How Do You Detect Cheating In Chess? Watch the Computer

First time accepted submitter Shaterri writes "Which is more likely: that a low-ranked player could play through a high-level tournament at grandmaster level, or that they were getting undetected assistance from a computer? How about when that player is nearly strip-searched with no devices found? How about when their moves correlate too well with independent computer calculations? Ken Regan has a fascinating article on one of the most complex (potential) cheating cases to come along in recent memory."

This is made possible by the world of abstraction, where our abstract tools are intentionally wrongly used.
And what makes up a computer program flow but abstraction.
