Or just delay the live stream instead? There’s a whole lot of hyperbole in your comments. He definitely cheated in online play as chess.com and Hans himself has said. Don’t think there’s been any proof of OTB cheating so far and his OTB play seems to be pretty realistic at this point.
- okamiueru 4y agoI don't understand the comments regarding delayed live stream. Splitting video feed, visually analysing a board from it, and feeding it feeding into an engine, are all rather straight forward things to do. And delayed feed for conspirators seems redundant.
- maxbond 4y agoIf the stream is delayed such that the previous move is being broadcast as the current move is played, than a cheater would need to communicate with their collaborators in duplex. A transmitter is a lot easier to detect than a receiver. The other alternative would be carrying the entire cheating apparatus on your person, which also presents a larger "cross section", if you will.
- okamiueru 4y agoMy argument was that you don't need a collaborator for online cheating. It is simple enough to automate everything from just the video feed, and would be undetectable by any software running on the machine. Use a hdmi splitter. Do image processing on one feed to register moves as they are played (regardless of delay), pass those moves into an engine, and show the output on a hidden display, vibrations to a butt plug, what have you. For OTB cheating, it becomes more complicated, but I'm sure a computer can be made small enough, and register inputs in any number of ways, while the output can be encoded vibrations.
- maxbond 4y agoOh I'm sure you could make such a device, but it's more to make it through security with.
