This is so interesting that Kramnik is connected to the new chess platform being created and suddenly sees ghosts everywhere with cheating

[@rmlgaming2091]

This _has_ to be it. Always follow the money 💰!

[@humanspider69]

And he is teamed up with nepomniachichi, who is just more disgused in his actions

[@skye2192]

Irony is I guarantee if he makes a new chess platform everyone's going to go cheat on it for the memes and/or to test the system lol

[@pizzaf]

Who the f does kramnik think he is?

[@ysr.oo3]

ikr everyone in his family is probably the same

[@em4six348]

kramnik the type of guy to ask for a 20 min rest

[@CosmicGoat-d3o]

🤣🤣🤣

[@SELECT289]

lol, foul

[@Apopjak]

salty hikiru is going to ask that for sure

[@Dtownpunk77]

I think it's funny that at one point the world was learning about chess from kramnik, now the world is trying to explain chess to kramnik.

Kramnik Gambit: declined variation.

[@nigelmokfilms7294]

Who the fuck does kramnik think he is? Seriously! 😏

[@kdiigx]

Fake cheating allegations will ruin chess just as fast as cheating will.

[@jgreen802]

One is a symptom of the other. As cheating increases so will the allegations, and since there's no way to really prove cheating in online chess the problem will only get worse.

[@kdiigx]

@@jgreen802 very true. If the article Hikaru is reading is correct, it’s more sinister though. Accusations solely to stir dissent and distrust for a rival company is concerning. Cheating will always happen, but accusations without evidence must be punished in some way or another.

[@varunsinghnarwal8014]

Kramnik is a little bit koo koo

[@capt_howdy]

Who the f*** does Kramnik think he is?

[@kayquealbuquerque7213]

World champion

[@Limbless]

basic psychology makes me feel like since kramnik was accused of cheating in the past, this is all because he did cheat and therefore believes everyone else would too

[@siliconmalta2349]

While I believe Kramnik was wrong about Hikaru, I also believe there is an epidemic of cheating problems. In the end, cheaters only make themselves worse while making you better

[@Alex_Alx]

Hikaru, what about your accusations of IM Nikolay Vlassov in early 2000s on Playchess? He wasn't cheating but because of your scandaling he lost price money from several tournametns (~5000 dollars). He is not a rich guy and that was huge money for him.

[@Ceeewolf]

China chess is also pretty good. After all, the current world champ hails from there.

[@johnbiteme9118]

More people need to question Kramnik's motivations. His false accusations about cheating are so ridiculously wrong and unsupported by facts or logic that a person would have to be mentally unbalanced to be repeatedly making such claims - unless he has some ulterior motive.

[@martinpaddle]

By now I'm certain he's not acting in good faith. I pointed out mistakes in his analysis 3 times: on the statistics, on a video that was supposed to show his clock drop but was edited, and on the fact that even real chess clocks sometimes appear to move from one second to the next quicker because they don't display fractions of seconds. The result? He accused me of manipulating people and blocked me

[@johnwest7993]

I said on one of Hikaru's videos a couple of months ago that what Kramnik was doing wasn't something that a smart man would do. It was simply irrational. So I postulated that he had larger reasons that had something to do with the war in Ukraine and the propaganda goal of putting non-Russian chess into disrepute in Russia, where chess is held in such high regard.

[@niclasvestman]

Excellent commentary from Hikaru as per usual. Someone needs to call out corrupt hacks. And mr Nakamura does an impeccable job at it. 👍 Well done sir!

[@astlinj]

kramnik want him to be the last World champion from Russia🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Tomhankerus]

I think Kramnik should be permanently banned from Chess in general at this point. He only exists to damage it out of spite for not being a top player anymore.

[@chernobyln]

What makes it worse is he literally works for FIDE. Ridiculous.

[@joshuahietala5174]

I like your idea, but at the same time, he's actions are probably bringing more players into chess, you know.

[@xanderjakovlev4193]

Who do you think you are to make statements like this one? 😁😁😁 He brought to chess theory more than you could possibly imagine mate .. I do not agree with his methods either ,he could do that other way in my opinion. But the problem that he speaks about really exists in chess on a very high level you can't deny that. He is still the legend of chess, a little bit paranoid and crazy but legend )))

[@InVersionStudio]

What Kramnik damage? He can see results all and all...

