Chess player disqualified for mobile phone tips
Indian chess player Umakant Sharma (Umakant Sharma) was disqualified for ten years for using a mobile phone during a match. A Bluetooth headset was sewn into his headgear, “telling” the right moves for the chess player.
Umakant Sharma, who, within 18 months from the date of his appearance, rose suspiciously quickly in the ratings, also gave out his accomplices, who were outside the playing hall. Now employees of the Indian Chess Federation are “probing” other possible scammers, reports Reuters .
Similar frauds may have occurred during the match between Kramnik and Topalov for the title of world chess champion. The Russian was constantly leaving the toilet, and after the match a network cable was found there.
