They get to the bottom of whether chess against a grandmaster could be won with remote-controlled sex toys

    I mean, they have vibrating but plugs, that can be controlled remotely by an app. Each move would be instructed with 2 number pairs. Each pair represents a square on the board- normally they’re identified by letters running left to right (from white’s perspective,) a-h, and a number 1-8 (white’s home row is 1).

    The first pair is the starting position, the second pair is the final position, so you pulse out four numbers with a pause between them, and that communicates the move.

    The person with the remote app (that can be used across the internet, for the record,) watched a live feed and plugs in the move an opponent makes, and reports back the chess ai’s move.

    Bzzt-bzzt—bzzt-bzzt-bzzt-bzzt-bzzt—bzzt-bzzt-bzzt—bzzt-bzzt-bzzt-bzzt-bzzt-

    Would instruct a move from the pawn in E2 to move to e3,

    Just a guess; though, these guys just wanted to shove a vibrator up their ass… no judgment.

      If you had a pitch perfect butt, you could pulse different frequencies to make the transmission faster. Ideally 8 tones, so just 4 pulses each time.

      E2 to E3 would be (I’m changing the numbers to just count out the buzzes to make it easier. E is one short buzz.):

      Buzz. Buzz buzz.

      Buzz. Buzz buzz buzz.

      (Now imagine the old notation “King’s Bishop takes Queen’s Knight”)
