The chess world has been rocked since last month by a major scandal. Magnus Carlson, the world champion, accuses the young Hans Niemann of cheating, polarizing in passing a universe usually recognized for its seriousness and decorum. Since then, a report from the Chess.com platform has given weight to the accusations, which have raised a variety of theories about the workings of cheating in chess (the most outlandish of which we will keep quiet). By the way, how do you cheat in chess? To better understand it all, we are interested in the evolution of mathematics and artificial intelligence… the one used by cheaters and the one that helps the authorities to unmask them.
Guest : Simon Lacoste-Julien, Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Operations Research at the University of Montreal.
With the participation of Pierre Dénommée, international referee and member of the Board of the Quebec Chess Federation.
