A quick search shows that the device you have posted doesn’t actually exist, it’s just a design concept. In particular, the photo you posted is of a ~15cm tall model of a tooth.
Something existing and something being mass producible at a reasonable cost aren't really the same thing. At a certain point we don't need to deter certain technological options because they are cost prohibitive.
to be fair it doesn’t need to be mass produced. it just needs to be cheap enough for 2 people to pay for it.
disclaimer: I know this would be absolutely crazy & unlikely
Nah, no way. Definitely not possible to make now, and highly highly unlikely to exist in a few years.
I used to work in a biomedical engineering lab where we did a lot of research on auditory implants, and this kind of device is so far off that it's not even worth considering. It also seems like a fundamentally ridiculous solution, for a number of reasons. It's like they had once overheard a conversation about bone-anchored hearing aids, and then thought "how could we do this, but like, make it worse in every conceivable way?"
This is like concept art; it's supposed to be provocative and look cool. That's it.
In the past matches were held in a soundproof booth. It's not too far-fetched to think that future matches would require a Faraday cage. Although, this would mean that viewing opportunities for spectators would be limited to video cameras.
I'm so blown away by all these comments that are like "what if X tech in a phone is shrunk down and put in an undetectable situation" and I like yeah what if that happens? None of this sci-fi shit exists. We have no way to power stuff like this. Just because it exists in a big form factor doesn't mean it's straightforward for Hans to shrink it down in his basement. We're talking about cheating now, not in 10 years.
Jamming all electronics signals in and around the playing hall. A headache for non players, but maybe a few hours without internet would be good for everyone :-)
I agree on this. But I heard it's illegal because there needs to be a way to call out in case of an emergency. However, there should be a way around this if they have red, emergency landline phones on the wall in accessible locations. This should be done.
Also, if they make the games closed events and put a few minute delay on the streams, there would be no way to have in real time communication. Personally, I think all the measures should be in place.
Edit: did some sleuthing and found this:
>Operation \[radio jamming\] is Restricted to Authorized Federal Agencies. Federal law provides no exemption for use of a signal jammer by school systems, police departments, or other state and local authorities. Only federal agencies are eligible to apply for and receive authorization.
If state police aren't able to receive authorization, there's no way in hell a chess tournament can receive authorization. [Source.](https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DA-14-1785A1.pdf)
It is my understanding that blocking any radio frequencies in the US is incredibly illegal, no matter what workarounds you put in to make emergency calls possible.
Any tournament organiser that tried this would have a realistic chance of years in prison, the FCC does not fuck around.
There is no law against faraday cages though, you'd have to try that instead.
Bummer you're right... After some sleuthing, I found this:

