yan and other players for their “spectacularly heated high-level gameplay”.
