    a few tasty snippets:

    NEW DELHI (Reuters) - An Indian chess player has been banned for 10
    years for cheating after he was caught using his mobile phone's
    wireless device to win games, chess officials said on Wednesday.
    ....
    Sharma was finally caught at a recent tournament when officials
    discovered that he had stitched a Bluetooth device in a cloth cap which
    he always pulled over his ears.
    ....
    "We have banned him for 10 years," he told Reuters. "We wanted to send
    a clear message to such people."

    Believe it or not, there have been several recent cheating scandals in
    chess. The MO here seems like that of the others.

    The availability of commercial chess programs that, running on modern
    PCs, are better than most amateur chess players has made the temptation
    pretty great.

    I see a market for a chess computer implant:

    Perhaps Bruyneel could even implant a few controller implants into the
    Discovery riders so as to be able to control them from his laptop.