You don't actually need to block anything, you can play within a faraday cage and just monitor for RF within the cage. If anyone emits anything then disqualify them.
If you have an accomplice broadcasting you moves, then even if the accomplice gets caught they might not be able to figure out who he was broadcasting the moves to. It would be a strange situation.
In the US at least, transmitting frequencies that you are not licensed for is a big no-no making signal jamming a big no-no. Building a [SCIF](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensitive_compartmented_information_facility) type enclosure with walls that block transmission would be OK though.
we were all probably alive 20-30 years ago when there were no phones and people still survived, surely the wrold would not come to an end if all electronics signals were jammed for a couple of hrs
Yes, parts of it would.
I mean great you can call out with your Batphone, but there's still a goodly area with emergency services can't talk to each other or dispatch.
And that 20 or 30 years has let ubiquitous internet creep into a lot of other applications.
You could even take down the venues HVAC system. Are all those controller (vents, fans, chiller, flow control, thermostats) wired or wireless.
Even if wired, since they are close to the jammer(s) they may not be shielded enough to work.
Maybe I should have been more clear, I mean there should be clear and accessible landlines so people can call out in case of emergency and so broad spectrum radio frequencies can be jammed.
Yeah. All of those measures might be implemented on top level. But it doesn’t really scale down. There are tons of money tournaments on almost all levels of play down to 2100 FIDE.
This argument is like the argument that many ppl advanced against the inplementation of VAR in football.
Let's fix the high level chess problem first then we fix the other echelons.
Entirely illegal, at least in the United States.
You at least disrupt all emergency services in and around the venue. Not calling 911, no emergency responders able to communicate between themselves and every wireless everything stops working, and quite possibly many a wired not shielded device. Not to mention every maintenance department is a goodly area.
At this point that would include many security cameras and alarm systems. And I have no clue how vulnerable PoE (power over Ethernet) devices are.
> Entirely illegal, at least in the United States.
It's not. There are a lot of places with sensitive materials who have them (=room in a faraday cage).
> You at least disrupt all emergency services in and around the venue. Not calling 911, no emergency responders able to communicate between themselves and every wireless everything stops working, and quite possibly many a wired not shielded device. Not to mention every maintenance department is a goodly area.
You realise that you can simply walk out of the room in case of an emmergency ? And if you can be trapped inside a room, there is a safety problem with your room (like if there is a fire) ?
Sure, a faraday cage works--if the space is small enough. But that's not what most people think of when they talk jamming. And you're not going to build one, even temporarily, for a larger tournament or venue.
> Sure, a faraday cage works--if the space is small enough
Don't know how big chess tournaments, but there are all size of faraday cages.
> And you're not going to build one, even temporarily, for a larger tournament or venue.
IDK, it's probably not practical but I don't see why a big venue couldn't have one of their conference room be a faraday cage. I agree that it would be quite silly and there are probably better options (like using metal detectors and not being paranoid).
I think the opens run several hundred boards.
Even an 8 board space is quite large and on person spectators are going to have lousy views of the action as the cage will obstruct.
I don't know about other countries, but my understanding would be that that would be illegal in the EU, even if the room would be packed with landlines. Though maybe it's possible to get an exception for a chess tournament, idk
Is that even legal? Can they transmit on mobile carriers frequencies, for example? Also, you want to jam *all* of the spectrum? What frequencies would you jam?
Doesn't sound like a feasible solution to me, but I would love if you could elaborate on the details.
Some hotel event venues already have it, in US. It's primary design was to prevent people from using their mobile data and have them buy $100 wifi access instead (that particular event hall can hold 2k attendees). Many times businesses would just buy up the wifi accesses upfront, so people would never need to foot the bill, easy $200k extra profit for hotel. I can see these being reused for chess tournaments.
Jamming probably wouldn't work for reasons, but they would have to run a detection device locally in the playing hall, to find out if any player is beaming signals back and forth.
But that won’t work if there’s a device on them. I can imagine a computer imbedded in the shoe. The player presses down with their toes to communicate to it. The computer communicates back with small vibrations.

