Cutting Room Floor: Everyone's Cheating at Chess (Allegedly)
Here it is! This is the stuff that ended up on the cutting room floor for the chess cheating video. 30 minutes of stuff that didn't make the final cut, including why India suddenly has 85 grandmasters, what actually happened with Anna Rudolf in 2007, the phone-in-toilet cases I didn't have room for, FIDE's ongoing institutional meltdowns, and some thoughts on how I decide what's fair game when covering real people. Hope you enjoy!