[@aviralbhatnagar4982]

​@xanderjakovlev4193 buddy being a legend and bringing theory to the game of chess does not empowers you to say anything you want. Strict actions should be taken against him , maybe on a harsher side but to ban him from all of chess all together

[@FlaminalLow]

Kramnik’s become today’s Silvio Danilov…and could become tomorrows Bobby Fischer 😬

[@mmathems395]

The participants of chess tournaments could complain that another participant has trash talked them and that the trash talker should be removed from the tournament. So, the first fine would be for 100 USD or 100 of some other currency if the USD becomes worthless, but it would be coupled with a public apology within the same forum where the offensive communication was released. And an apology means a promise that such and such shall never happen again. And so, if a new incident of trash talking should arise regarding an incident after the date of the given apology, then the player would be directed to give another public apology, but must pay a new fine for 10 times the amount of the previous fine. And this cycle would continue until the player decides that they no longer wish to pay the fine, which shall result in their permanent suspension from all Chess tournaments. And this is my suggestion for how trash talking is to be eliminated from Chess. There needs to be an independent Chess Offences authority respected by all Chess tournaments, and since the authority would exist to uphold the business interests of so many people, this should be no problem whatsoever. People who do trash talking meddle with the minds of others and create unnecessary dramas at the risk and expense of Chess itself. Chess is what we want. Drama is what we do not want. Here’s how the trash can be weeded out to encourage, promote and reward high standards and high quality to improve the reputation of Chess, and maintain it.

[@MAXS200]

Kramnik might have ulterior motives and the whole saga a shit show, his position piece on the war is pretty much on point unlike most people in the chess world

[@RajAgarwal-pg7kn]

Conspiracy controversy...

[@sorenzollamas]

This is rich that Hikaru is criticizing Kramnik for making unfounded cheating rumors when Hikaru did the same thing with Niemann.

[@kaszaspeter77]

Except those were not ounfounded, Hans even admitted to cheating himself.

[@sorenzollamas]

@@kaszaspeter77 Not to the claim that he cheated against Carlsen. That was the claim Hikaru promoted.

[@deputyvillageidiot]

@@sorenzollamasScrutuny of Niemen was not “unfounded.” The fact that he admitted to cheating, even just having been identified as a cheater, makes the scrutiny not just founded, but in fact well-founded. Kramnik is pointing to people who have no such history, without any evidence, and potentially ruining their careers.

[@thomasthorstensson9998]

Ur talking BS. Kramnik now managed to cause serious players worries. Nice dude eh. Heck he even posts their profiles on twitter. His record is such. Shameful. Period.

[@u.v.s.5583]

What Kramnik thought and said: "I am a russional person!" What the world supposes he said: "I am a rational person."

[@jannorling2158]

I think the problem is that a good player can play close to perfect you can never detect 1or2 moves of help in a classical game. But i a 3min game can you really cheat that easy? I mean deside on how and when to do it to not make it obvius? Thats got to be hard? Why not try it and see how hard it is? Is it that much help and can you just take a few moves help then play the rest on you own and not get the whole line?

[@timflick2350]

WOW! This explains a lot!!

If you're calling Kramnik's arguments "proofs" with the quotes, disprove them. Nah, didn't think you could do that or even try.

[@dmitrovskoezhivoe]

2 + 2 = 4 hence you are a cheater. Good luck 'disproving' that

[@StockMalthiel]

The "report" option exists for that, "report", Kramnik "reports", whether it is true or not that they cheat is the website's problem. But for a GM like Hikaru to make fun of him or try to silence him, that's garbage. I think Hikaru and Levi are cheaters.

[@kaszaspeter77]

1. Kramnik lives in Geneva, no longer in Russia, so you could say he also left Russia. 2. Kramnik is half-Russian, half-Ukrainian according to his own words, so I am not sure where his loyalties would be in the conflict.

[@tristanthamm505]

Like many Russians he is not really in support of the war. However he also distrustful of the western narrative concerning Ukraine. So he’s not really fully in either camp.

[@StockMalthiel]

By the way... "who the F does Kramnik he is" (extracted from Hikaru's madness, disrespect, and inmature behavior against alireza, against everyone in the chess comunity i would say)

[@polychad]

How does Hikaru deal with the fact that if his uncovered wife were back in Iran, she would be assaulted and imprisoned? I think chess players need to start applying their morals to more than just Russia. 1/3 of murders in Iran are honour killings against women.

[@witheringhs7766]

"I played very poorly"... yeah because you were afraid to cheat immediately after being accused.
