@StomyGame@jackharrhyisme@YanDaik Why was Bullet such a mistake? I would have thought it would outperform a homebrew bsp collision system unless you put a lot of optimization work into it
@rnovak1988@mattforney Okay, here's the video of the event. https://t.co/0R3VGXqX8x The IM immediately does a double take, notices the mistake, pauses the clock, raises his hand to acknowledge the illegal move, looks around for arbiter. He wasn't trying to sneak it past his opponent.
@TallowFan@mattforney It is a bizarre mistake. It might have actually been a ploy to get some extra time to think about the position since the IM was low on time. That would be incredibly poor sportsmanship but not necessarily a huge deal in a classical time control with increment
@mattforney Giving extra time to the kid after the illegal move is just standard procedure according to the FIDE rules. The arbiter didn't "realize something fishy was going on" and declare some special penalty for "cheating".
@mattforney IM, not GM. This was not an attempt to cheat, both players are far too strong for that to make sense (the kid was rated >2000, expert level).
This was a competitive tournament, not a fun exhibition
Thavandiran immediately saw the mistake and paused the clock to summon the arbiter
