OTB, it's a lot harder. At the higher level, it's basically impossible. However, those... err.. determined ones have some tricks up their sleeve. Some smuggle a phone into their pocket, then ask to go to the bathroom. In the bathroom, they'll pull up the analysis board and... well... you know what happens next. 

Also, I really hope you don't actually want to learn to cheat in irl chess to win a bet tongue.png

Depending on your friends strength it would be an option to have a camera in the room. I could follow the game and with a system of sms signals I could help you decide what to do. But I want half the money.

I’ve seen in low time matches people will make an illegal move without the opponent noticing. Here’s a video of it.

How to cheat chess IRL? You watch their history. Look at the openings they always lose against. Memorize how to play with that opening he can't beat.

that's not cheating, it's just creepy

I mean it’s not cheating but a lot of pros will look at their competitors past games to find what they usually start with and how to beat it.

Dude that't stalking. Stop being so creepy

This happens all the time at higher ratings.

I've seen masters check their pairings, then 5 minutes before the round they're on their laptops looking up their opponent's games online, what they normally play, what they've lost to recently,  scrolling through their theory so they can be reminded of their prep really quickly, etc.

Also players will walk around during the tournament and note what openings people are playing.

Some people have certain things they like to do if they know e.g. you're a 1.d4 2.c4 player... but if you play something else they have a different way of playing.

Ask Magnus Carlsen to whisper the best moves in your ear via microphone lol

You move the piece halfway on a square and then you can adjust it to whichever square you like. Don’t actually do that lol

I don't know for sure but from what I hear, people ask to go to the bathroom and then use their phone to input things to chess engines.

I just read a wikipedia article on cheating in chess out of curiosity.

I don't know how people can be bothered.

Farting around inputting an entire game into an engine? Even if for some God only knows what reason I wanted to cheat...like, I'd be executed for losing a game...That's a lot of bother.

This guy makes an IRL/OTB cheating device which vibrates and tells you which moves to make:

In this video he shows how it can't be detected by a metal scanner:

riiight

i forgot about the time that the whole chess community decided it was fine to humiliate someone who was like 19 or 20 by accusing them of cheating (wrong) bad enough by itself but then saying that the method was a s*xual toy

... think about it and then realise how bad (and incredibly offensive) such jokes are
