WIRED on Intl Master of Chess beat online by an Unknown Player

In summary: DADDY!!"In summary, an Indonesian man who is a retired bird-feed seller beat a top grandmaster online, and the controversy arises because the grandmaster thinks it was cheating. After doing some analysis, Chess.com concludes the man had used chess engine moves, and so they ban him. However, the man claims he has been playing using engine moves for years and is a prodigy, so the grandmaster's suspicions are not entirely unfounded. Social media is vicious towards the man, with some people calling for his death threats to be taken seriously.

Not to mention, competitors trying to steal your business as has happened with other websites being reimagined in China.