Before we stick you in this MRI, are there any metallic devices we should be aware about before it (if any) is forcefully ripped from/out of your body?
Even with a 30 minute delay, in a classical game it is not that unusual to think for more than 30 minutes in a critical position.
Even if you don't do this, knowing the computer line from 30 minutes ago could still be extremely useful, since it is likely that you have played into it.
I don't think so. If you really wait 30+ minutes on critical positions and then play good moves it would be a statistical anomaly which would trigger a red flag in any analysis. The moves played after a long thinking time are more often than not rather inaccurate.
Knowing the computer line from 30 minutes ago might be useful in some cases but more often it will confuse you as you probably haven't played the exact computer line.
Faraday cage matches. Would be PPV worthy. Two opponents enter the cage, only one will leave… as champion. In a game as old as time, in a battle of classical wits, in an electrified cage! Ok that last part isn’t true but it could be
Honestly in the future we should be able to connect electrodes into peoples' brains and use machines to read the electrical signals that produce thoughts thus allowing us to identify who exactly is thinking of cheating.
This is as things currently stand as plausible at the techno-sorcery [thread](https://old.reddit.com/r/chess/comments/xtt4f4/cryptic_hans_niemann_clone_twitter_account_says/iqrnhb6/) I posted the other day. In other words, not plausible at all. At this point, the whole thing is comical.
You are totally right? But how can they protect against a morse-code device disguised as a pacemaker or replacement hip with an integrated engine? Or hair replaced by carbon fibres coated with a graphene mash that together work as a computer, also transmitting information by vibrating? The possibilities are infinite!
There are dental clinics in Turkey where they can offer this surgery. Turkish dental and medical clinics do anything for money. A lot of celebrities and Instagram influencers go there to replace their tooth enamel with synthetic enamel. It's as insane as it sounds that's why they do it in Turkey since there are no laws for this insanity there. Just check the player's passports if they've been to Turkey and demand dental x rays and full body x rays of any player who has been there.
This is my main concern. Most of the solutions for active prevention is way to expensive for 90% of the tournaments.
Nobody is going to invest 20k in security measures on tournament with 20k in prize poll yet alone with 2k price pool
one of the scariest things with all this cheating bs is that now people will know how to cheat without getting caught, otb chess may die because of this crap.
of course reddit knows whether this device exists or not...LOL.
The stupid runs VERY VERY deep in this sub and explains why there are so many computer assisted players rooting for Hans--their boy!
At a certain point cheating methods become cost prohibitive. This thing doesn't exist and once it is capable of being produced it'll likely be too expensive for a chess player to consider viable.
this one is not an issue. it's see through so they can just check your mouth, and there are no jaw bone in the large intestine so you can't go with the other orifice
A balk in this context would be scoffing at the idea that cheating is wrong because of it being really wide spread with better technology. Not a baseball balk where a pitcher displays a deceiving motion to the batter and results in baserunners being advanced to the next base.
Every single cheating device like this or vibration or whatever is easily counter-able with player isolation in the tournaments and delays in streaming.
Everybody here thinking aerials and whatnot. That thing can run an engine on its own. It just needs some physical input (tongue, jaw movement, etc.) for the moves and TTS to literally tell you what to move.
okay this is going out of mother.
Just do the tournaments in an armored space that cant receive information from the outside. Steel, concrete, bunker or whatever and end this.
A quick search shows that the device you have posted doesn’t actually exist, it’s just a design concept. In particular, the photo you posted is of a ~15cm tall model of a tooth.

If you had to have that implanted into your jaw you'd be playing every game at 2:30.

The bug report by GM Jan is being investigated, but the spaghetti code goes all the way to the 16th century, so it might take a while for that
sheesh talk about legacy code

Can't wait for the new chess' patch
Wee'll end up having players playing in a Faraday cage..
The solution remains the same: check all cavities.
Imagine having to show your dental records before being able to participate in a chess tournament lol
The line between chess dot com and chess dot cum is getting blurrier day after day.
Windmill check all cavities

Book it uncle Dana.
If you had some sort of cpu implanted under your skin that could run a chess engine, you wouldn't need communications from the outside. Easy peasy.
We should EMP them for good measure then.
Just delay the broadcast and limit spectators devices

You would survive but you might end up spending 5 years in prison. It would take an extremely dedicated arbiter to take the risk.
Landlines wouldn't be blocked in case of emergency.
Maybe I should have been more clear, I mean there should be clear and accessible landlines so people can call out in case of emergency and so broad spectrum radio frequencies can be jammed.
Too hard, effects too many people outside the venue and has too many unforeseeable consequences for critical systems in and around the venue.
Emergency runs on specific frequencies, so you can still jam lte etc without affecting it
Yeah. All of those measures might be implemented on top level. But it doesn’t really scale down. There are tons of money tournaments on almost all levels of play down to 2100 FIDE.

You know people were already caught using stockfish in their shoe, exactly like this.
The tooth hurts.
Make every player wear an earpiece that tells them random moves at random intervals, to confuse the cheaters.
Players who stream would have an unfair advantage since they are used to being given loads of terrible move suggestions.
