      It's the only really plausible theory that doesn't conflict with things like broadcast delays and other anti-cheating measures, but its also debatable as to what degree of cheating it is.

      Though it would probably still be against the rules cause theres a blanket rule you can't take actions that bring the game of chess into disrepute, which exploiting other players leaked personal preparations would definitely fall under.

          We need a Chess 2, I vote for Boxing Chess. Lets see how well you can memorize movesets when you also have to hit the gym and avoid getting hit in the face.

      i dont understand how that would even not be a case of being outplayed. "oh no, my opponent is countering my moves!" doesn't change strategies or modify my plan in any way

      and all these dudes memorise move-sets its absurd for that to only count when your opponent uses the one youve studied
