Ok I don’t actually follow chess, but wasn’t this a thing that wrapped up a while ago as a “no proveable misconduct” and he was again allowed to compete..?
Or is this a different vibrating sex toy issue… (arguably worse..)?

Yes, it was big news a while back, this has bounced back into the headlines thanks to Piers Morgan's shit stirring and the killer comeback from Niemann.
I mean, we’ve all done it, right?
The beads speak for themselves
How was it meant to work, in theory? Someone watching the match, then getting the moves off a computer and then morse-coding the coordinates through his bum vibrations?
I mean, all this is hypothetical but yes - all the matches were live so someone could watch it, pull moves out of a computer and transmit the instructions via a remote controlled set of anal beads but it all seems like an awful lot of effort.
