What's the Howell story?

@Patzering
The French team in a past Olympiad had a player who cheated Howell for the win in a game that stopped England's progress.

Howell was dropped from the team as a result (he is 19 years old then), he ran the game through an engine later in the day to see were he went wrong and the results were 100% on every move his opponent made. They were signalling the French guy from an auditorium at the arse end of the arena it was later revealed.

Suffice to say he was seriously pissed off and still is to this day.

@Hells-Caretaker

Like Auric Goldfinger cheating at cards near the swimming pool.
