chess. A game mastered by a genius. Entertainment for the intelligentsia.What everyone was saying after watching this would get better during the pandemic The Queen's Gambit. Hobbies that we all quickly gave up once we were able to go outside again. It's a beautiful game, but in recent years it's also been a breeding ground for some of the strangest cheating scandals sports and gaming have ever witnessed.
A new scandal is brewing in the world of Xiangqi, known as “Chinese Chess”. Champion Yang Chenglong, 48, won ShangChi's most prestigious award, only to be stripped of his title days later for “disturbing public order” for pooping in a hotel bathtub.
“Mr. Yang drank alcohol with others in his room on the night of the 17th, and on the 18th he defecated in the bathtub of the room where he was staying, damaging hotel property and engaging in acts that violate public order and morals.” and was of a very negative nature,” the association said.
If you thought a 48-year-old man pooping in a hotel bathtub was going to be the worst part of this story, unfortunately, Shang-Chi's world is also embroiled in an anal bead cheating scandal. As a result of discussing Yang's title stripping, Shang-Chi's governing body had to address rumors that Yang had been using vibrating anal beads to cheat during tournaments.
“According to reports circulating on the Chinese social site Weibo, Yang rhythmically clenched and squeezed his hands to convey information about the chess board to the computer via code, giving the computer instructions on what moves to make. It is said to have been sent back in the form of vibrations.
However, tournament organizers say this is impossible to verify, which makes sense if you think about it for a moment.
Bathtub poop aside, the story bears eerie similarities to the cheating scandal that rocked Western chess in 2022, when Hans Niemann allegedly used a similar device to defeat world champion Magnus Carlsen. There is a point.
That makes us wonder: Is chess okay? seriously. If you need to tell us, we won't judge. In just over a year, there have been two scandals involving anal beads, plus one involving defecating in the bathtub. We just want to make sure you're okay.
