Competitions such as chess are very strict, but there have always been many suspected cheating incidents. Recently, a bizarre cheating incident occurred in China. A chess player was accused of using “smart anal beads” to cheat after winning.

According to reports, Chinese chess player Yan Chenglong, who defeated his opponent in the 2023 China National Xiangqi Folklore Chess Championship Finals, was suspected of excreting in the hotel bathtub after winning the championship and a bonus of 100,000 yuan. The staff found that the bathtub was turbid. The conference was notified that it was estimated that he took out the “smart anal beads” used for cheating in the bathtub and washed them. I argued that I had a stomachache and could not help but defecate in the bathtub, and denied cheating.

Although the conference could not directly prove that he had cheated, it determined that he had damaged hotel public property and had a negative impact on the event and the image of chess. Therefore, in addition to depriving him of all awards and bonuses this year, he also needed to be suspended for one year. In fact, in September 2022, a suspected cheating incident with “smart anal beads” also occurred. At that time, world champion Magnus Carlsen caused discussion after losing to 19-year-old chess player Hans Niemann. However, no evidence was found, and no similar products were seen on the market. tool.
