對西洋棋選手 Hans Niemann 的調查

前幾天在「用情趣用品在西洋棋比賽裡面傳遞摩斯電碼作弊」這篇裡面有提到目前對 Hans Niemann 的調查都還在進行,現在 Chess.com 先丟出調查報告了:「Hans Niemann Report」,另外 Hacker News 上也有討論:「The Full Chess Cheating Report of Hans Neiman (chess.com)」。

PDF 的 summary 開頭就提到分析了線上的對奕記錄作弊的比率比起 Hans Niemann 所承認的高很多:

We present evidence in this report that Hans likely cheated online much more than his public statements suggest. However, while Hans has had a record-setting and remarkable rise in rating and strength, in our view there is a lack of concrete statistical evidence that he cheated in his game with Magnus or in any other over-the-board (“OTB”)—i.e., in-person—games. We are presenting our findings here and will cooperate with FIDE on any further investigation.

除了棋局上的記錄,在後面「How Cheat Detection Works」這個章節也提到了很多額外的 event log,像是視窗切換之類的資訊。

然後 Chess.com 也宣佈撤回賽事邀請,並且停權:

We uninvited Hans from our upcoming major online event and revoked his access to our site based on our experience with him in the past, growing suspicions among top players and our team about his rapid rise of play, the strange circumstances and explanations of his win over Magnus, as well as Magnus’ unprecedented withdrawal. In order to have more time to investigate the OTB situation and our own internal concerns, we uninvited Hans from our event and prevented his access to Chess.com. We are open to continuing a dialogue with Hans to discuss his status on Chess.com.

先有一個組織跳出來下刀了...

用情趣用品在西洋棋比賽裡面傳遞摩斯電碼作弊

標題資訊量有點大... 先講一下最近西洋棋界的新聞,九月的時候 Magnus Carlsen 指控 Hans Niemann 作弊,這件事情到目前還沒有完全落幕,可以翻維基百科的條目看看目前的進展:「Carlsen–Niemann controversy」。

而「ButtFish – Transmit Morse Code of chess moves to your butt (github.com/ronsijm)」這篇,則是示範怎麼用肛塞 (我這邊就拿 PChome 24h 的搜尋頁,有「興趣」的可以自己翻),加上很多情趣用品是可以透過 API 操作的 (作者提到了 Buttplug 這個專案),於是就造就了這個新的專案:「ButtFish」,專案名稱看起來是「引用」自西洋棋領域裡很有名的 Stockfish 引擎。

另外這張 Three circles model 圖也很好笑:

不過這個方法應該過不了金屬探測器,現在的競技比賽應該都會有才對?所以這專案只是很靠背而已...

專案頁面上最後面的自嘲也很好笑:

提供 Cheatsheet 的服務:cheat.sh

看到「chubin/cheat.sh」這個服務:

the only cheat sheet you need

他提供了 HTTP(S) 介面讓你存取 (透過 curl 或是其他的軟體),像是這樣的操作:

而且提供了 shell script 讓你可以更方便在 command line 下使用:

curl https://cht.sh/:cht.sh > ~/bin/cht.sh
chmod +x ~/bin/cht.sh

你可以把 cht.sh 換成其他你喜歡的名字,或是用 alias 方便操作...

Windows 將引入 TruePlay,推出作弊偵測的 API

在「Windows now includes gaming cheat detection at the system level」這邊看到微軟將會引入 TruePlay (然後跟 Sonostrueplay 衝名 XDDD) 作弊偵測機制。

很明顯的會有隱私問題,而也很明顯的微軟說不會有隱私問題:

As Microsoft notes, "to protect customer privacy, no data is shared or transmitted until permission is granted," and no information is sent until "processing has determined cheating is likely to have occurred."

這不是把人當傻子嗎,遊戲一開始就會要求你同意才能玩啊,所以資料一定會送出的啊... 而且 TruePlay 變成作業系統的標準配備後,作弊程式就會找 workaround 才會推出 :o
