FIDE Arbiters´Magazine – February 2016
… connected to hidden loop around neck
&
micro-speaker hidden in left ear
… and connected the other way to TWO phones, each one strapped with tape to a lower leg!
How they did it
The accomplice (offsite 220km away) would state a move (Kakar’s opponent’s probable last move)
via Kakar’s earphone, and Kakar would tap with his foot once if he was wrong, and twice for affirmative. The accomplice would then feed that move into his computer, which would calculate Kakar’s
next move, which would be relayed verbally to Kakar, who received it via his earphone.
The Arbiters must always be aware for potential cheating by the players!
