Due to technology, it has become easy for most chess players to use the help of some chess engines both on phones and laptops to help them win titles.
There are some rules which have been put to regulate on the use of phones especially inside and around the tournament rooms but this has not stopped some players from going ahead to force victories with the help of machine analysis.

Bangladesh Grandmaster Igors Rausis is a 58-year-old player who won the grandmaster title in 1992 and has over the years represented Latvia in many chess tournaments. He was caught red-handed using a phone during a game.
the International chess Federation suspended him due to such misconduct.

It was a relief to the organizers to catch a cheater after several battles against cheating in chess. The grandmaster was found in the toilet using his phone. The matter was forwarded to the police as well to make its own investigation.

Rausis had participated in the chess leagues in Bangladesh in the late 1990s and early 2000s before coaching the national team in 2000, 2002, 2007 and 2008. He has raised his rating very fast in the past few years and currently, he has a rating of 2686. He has achieved a lot for his country as well.
The matters are still being handled, let's see what transpires.

He probably ran a chess engine to solve the current position. It always shows the best possible moves for both players.

OMFG who does that? He is moreover a grandmaster..!!!!

He might be stripped off his titles and trophies won!!

I once had of an incident where a player passed a chit and some money under table for the opponent player to give him a draw..

You may wonder how he was caught, the table was made of glass ie transparent
hahaha...

Technology has both sides. You can use it for good or vice versa.
It is up to us how we do things with it.
