The 82nd German Chess Championships took place in Bonn Thursday 26th May - Sat 4th June 2011. Igor Khenkin took first place on tie-break from Jan Gustafsson after both finished on 6.5/9. Sarah Hoolt won the women's title. However it is the disqualification of Christoph Natsidis that will make the most headlines. He has admitted to analysing his final round game on his smartphone. The power that people carry around in their pockets now makes it likely that even carrying such phones will have to be banned at most levels of the game. How effective this would be is another question and there is no doubt it will be highly inconvenient. One would also have to speculate that this has now become extremely widespread.
