    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...

    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.
