Police Called To Control– Chess Tournament!

Police were called to a top chess tournament in Ireland after one of the players accused his opponent of cheating by using a computer in the bathroom. Romanian-born Gabriel Mirza claims he was on his way to winning the Cork Congress Chess Open when he noticed strange things going on with his 16-year-old opponent. But things turned ugly when Mirza allegedly followed his opponent into the men's room and then forcibly pulled him out of a toilet stall. Tournament officials called police who had to physically escort Mirza out of the building after he was expelled from the tournament. But Mirza insists, "After each move he went to the toilet, at least 20 times! I found him in the toilet with an android checking the moves with a chess engine!" Mirza said he wanted to grab the tablet from his hands but instead went to a controller to have a witness. The controller followed Mirza to the restroom where Mizra forced the cubicle door open and pulled his opponent out. Mirza was questioned by police but released without charge.
