Kirill Shevchenko has sparked #Toiletgate2 after being caught cheating with a phone at the Spanish Team Chess Championship. Reactions on the story continue coming.
Mark Crowther, the author of TWIC that just celebrated its 30th anniversary, comments Shevchenko’s case, “The one thing that puzzles me is this is not sophisticated in any way. Disappearing off to the toilet to check a phone every few moves, I mean you’re going to get caught, or at least suspected pretty quickly as happened here.” Crowther adds, “I was told a tale about a guy people knew was cheating but they couldn’t prove it. He had connections to the tech industry. They just cut the live feeds and he stopped playing, because he was so weak in reality. That’s what worries me, not sneaking off to the bog every few mins.”
“There’s something very odd going on here don’t you think? It’s almost like he wanted to get caught,” concludes Crowther.
