Top French Chess Players Suspended For Cheating

cf18 writes "The French chess federation has suspended three top players for violating sporting ethics at a chess olympiad in Siberia last September. The allegation claims while the first member was playing, a second member would watch the game via internet, use software to find the best move, and send it to the third member via SMS. The third member would then sit himself at a particular table in the competition hall. Each table represented an agreed square on the chess board."

If you're taking a game that serously, you fail

[Rogerborg]

Doing it, getting angry about it, either way: fail. Total, utter fail. You're no different to the 12 year olds h4xx0rz1ng Call of Duty, or the other 12 year old screaming about OMFG h4xx0rz. It's a game. Grow up, get over it, find a grown up activity where cheating gets you punched in the throat.

This has been a public service announcement from your neighbourhood adult who's about to go nail his wife in three orifices. Try to focus on that, just for one second. Three orifices, in any order I feel like. How'd you like that, Grand Master k1ll54l0tZ?
