Cheat-detection was our priority during the online classic open that we organized during the 2020 lockdown (it went really well thanks to @ChesscomLive), and we take it seriously now also during the @chessable #SunwaySitges Festival. Special thanks to top players for cooperating!

@Jonathan_Rowson PS: I forgot to put 1. g4 in one of your games before you arrived at the board. Would have loved to see your reaction. You know what I'm referring to. 🤣

[Lance Leslie-Smith @LanceLSmith23]

@Jonathan_Rowson It was a pleasure to have you play in the event @Jonathan_Rowson. Even with the ups and downs. That was a mighty fine performance! I'm sure you will cherish this and I know there will be more masterclasses to come!

[Lance Leslie-Smith @LanceLSmith23]

@Jonathan_Rowson @chessable It's a pleasure to have you play in the event! All the best for the rest of your games. 🏆
