Check, mate.
Chess grandmaster Hans Niemann was seen having his rear end inspected as he arrived to compete at the US Chess Championships in St. Louis on Tuesday.
An official at the event repeatedly waved a metal detector over the 19-year-old’s butt following wild claims that the prodigy recently cheated with wireless vibrating anal beads that he inserted into his rectum.
The theory created buzz online last month after the whizkid caused a major upset by defeating Norwegian grandmaster Magnus Carlsen, 31, at the Sinquefield Cup on Sept. 4.
According to the Riverfront Times, some pundits proclaimed that Nielsen was tapping into a remote computer via the vibrating sex toy — though the logistics of how that would work were unclear.
Despite no evidence of foul play, Niemann quickly became the butt of jokes — including one made by Elon Musk.
