Chess Grandmaster Cheats in Tournament from the bathroom.
Monday April 13, 2015 Geogian chess grandmaster has been banned from the Dubai Open Chess Tournament after getting caught while he made his way to the toilet to consult his smartphone, which was logged onto a chess analysis app. Nigalidze's chess opponent, Tigran Petrosian of Armenia, began to get suspicious when Nigalidze kept running to the bathroom. "The Armenian noticed the Georgian was oddly frequenting the toilet after each move during a crucial part of the game." When searched for a device they found nothing on Nigalidze, but when they went to the stall he was sitting in when going to cheat they found a cellphone hidden in the toilet paper. Nigalidze claimed the cellphone wasn't his, but the phone was logged on to a social media network under his account. "They also found his game being analyzed in one of the chess applications." The violation was then reported to the International Chess Federation. The Dubai tournament's chief arbiter, Mahdi Abdul Rahim, said players found guilty of cheating will be suspended for three years from all sanctioned tournaments and up to 15 years for a repeated offense. Nigalidze's resume includes victories in the 2013 and 2014 Georgian Chess Championships. It's not clear how many times he went to the bathroom during those matches.
A lot of people don't think of the effects cheating can have on them. Once you begin it is like an endless cycle of having to do it again. When you cheat you are not teaching yourself how to do the task at hand but only to get the answers right away. Therefor the next time you go to partake in that activity you still do not know what to do so your brain automatically reverts to your first choice from the last time, to cheat. Let's also not forget the consequences that come with cheating. When and if getting caught cheating there's no turning back. For a while there will be no trust; you may not even get it back, you may not be able to do what you were doing while cheating for a very long time; if you even get to do it again, and people will never look at you the same. There is a saying " Once a cheater, always a cheater." Think twice before you cheat.

Good Night and Good Luck Questions
1. Why were CBS executives and its journalists so hesitant about questioning Senator McCarthy?
- CBS executives and its journalists were so hesitant about questioning Senator McCarthy because at the time, journalists were not supposed to go against the government. They could loose their careers. CBS could have been hit with large fines. Stalk holders could have complained and voted out the CEO.
2. What method did Murrow and the other journalists use in the first story against McCarthy? Why did they choose this way to tell their story?
- Murrow used excerpts from McCarthy's own speeches and proclamations to criticize the Senator and point our episodes where he had contradicted himself. Which evidently contributed to the political downfall of Senator Joseph McCarthy.

3. Describe McCarthy's appearance on Murrow's program. In your opinion, was it positive? Negative?
- McCarthy's rebuttal served only to further decrease his already fading popularity. His appearance was negative.

Murrow exposed him for the "malicious liar that he was."
4. Why did Murrow's schedule get changed on CBS from a nightly program to Sunday afternoons?

7. What was Murrow's speech at the beginning and the end of the film about?
