Apologies as I don’t remember the details and am not a chess aficionado but what happened with the dude with the anal beads who Magnus said was cheating?
I’m not sure of that’s taboo to talk about here or not but I never heard a conclusion and I don’t remember the guy’s name to look it up.

Thank you!
Just a correction: no one in the world chess really believed the anal beads part AFAIK. It would be trivial for Hans to cheat without compromise his butthole.
I knew it wasn’t serious but it was a concise way to specify which person I was thinking of.
Poor Hans became the butthole guy :P
