Sir I love your music pieces. Please upload some more

[@rdsharma1973]

Ms Bojana Bejatovic is indeed an authority on the subject NOT only because she is the CFPO (Chief Fair Play Officer) of this Olympiad but also due to the fact that she is the secretary of FPL (Fair Play Commission) !! Thanx Bojana for giving us the much needed clarity on this issue !!

I think it was a mind game before Uzbekistan vs India played by Vladimir Kramnik.

[@PrithviEarth-cs1wj]

For those suggesting that he should buy cameras, they need to understand that ChessBase is covering a large number of games. Just looking at the Indian team alone, there are 8 games happening daily, which would require 8 cameras. On top of that, there’s additional camera equipment to consider. Transporting all this gear would require a lot of luggage, potentially needing a mini-van to manage it all. For a small team, handling this amount of equipment would be quite difficult, and traveling with it would be a major hassle.

[@DJaY_BS]

Well said

[@YRMW1983]

And cameras today can also transmit and have loads of functions similar to phones. If you wanted to cheat with a camera you could. So Kramnik can shove his accusations to where the sun doesn’t shine.

[@siriusbrown5860]

Also he said that they use mobile phones because it is easier to record whole match which lasts 6+ hours and mobile batteries lasts long.

[@statuseditz6401]

sad to see great players aging

[@drramakrishnapawar3213]

Good. No need to cheat. Clearance from fide is a good sign. Let us play the game with a good spirit.👏👏👏👏👏👏

I would say Kramnik should be ashamed of himself. But after seeing him captain a team with Sindarov and coach Hans, I don't think Kramnik has any shame left

Wow no sim, no bluetooth, no wifi, no connected device history, bahi yeh log feed kaise bhej rahe hai phir ? Kudos to Chessbase in following the regulations and maintaining transparency. I also understand Kramnik's point of view as others may potentially exploit this later on.Though this reminds me of old school russian pressure tactics when competing they allegedly will use anything for their advantage. like throwing chairs or shouting while playing in a glass exhibition room with many cameras on them.

[@alpaykolonel6867]

The next olympiad in 2026 will take place in Uzbekistan. Alot of media members from different countries would ask for mobile phones accessing into the tournament hall to record their teams. Because India has opened a door ongoing olympiad. How can you handle the broadcasting 15 min. delay rule in between such a mess of recording mobile phones.

[@Randomthings1210]

Lol.. this is not the first time CBI has used cameras/phones. They have been doing this for so many years and covering literally all of the best tournaments diligently. No one is so committed to ask for these permissions.

[@sumeetmane10]

Listen to last part of video, she clearly mentioned these devices are used only to record the video not transmitted it for broadcasting, for broadcasting only official footage from the table cameras can be used. Hope you understand…

[@ranjankgp2024]

First of all India team didn't do anyting. Please do not mix up. It was Chessbase India who were recording the games for later videos. Now Chessbase India didn't break any rules. Its already in Fide's rulebook.

[@alpaykolonel6867]

@@sumeetmane10 Fair play team can check 4 phones and put a sticker on them at the moment. How can they check if 150-200 phones are transmitting data in the next Olympics? We all know about the technologic developments. I believe Papua New Guinea could have grab the gold medal in the next olympiad.

@@alpaykolonel6867 well in that case digital cameras too have Bluetooth which can transmitte the data , should they too be banned?

[@NEVV03_TKG]

What caused Kramnik to wait until round 9 to address Fairplay? He mentioned that he observed people with mobile phones inside the playing hall during the earlier rounds after the game began. Was the intention to make Gukesh and the team feel unsettled?

[@Lotarious]

Because he is the captain of Uzbekistan, not a FIDE arbiter. He was reasonably concerned when his team was in that position. Also, it's a bit more complicated when the media team filming is a clear supporter of the opposite team. This of course doesn't mean they were cheating. But protecting his team is kinda his job.

Kramnik waited 8 rounds to make this statement. It's obviously meant to distract and disturb the Indian contingent there. But sadly it didn't work Kramnik🤡

[@my_handle_123]

I think we (both fans and our federation) let this joker too easily when he baselessly accused Nihal of cheating, so he still has the audacity to pull out these cheap tricks. 😡

The motivation behind the complaint is due to jealousy. Quite immature action by the coach
