The competitive chess world is at odds over a cheating scandal involving sex toys.
00:05
So what exactly is going on?
00:07
Brute can explain in less than 60 seconds.
00:09
It all started when world champion Magnus Carlsen mysteriously withdrew from the Sinkfield Cup
00:15
after losing to wildcard player Hans Niemann.
00:18
Fans and even some other prominent chess players quickly claimed
00:22
that the 19-year-old Niemann had won by stealing Carlsen's game plan.
00:26
Others even took it a step further spewing conspiracy theories claiming that Niemann
00:32
was using a vibrating prostate massager that signaled which moves he should make,
00:37
which prompted a shout out from Tesla CEO Elon Musk because he literally cannot help himself.
00:42
Niemann, who plays seventh, admitted to having a history of cheating in online chess,
00:47
but has denied these allegations and said that he would even play naked to prove it.
00:52
You know, my dream came true.
00:53
I lived my dream for a day beating Magnus and then all of this happened.
