Digital Cheating - Top Chess Player Banned for Using Bluetooth To Cheat
Top Chess Player Banned for Using Bluetooth To Cheat

The second ranked chess player in the All India Chess Federation was banned for cheating with a bluetooth phone that he had sewn into his hat.  As technology becomes more compact and wireless, I suppose we can expect more forms of digital cheating.

An Indian chess player was banned Tuesday from competition for 10 years after he was caught using a Bluetooth headset sewn into a cap earlier this month to get help from a computer. The All India Chess Federation slapped the 10-year sanction on Umakant Sharma, who had been using a Bluetooth device stitched into a cap he typically pulled down over his ears. According to the federation, Sharma's accomplices relayed moves made by a computer chess program to him via the Bluetooth headset. Bharat Singh Chauhan, the AICF treasurer, showed the cap and Bluetooth device at a meeting convened Tuesday that decided Sharma's punishment. (informationweek)
