Hukuman Kes Penipuan Dalam Pertandingan Catur

Gopeng - 29/12/2015 - Seperti yang kita sedia maklum, seorang lagi Grandmaster telah ditangkap kerana menipu dalam Dubai Open awal tahun 2015. GM Gaoiz Nigalidze dari Georgia telah didakwa kerana cubaan beliau menipu dengan menyembunyikan talefon pintar dalam tandas.

'FIDE Ethics Commission' telah menyiasat kes ini dan telah menjatuhkan hukuman terhadap beliau. Sebelum ini ada berlaku kisah penipuan dalam pertandingan catur, tetapi dalam kes ini ia dianggap berprofil tinggi kerana melibatkan Grandmaster. Tambahan pula,sejak akhir - akhir ini beliau ada menjuarai kejohanan catur walaupun merupakan pemain yang memiliki 'seeded' yang agak rendah.

Pada bulan April 2015, GM Petrosian membuat bantahan kerana tingkah laku Gaois mencurigakan dan menemukan talefon pintar yang disembunyikan di sebalik tong sampah dalam tandas.

The advent of the rising number of cheating cases, and of course the increased ease with modern technology such as smartphones that can beat even Magnus Carlsen, has made the creation of new guidelines by FIDE and even the Anti-Cheating Commission a must.
This is the first case of a player being investigated, judged, and punished by FIDE, in which the strongest punishments were deemed appropriate. Here is the statement by FIDE, and a link to the full decision.
The FIDE Ethics Commission has recently announced its judgment and sanction in the case against GM Gaioz Nigalidze of Georgia for cheating in the 2015 Dubai Open, held in April this year. Mr Nigalidze was found guilty of violating clause 2.2.5 of the FIDE Code of Ethics and sanctioned with a 3 year ban and revocation of his Grandmaster title.


The investigation followed an incident when Nigalidze was caught using an electronic device during play to analyze his game against GM Tigran Petrosian of Armenia in the 6th round of the tournament. Nigalidze was immediately defaulted in the game by the chief arbiter and expelled from the tournament.


The Presidential Board appointed a three-person Investigatory Chamber to investigate the complaint of cheating. Nigalidze admitted his guilt and voluntarily withdrew from participation in all tournaments as of April 2015.


The Ethics Commission stressed that cheating is a very serious offence. The anti-cheating guidelines adopted by FIDE recommends up to a 3 year ban for a first offence and up to a 15 year ban for a second or later offence, subject to further review in the future.


Given that the offence was committed by a professional player and reigning national champion in a high profile tournament with substantial prize monies, the Ethics Commission held that a worldwide ban of 3 years from participation as a player in any rated chess competition or any chess activity as an arbiter, organizer or representative of a chess federation is appropriate. The ban will last until 5 September 2018.


In addition, Nigalidze was stripped of his Grandmaster (GM) title on the basis of unworthiness. However, his international master (IM) title, obtained already in 2009, was left intact in recognition of his remorseful and cooperative conduct in the investigation.


This case is significant for being the first case of cheating being decided since FIDE’s establishment of an Anti-Cheating Committee and its adoption of anti-cheating guidelines and amendment of the Code of Ethics to provide for much increased sanctions in November 2014.
