Morgan continued talking about claims that Niemann was getting signals from someone through the remote-controlled sex toy.
“To be clear, on the specific allegation - have you ever used anal beads while playing chess?” Morgan asked.
The 20-year-old replied: "Well, your curiosity is a bit concerning, you know - maybe you’re personally interested, but I can tell you, no.
How was it meant to work, in theory? Someone watching the match, then getting the moves off a computer and then morse-coding the coordinates through his bum vibrations?
I mean, all this is hypothetical but yes - all the matches were live so someone could watch it, pull moves out of a computer and transmit the instructions via a remote controlled set of anal beads but it all seems like an awful lot of effort.
