Therein lies the problem. I think I could work it out given 10 minutes alone with Ivanov in a room; Midnight Express anyone? =o
Seriously though, whatever method he is using (and I am convinced he is using some method) it is much more subtle and technically advanced than what we are used to seeing in chess.
The recent articles which mention that he 'doesn't move at all at the board or from the board during games' provides a big hint for where we should be looking. Probably some visual technology coupled with sensors/transmitters of some kind?! The technology exists of course, it's the practicalities of using them during a chess game which would have to be overcome.
I'm pretty sure a good magician, with a decent background in chess and a knowledge of 'spy' technology could work it out pretty quickly. Anyone know of such a person? :\
