On the need for anti-cheating measures in Chess, USA’s Levon Aronian at the Chennai Grand Masters Chess Championship said: “Has to happen. It’s inevitable. It is there in every sport, and we are not better or worse than any other sport.”
Asked if he’s gotten suspicious of cheating at all, he said: “It happens a lot. Sometimes, it’s paranoia, sometimes you feel that there is something not right. But we don’t know. We cannot go around thinking that our opponents are not fair. But at the same time, if the measures are not taken, it’s too much pressure for the players.”
“Anti-cheating measures are quite important. We have to recognise the fact that a person can take external help. And therefore, it must be prevented,” Pentala Harikrishna said.
