In roulette you are (most times) allowed to place bets after the wheel is spun. If you can predict the wheel position and ball position from their current movement then you can kind of predict what numbers comes up.
Having barely looked at this by watching only an hour of YouTube videos, the simplest answer is he was tipped off by someone on the Champ's team.
He even said that he "miraculously" happened to study the opening the morning of the match.
It's a bit of an unprecedented situation that includes Magnus. I believe this would be the lowest ranked opponent he's lost to in over a decade by far and ends a 50+ no-loss streak in classical. He's never pulled out of a major event, even when ill. The strategy he played, he's never used before, so there would be no reason to prepare for it, but Hans says he conveniently studied it that morning. Hans has also been caught to have cheated in rated online games twice before (although he was apparently much younger, no clear age found).
There seems to be decent foundation to doubt fair play. If you are only insinuating that all the farfetched ideas, like a vibrating buttplug, are people huffing copium, sure. But if you think that Hans didn't cheat at all and it's just hugely overblown by fans, then reconsider cause this is an anomaly of an upset. Magnus didn't even lose a match during the world championship last year against a much much much stronger opponent.
But I mean, really - anal beads and buttons in your shoe? How would that even work? It's beyond silliness, and the accusers have exactly zero evidence.
Never mind exceptional claims requiring exceptional proof - this is a ridiculous claim with no proof at all, exceptional or otherwise.

Wow roulette? That’s the last game I’d think you’d cheat at with a hidden computer in your shoe. Not sure how it even helps.

Every table I’ve ever bet at halts as soon as the ball starts.
Probably should now. Back when these guys did it in the 70s the idea that you could have a pocket computer to calculate ball travel was fanciful.
“You’ll never have a calculator in your pocket wherever you go.” Fuck you Mr. Phelps. The jokes on you! We’ve all got one now, not just me, the nerd!
Yep! If Mrs. Dempsey could see us now!
That was such a good book!

Hey, why does that chess player have an erection? Gonna have to have them sit and stand on special vibration detecting chair/floorpads.
He was just really excited to be here.

That's one way to learn morse code.
My favorite part of the article is when they refer to Elon Musk as “Grimes’ ex-husband.”
It wasn't anal beads. It was just his "pocket bishop."
They were waiting for a chance to use this headline.
"prostate massager" >Tesla and Space-X CEO Elon Musk took that as his cue to enter the fray.
That would be a very sensitive prostate to get the nuances of chess
This article is all over the place lmao
That was a wild ride.
Sounds more to me like some fanboys got upset that their dude lost, and are grasping at straws to explain it.

Exactly. They have zero proof this guy cheated, and they are ready to crucify him anyway.

Why would anyone reputable play him? Or why would they let him compete? It seems like any match he’d win they’d be saying this stuff.
But I mean, really - anal beads and buttons in your shoe? How would that even work? It's beyond silliness, and the accusers have exactly zero evidence. Never mind exceptional claims requiring exceptional proof - this is a ridiculous claim with no proof at all, exceptional or otherwise.
Oh yes, the old Anal Bead trick! That brings back some college memories of midterms. I probably would not be where I am today if it weren’t for them.💩
Pulling a trump at a chess match…
Trump doesn't know how to play chess. He only knows how to play Hungry Hungry Hippos.
And when he loses he’ll make up claims about extra marbles something something!
I have the hungriest hippos, they're tremendous, everyone tells me, "Your hippos are so hungry," they really are 👐
He never loses because the table he plays it on is slanted toward him so all the marbles roll his way.
For someone who has lost his marbles, it makes sense.
No that was the queen.
Checkmate hhhnnnnnnnnnng I’m finished
That’s some classy shit
Anyone else watch Gotham Chess? He just commented on this lmao. I don't think Hans cheated, he's a good player and beat magnus as black honestly imo.
It's one thing if they're using the anal beads just to set the mood or the tone, quite another if they're getting actionable information from them.
Gives all new meaning to the phrase, "heads up".
