On Sunday we saw Armenia Eagles wins PCL but there was a high suspicion on GM Tigran L. Petrosian and after investigation it has been found that he has violated fair play rules and Cheat Detention Team has found enough evidence that he cheated and closed his account with lifetime ban on Chess.com.

It was found that he violated fair play in both semifinals and finals as well and  thus lead to disqualification of his team and hence Arch Bishops were declared the winners of PCL 2020 today. 

Also there we an heated argument between Wesley So and Tigran in comments in news section which lead to news topic locked.

moves that were very artificial, and he kept looking down in the live footage for no reason.

Wow, that is big news.

I think, personally, that players from the countries which comprised the old Soviet Union, are more inclined to cheat, for historical and cultural reasons.

@GMWSO (GM Wesley So) basically accused GM Petrosian for looking down a lot while playing against his opponent which made people think he was cheating...after the "accusation", he cussed a lot saying a lot of stuff and ultimately challenged him to match and the winner would get $5k...all of this was said in @GothamChess's most recent YouTube video...

I stated my opinion that players from the Old Soviet Union countries are inclined to cheat.

Nakamura and Wesley So made it clear in stream that they feel Tigran seems suspicious. 

There were lot of accusations from the members in the live stream that he was looking down so much while playing. This lead to investigation and enough evidence was found by CDT to confirm that he was indeed cheating.

Its honestly sad when regular chess players cheat...but its even more sad when titled players cheat*sigh*

Unrelated question- Isn't "Archbishop" one word? Shouldn't it be the Saint Louis Archbishops?

The guy should apologize to Wesley So. But I am sure he won't.

Probably a dumb cheater.

He should buy a 24 inch monitor, Split screen and watch to the monitor.

In general, majority of caught cheaters are dumb.
