In light of (better yet, to make light of) the current “buzz” surrounding the alleged Hans Niemann cheating scandal that recently rocked the world of professional chess, I reached out to a former member of the infamous MIT Blackjack Team (who wishes to remain anonymous) to review dozens of wireless, remote-controlled anal devices to see which would work best for cheating your way to victory against the great, grand masters of chess. (You can read more about that here.)
In case you missed it (or are too young to remember), the MIT Blackjack Team was a group of top students and ex-students from MIT, Harvard and other top universities who used sophisticated card-counting techniques and other “creative” strategies to beat, er, cheat casinos worldwide out of millions of dollars. The 2008 film 21 starring Kevin Spacey was devoted to their story.

For centuries the world of professional chess has been riddled with sex and scandal. Just kidding (obviously), though I can imagine it does have its share of hot, nerd-girl groupies and a few stories to go with it, unlike all those boring sports like football and wrastlin’. So imagine my surprise (and delight) when I read breaking news with both “chess” and “anal beads” in the headlines — it’s the stuff SCREW lives for! And the challenge of coming up with chess-based innuendoes for our own headline (and headings) is every SCREW publisher’s wet dream. “Innuendo,” by the way, is Italian for anal sex. Get it, in-you-endo? (I’m here all week.)
