Chess grandmaster Hans Niemann denies using vibrating sex toy to cheat

Hans Niemann was accused of cheating after he beat Norwegian grandmaster Magnus Carlsen last September.
This was a joke invented by r/anarchychess. I'd be amazed if it were real.
I remember when I first heard the rumours and I immediately thought of how sensitive one's anal linings would be to perceive Morse code via a butt plug. Then pondered upon the max possible bandwidth of buttplug-mediated information transfer. Finally, I thought about how to send back information via rythmic anal clenching.
Only then did I conclude that it's probably easier to get better at chess.
A YouTuber tested it and confirmed it's not that difficult to detect messages. They didn't use Morse code but rather a simplified set of signals for move notation
The thing is that the game was broadcast live. One-way communication was enough
We need an expert on this. You gotta go find the guy that designed that butt plug revolver with the clench activated trigger.
Best joke about that I saw was a video of Hans playing someone and looking confident up until a blunder or something. Then he realizes what happened and puts his face in his hands and closes his eyes.
The comment on the YouTube video was: "when the computer gives up and then switches to pleasure mode"
I play chess and I have a... a friend who uses a vibrator
So ofc it's real, just not Hans
Yeah that's what I meant. It's not that it's not real, but the origin of the meme was Hans saying something to the effect of "I'll play Magnus naked to prove I'm not cheating" to which everyone responded that the anal beads technique would be how he did it. Of course the corollary of that is that there are numerous ways for him to cheat while fully clothed.
This is a joke from Its Always Sunny In Philadelphia
Except that this happened before the episode came out.
It was mentioned as joke by Eric from chessbrah during a stream, then it got clipped around went and full on viral when ol Musky shared it.
