From Thursdays USATODAY PAPER...


It's Checkmate for a chess player from India..

Umakant Sharma has been banned for I0 years for cheating after he was
caught using his mobile phone wireless device to win chess games ...
Sharma had racked up ratings points at a rapid pace in the last I8
months and also qualified for the national championships arousing the
suspicion of officials and rivals..
Sharma was finally caught at a recent tournament when officials
discovered he had stitched a Bluetooth device into a cloth cap that he
always pulled over his ears .. He would communicate with an accomplice
outside the hall , who then used a computer to relay moves to him Indian
chess federation secretary D.V. Sunder said Wednesday....
We banned him for I0 years because we wanted to send a clear message to
such people..

any one know what a Bluetooth is ??

Is this the man in the hat everyone was talking about ?

It is like he became a GM over night....
This guy just wanted to make a mockery out of a good game ...he is
probably sitting back and laughing about it......

Clever enough to play chess well, too dumb to cheat.

By the time this nimrod has served his ten year ban, he'll be back in action
with a fritz 22 (cranial version) implanted in his brain.
