  • Yet another phone in the toilet...

    Before you rush out to get some rice to put in a ziploc bag to rescue a mobile phone that went swimming...

    Another CHEATING SCANDAL this time involving a very high rated GM:

    From what I have read about this incident, it seems V. Kramnik (the intrepid anti-cheating champion) has warned about Kirill Shevchenko in the recent past.
    It seems Kramnik's warnings might have merit (note that I have been somewhat skeptical of some of Kramnik's rantings and have grown weary of much of it...perhaps that
    is not justified in view of this recent series of events)

    In any case, this seems like a fairly clear case in many ways and it will be interesting to find out what sanctions FIDE will impose...

    Susan Polgar correctly points out that the Romanian chess federation calls for getting all the facts before making judgements:
