My point is: Honest players are transparent to avoid any misunderstandings. Then arbiter looked at the board and it's still theory so no harm done and nothing happened of it.

You know what an honest player does? Go to the arbiter, say "I didn't notice I had a phone with me, I want you to observe me while I get it out of my pocket and turn it off, and then stuff in my bag". But you will quickly feel that you have it on you, it happened to me before move 10. Personal anecdote: Having a phone with you just happens sometimes, when you are in a hurry because of a short lunch break (in a 2R-per-day tournamenr, the longer your first game, the shorter your lunch break) you can sometimes forget your phone in your pocket. That alone is enough to get expelled from the tournament, and the other evidence is more than enough for the 2-year ban. The fact that after the game a phone was found on her person means: She had a phone with her for the entire game and went to the toilet a dozen times with a phone during the game.

She was checking variations from a chess program. It was exactly the same position she had had on the board a while ago. She was using a phone and I am sure of what I saw. Finally, when I climbed up high enough, I looked down. My heart was beating so fast when I was climbing on the toilet! I was all shaking. I went to the middle one and silently started to stand up on the toilet seat. She went to the one on the left (the middle one had a little gap at the side of the door and the right one had a window with a view of the backyard). In the bathroom there were three toilets.

When she left the playing venue, I waited 30 seconds and went to follow her. I played a move and then I saw Patrycja get up from the board (she was playing close to us). ' I was playing a game against Anna Kubicka. The below is a quote from eye witness Katarzyna Dwilewicz whom caught Patrycja Waszczuk using a mobile phone in the toilet during Round 4 of the Ustroń Chess Festival.
