Yang Chenlong, 48, defeated dozens of opponents in a game of chess last week to win the national title “King of Xiangqi.” However, the celebration was short-lived: The Chinese Xiangqi Association revoked the title and confiscated the prize from the man on charges of fraud and “disturbing public order” by defecating in a hotel bathtub, according to a spokesman The keeper.
The association had to respond to fraudulent rumors circulating that Yang was using rings equipped with wireless transmitters to send and receive signals.
Yang reportedly knocked and opened his hands several times to transmit information about the chessboard through code to the computer, which then sent instructions through vibrations about the moves to be made.
“Based on our understanding of the situation, it is currently impossible to prove that Yang cheated with the help of ‘rings’, as is being speculated on social networks,” the association said. However, he was stripped of his title and banned from playing for a year.
According to the association, the man “drank alcohol with others in his room on the night of the 17th and then defecated in the bathtub of the room where he was staying on the 18th, committing an act that caused damage to hotel property and was a breach of the peace.” Order and good customs had a negative impact on the Xiangqi competition and event,” added those in charge of the Chinese Xiangqi Association, the association said.
