Apr-15-15  morfishine: His career is in the toilet
Apr-15-15  whiteshark: <WannaBe <Did he have an iWatch, too???>>

Sure, who doesn't these days? http://de.chessbase.com/portals/3/f...

and here's another epochal cheater revealed: http://de.chessbase.com/portals/3/f... ;)

Apr-15-15  morfishine: Nigalidze comment: "No cheat, I flush analysis"
Apr-15-15  Sho: Nigalized (verb): To be banned from chess for cheating; to be Plutoed.
Apr-15-15  ponaldpuck: Nigelized (verb): To be judged by Nigel Short for alleged cheating at chess; to be Shorted.
Apr-16-15  MagnusVerMagnus: Nigeled : to be accepting of getting it in the rear with a glass of wine in hand and ....loving it.
Apr-16-15  ajile: cg.com should amend this page.

International Master (2009); Grandmaster (2014). Georgian Champion (2013) Proven Cheater (2015)

Apr-16-15  dumbgai: Either all cheaters use hilariously stupid methods, or there are more clever cheaters out there that haven't been caught yet?
May-01-15  whiteshark: Here's another cheater exposed: http://en.chessbase.com/post/yet-an...

Kinda construction manual with photos ;)

May-01-15  sfm: What a disgrace.

Out for 15 years would be fine with me.
When prize money is involved it is clearly a matter for the police too.

His is nothing.
What a disgrace.

  WannaBe: <whiteshark> I'd use the latest android, much bigger battery and don't have to worry about carrying spare parts. =))
May-03-15  Volmac: Cheating is becoming a really serious issue for me. Playing internet chess is increasingly less fun since I sometimes get crushed in games played with Stockfish's first recommendation moves. Playing with a free or guest account is absolutely risk-free. It's far too easy to cheat in internet chess. The problem is that I can see this behaviour spread to serious OTB-tournaments in the near future.
May-22-15  mrandersson: Volmac is right i have stopped playing internet chess for a few years now its no fun and after people blitz out moves then all a sudden..Stop and boom u lose.

People like to see high grades on there names and its a goal for them.

Jun-12-15  dumbgai: <Volmac> and <mrandersson>: I agree, sometimes I'll play multiple games with someone around my own rating (1700-1800) for a few games, and then suddenly they'll start playing perfect moves for the next several games, crushing me in under 25 moves each time (without me having to blunder). But at least with these people you can report them and move on.

The real killer for me was how often other people falsely accused me of cheating, when I just happened to play a nice tactic. Cheating has become so common that everyone just assumes everyone else is cheating, leading to a really toxic environment.

Oct-11-15  Caissanist: Nigalidze's not going to get banned for 15 years, that is what he would face for a second offense. For a first offense, the maximum ban is for three years. It's been six months now since he was caught, there has yet to be a ruling announced by FIDE.
Dec-24-15  sonia91: Banned for 3 years and stripped of GM title: http://www.fide.com/component/conte...
Dec-26-15  King Radio: A just punishment. If it is proven, they should throw the max penalty on anyone caught, no matter who it is.

  alexmagnus: I never understood the "stripping of the GM title" part of the punishment. I mean, see, three years later the ban is over - and, given his playng strength, he'll have no troubles getting his GM norms again. And during the ban he cannot play anyway, so the title is useless. What's the use of revoking the GM title then?
Dec-26-15  King Radio: I suppose it's just something they can do. I do think the 3 year ban for first offense is too light, but that's the current rule. I'd be surprised if this was really his 'first offense' - first time getting caught, more likely. I'd be okay with a lifetime ban for those caught with irrefutable proof.

I'm sure this garbage goes on more than anyone suspects at the less than top tier events. The more draconian the punishment for cheaters, the better.

Dec-27-15  manorchy: He'll be rebooted as IM Nigalidze in 2018.

Niga, please.

Don't ever do it again.

Dec-07-19  jith1207: Sounds like he has not played since?
Dec-07-19  jith1207: <cg.com should amend this page. International Master (2009); Grandmaster (2014). Georgian Champion (2013) Proven Cheater (2015)>

Actually it is:

International Master (2009); Grandmaster (2014); Georgian Champion (2013); International Master (2015).

Kindly refrain from using racial epithets.
