Camera work & thumbnail: @HandcraftedwithKim (Kim Boyd)Does my chess cheat device get past the metal detector?Mike Boyd2022-11-21 | Original video: youtu.be/5uDM3fPeNFM
Can my chess cheating device get past the metal detector wand commonly used at chess tournaments to screen for cheat devices? In this video I also test out a faraday cage to see if it is a viable solution for preventing radio signals reaching my device. This device was made in response to the chess cheating scandal involving Hans Niemann and Magnus Carlsen, originating at the Sinquefield Cup 2022.

Amidst the cheating controversy that, at the time of publishing, is still unfolding in the chess world between Hans Niemann, Magnus Carlsen and chess.com, I thought I'd try and see if "that" cheat device is actually possible. How easy is it to make? Can it actually be used to defeat high level players? Can I, a programming and electronics n00b make one? Let's find out.
