Top French Chess Players Suspended For Cheating

Posted by timothy on from the neither-kosher-nor-cricket dept.

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."

    So the French can't even pwn at Chess without cheating? What CAN they do without stooping to low ethical levels?

    Shoot down Libyan jets after they have landed back at their home air bases? :)
