The chess cheating drama is intensifying with the revelation of chess(dot)com emails from Hans Niemann's coach Maxim Dlugy that was name dropped by world champion Magnus Carlsen last week. I have come to believe that any player in any cash-prize tournament should sign a form that he agrees to pay a huge sum like twice the price of the biggest cash prize, on top of reimbursing his prizes, in case there is proof of cheating in the next 5 years - and even if he didn't win any prize in that tournament. Raising the stakes is often a pretty good solution to disincentivizing cheating and there is a lot of different setups that can be tested.
