To do that once the match has already started and the score is in your favor is insane. He demanded the 3+2 control even though Jose usually plays 3+1 on those "suspicious games". And even though they were some issues, I imagine you can get a sense of a player strength after playing 28 games.

[@maluco3026]

Everything was all over the place but in the end the games cleared Jose's name which was the main intention. Playing with brand new laptops was a big misstep, although I understand Kramnik's thinking, at some point he simply needs to find someone in IT from is side to be present and clear any questions he has. Modern Operating Systems are very complex, so they should have consulted with IT people to guarantee a stable playing field instead of prioritizing everything fresh. I also understand Kramnik's frustration around time issues, as he's used to physical clocks, but he and everyone needs to understand that time syncing in a network is one of toughest challenges in IT. It's really hard to sync times because, time itself is an uncontrollable variable on the solution side of the equation.

[@yusephdiaz9215]

Yesss i like it!!!

[@PohonPinuss]

A rematch always being scheduled as long as I'm losing. -Kramnik-

[@seb5587]

fantastic video production

[@CypherBen_]

Kramnik accused me of using my microwave wrongly, he said I should put it at 3 minutes and not 3 minutes and 12 seconds. That extra 12 seconds made him lose his mind and smashed my microwave. So, a rematch between my microwave and mr Kramnik isnt possible then.

I will literally join, buy diamond, sub on Twitch, wtv at 5$ if this kind of video ever happens again. Outstanding work and doesn't require such a monumentous match up to create such a video. A+

I imagine kramnik prepping like world Championship for the 19 august rematch if kramnik really does that he will win half of the matches in opening.

[@Chica1937]

That’s so true

[@Alice58302]

Idk what you would call prepping? Its known that kramnik's repetoire is really big, its also known in the first match martinez was strugling against the french. I imagine both would prepare...

Kramnik's 2000 world championship prep is the reason everyone plays the Berlin at the highest level vs the Spanish after all. At his peak his prep was monumental. That said he just isn't nearly as strong as he used to be as a player and he cannot accept that, which I think is at the root of him accusing everyone else of cheating.

Kramnik experiences lag problems that gamers have been experiencing since the dawn of network gaming.. I've seen my opponents clock reach zero and then not flag so many times you just accept it as a reality of playing online chess or any COD type game .. 😟 Kudo's to Jose for beating him.

Kramnick only complains💀
