Origin[]
Umakant Sharma is an Indian chess player who in 2006 was banned from playing competitive chess for ten years due to cheating. He was caught receiving instructions from an accomplice, using a chess computer via a Bluetooth-enabled device that had been sewn into his cap. The accomplices he had been communicating with were outside the location at which he was playing, and were relaying moves for him to make from a computer simulation. Officials became suspicious after Umakant gained large amounts of rating points in the previous eighteen months, even qualifying for the national championship.
Effects[]
It places competitive strategy ideas directly into the user’s mind, allowing them to win many challenges or matches with ease. However, their quickly rising skill will quickly be challenged by authoritative bodies., sometimes resulting in severe punishment.
