The Toilet Chess Cheat
The 1: intellectual/smart/slow game of chess has been shocked by reports of
cheating by one of its top players. Georgian Grandmaster Giaoz Nigalidze
was 2: welcomed/expelled/ejected from the Dubai Open Chess Tournament
after he was accused of cheating by his opponent in a 6th Round match.
Armenian Grandmaster Tigran Petrosian was suspicious when Mr Nigalidze
kept going to the 3: bath/urinal/toilet before he moved his chess pieces. After
complaining to tournament officials it was discovered that Mr Nigalidze had
hidden a smartphone in a toilet cubicle by wrapping it in 4: toilet/tissue/bog
paper and placing it under the toilet basin.
Mr Petrosian said he didn’t like how Mr Nigalidze would move a chess piece
and then 5: slowly/abjectly/quickly run to the toilet. He said, “Nigalidze would
reply to my moves and then run to the toilet. I noticed that he also always went to the
same toilet”. Mr Petrosian told officials at the Dubai Chess Tournament of his
concern and they started to 6: watch/look/follow Mr Nigalidze very carefully.
After Mr Nigalidze had gone to the toilet again, one tournament official
followed him into the toilet and discovered that Mr Nigalidze was using a
chess strategy app on his smartphone. The smartphone app helped Mr
Nigalidze plan which chess pieces he should move to help him
7: defeat/victory/win the game.
Sadly this is not the first time a Grandmaster has been accused of cheating in
chess. In 2008 an Iranian player cheated by using a friend to text him
8: useful/helpful/winning moves. Whilst in 2010 the French Federation
suspended three players, including France’s captain, after they used a chess
computer to help them try and win the 2010 Chess Olympiad.
When he was asked by journalists about whether he had cheated by using a
smartphone app in a toilet, Mr Nigalidze replied, “Not everything is true about
what Petrosian said.” If he is found guilty by the 9: Global/World/Universal
Chess Federation then Mr Nigalidze will be banned for 15
10: years/monthly/weeks.

The Toilet Chess Cheat
1
The intellectual game of chess has been shocked by reports of cheating by one of its top players.
Georgian Grandmaster Giaoz Nigalidze was expelled from the Dubai Open Chess Tournament
after he was accused of cheating by his opponent in a 6th Round match.
2
Armenian Grandmaster Tigran Petrosian was suspicious when Mr Nigalidze kept going to the
toilet before he moved his chess pieces. After complaining to tournament officials it was
discovered that Mr Nigalidze had hidden a smartphone in a toilet cubicle by wrapping it in
toilet paper and placing it under the toilet basin.
3
Mr Petrosian said he didn’t like how Mr Nigalidze would move a chess piece and then quickly
run to the toilet. He said, “Nigalidze would reply to my moves and then run to the toilet. I noticed that
he also always went to the same toilet”. Mr Petrosian told officials at the Dubai Chess Tournament
of his concern and they started to watch Mr Nigalidze very carefully.
4
After Mr Nigalidz had gone to the toilet again, one tournament official followed him into the
toilet and discovered that Mr Nigalidze was using a chess strategy app on his smartphone. The
smartphone app helped Mr Nigalidze plan which chess pieces he should move to help him win
the game.
5
Sadly this is not the first time a Grandmaster has been accused of cheating in chess. In 2008 an
Iranian player cheated by using a friend to text him helpful moves. Whilst in 2010 the French
Federation suspended three players, including France’s captain, after they used a chess
computer to help them try and win the 2010 Chess Olympiad.
6
When he was asked by journalists about whether he had cheated by using a smartphone app in
a toilet, Mr Nigalidze replied, “Not everything is true about what Petrosian said.” If he is found
guilty by the World Chess Federation then Mr Nigalidze will be banned for 15 years.
