[Image Description: a section of the Wikipedia article "Chess.com" that contains the bullet point "August 2022: The Play Magnus Group accepted an offer to be acquired by Chess.com. The acquisition is scheduled to take place within eight weeks of the agreement at a value of 800 million kr (US$80 million). According to Dot Esports, the Play Magnus Group was only making a "sustainable profit" on Chessable and the merge left "no other realistic chess competitor" except the free, open-source Lichess.[17][18]"

Funny how when you click the link to the Play Magnus Group, it takes you to this guy:

[Image Description: the header of the Wikipedia article for Magnus Carlsen, that says "Sven Magnus Øen Carlsen[a] (born 30 November 1990)[1][2] is a Norwegian chess grandmaster who is the reigning five-time World Chess Champion. He is also a three-time World Rapid Chess Champion and five-time World Blitz Chess Champion. He has held the No. 1 position in the FIDE world chess rankings since 1 July 2011 and trails only Garry Kasparov in time spent as the highest-rated player in the world. His peak rating of 2882 is the highest in history. He also holds the record for the longest unbeaten streak at the elite level in classical chess.[3]"

Who is accusing nineteen year old Hans Moke Niemann of cheating, leading to the "vibrating anal beads" conspiracy.

What's also interesting is that Carlsen and others are using Chess.com's investigation as proof of Niemann's cheating

[Image Description: a headline from Chess.com that says "Chess.com: 'Niemann Has Likely Cheated In More Than 100 Online Chess Games'" by PeterDoggers. The first paragraph says "In a 72-page report made public on Tuesday, Chess.com states that GM Hans Niemann "has likely cheated in more than 100 online chess games, including several prize money events." Chess.com also notes that Niemann is "the fastest rising top player in classical OTB chess in modern history" but hasn't found clear evidence that Niemann cheated over the board." End I.D.]

Check this out: Chess grandmaster caught cheating in the toilet

A chess grandmaster has been thrown out of an international tournament after he made repeated trips to the toilet to allegedly check tactics on a mobile phone he had hidden inside a cubicle. Gaioz Nigalidze, the current Georgian champion, was expelled from the Dubai Open for using his smartphone in a match against Armenian grandmaster Tigran L Petrosian. He faces a ban of up to 15 years. Two-time national champion Nigalidze was exposed when Petrosian grew suspicious about his frequent trips to the lavatory during Saturday's sixth-round match.

Officials opened the smartphone and found it was logged into a social networking site under Nigalidze's account. They also found his game being analysed in one of the chess applications.

The Dubai Chess and Culture Club

Tournament officials found Nigalidze had hidden a mobile phone in a cubicle, covered in toilet paper. The Dubai Chess and Culture Club announced its decision to expel Nigalidze on Sunday morning. It issued a statement on its Facebook page, along with a picture of Nigalidze's phone and an official game sheet of moves. "When confronted, Nigalidze denied he owned the device," it said. Petrosian told the Daily Telegraph: "Nigalidze would promptly reply to my moves and then literally run to the toilet. I noticed that he would always visit the same toilet partition, which was strange, since two other partitions weren't occupied."

Not everything is true in what Petrosian said.
