Me “What’s the difference between a bathtub and a toilet?”
Yan Chenglong “Idk. What?”
Me “Please leave my house”
Unfair. Moral character has nothing to do with raw talent and skill - if shitting in a bathtub so hard you damage hotel property isn’t explicitly banned in the rule book, and the people running the contest haven’t found a method to effectively drug test their athletes for anal bead usage, then I think he should get to keep his title.
After all, there’s no rule saying dogs can’t play basketball
More to the point: one thing hs nothing to do with the other
The guy is an asshole, but that has nothing to do with chess
There may be a morals clause in whatever contract they signed. (IDK about Chinese law on the subject, though)
Nah. I am all for stripping people of their titles for acting like shitbags. We need this more in society.
What does it have to do with playing chess?
It doesn’t have anything to do with chess. However, whatever organization is handing out these champion titles has the right to award and remove the titles as they choose. If they don’t want a bathtub-shitter as their champion spokesman, they are within their right to remove the title.
I bet that digging into the bylaws of many sports/competitions would reveal codes of conduct that participants must follow.
The goal is ultimately to find out who the best chess player is, and bathtub shitting has no relevance to that.
Yan allegedly clenched and unclenched rhythmically to communicate information about the chess board via code to a computer, which then sent back instructions on what moves to make in the form of vibrations
Wow.
Yan had cheated during the competition by using anal beads equipped with wireless transmitters to send and receive signals.
Adding the context to your quote…
according to reports circulating on the Chinese social site Weibo.
More context.
Also I can’t find an actual source for the story.

That gets a little more granular. The social media reports of “anal play” could not be confirmed by CXA either. They did confirm the dump he took in a tub though.
My guess is /r/AnarchyChess
I miss that place
No you don’t. There are (at least ) two similar communities on Lemmy. You just didn’t join them because you know damn well that anal beads are way too overpowered in chess currently.
Yeah sorry lol, I was literally flabbergasted.
If I had a nickle for everytime there was a chess scandal and some media site reported that someone (allegedly) cheated with bluetooth anal beads, I could buy some bluetooth anal beads and win a chess tournament
Several Youtubers have built a working prototype and used it to beat chess masters. And for who knows what else off screen, I guess.
He should get a title for this alone, it’s honestly more impressive than chess.

I could have sworn I read a similar story a while back. Is this a common thing?
A good while ago, Chess player Hans Neimann was accused of cheating after decisively winning a game against the world champion, Magnus Carlsen. Afterwards, he couldn’t reasonably explain his moves, which added to the cheating suspicion.
The chess meme community ran away with it, and the story blew up just after, so the story became Hans Neimann used anal beads to cheat in a game.
Chess scandal: Hans Niemann denies using vibrating beads to cheat - NPR
Could’ve been that?
There was never any evidence of this. The best explanation I heard is that Magnus’ company was merging with chess.com right before a tournament, and with that the information of cheating bans were made available to him. He found out that Hans had been banned for cheating a couple years prior on chess.com. Speculation is that this put Magnus on tilt during his match with Hans, and losing just confirmed Magnus’ suspicion that Hans is a cheater IRL as well as online.
Ngl, I kind of want to party with Yan Chenglong now
Not if it’s at your house, you don’t!
It’s fine, just put cat litter in the bath tub.
Waffle stomp it baby
Yan consumed alcohol with others in his room on the night of the 17th, and then he defecated in the bathtub of the room he was staying in on the 18th
So wait…this wasn’t a party and booze incident? Bro pooped the canoe, in privacy, the next day. I wonder if it was premeditated.
I’m so going to drop a fat Chernobyl mutation of a shit in that sassy tub tomorrow
- Yan (hopefully)
I think when you’re Chinese chess champion of the universe you can shit in any bathtub you like.
It would seem not…
I don’t care how good you are at chess. No one is shitting in mine…not even me.
Dude pulled a pewdiepie
Bro forgot he’s in China and they have social credit for a moment lol.
