This title seems to imply Dubov supports Karjakins position when thats not the case at all and his position is logical and reasonable. I would consider rewording it if I was world chess

[@achimbahnen]

I must admit I had a similar expectation based on the title, but in the end I think the wording “looks odd” is pretty accurate. Dubov’s statement is balanced and clear at the same time.

[@moda8509]

It's a click bait .. u shouldn't believe the title

[@skaarphy5797]

They recently rephrased the title of a Bullet Chess Championship livestream so that it reflected who the two finalists were (one of them being Nakamura). But to be fair, they had to weigh a few dozen - maybe even one ot two hundred - more clicks from people who read Nakamura and jump on it against basically everybody else who didn't want the names to be spoilered. So, yeah, that's who they are, apparently.

[@sorrowoo]

No it doesn't lol

Dubov's opinion on the ban is way more balanced than the title wording.

[@MaFe168]

It would be easy to just say that the decision is right in an emotional point of view. But he's a smart guy with a way more rational view to the topic and I would say he's quite right. Ban Karjakin and the other fools like forever or dont at all. Like if anybody ever wants to play against Karjakin ever again. Not going to happen.

The issue is that what does chess have to do with geopolitics. The obvious answer is nothing. Chess players should just stick to chess.

[@yacub--channel--25]

Banning people just for their opinion is crazy. They are forcing everyone to think in one way

[@IZn0g0uDatAll]

« I personally think he is wrong […] If he is wrong it should have been luch more. If hevis right it should have been less. » Dubov is basically saying he got a slap on the wrist and got away with way too little.

[@arturgrodzicki1209]

[@plywoodcarjohnson5412]

The support of the Hospitalbomber is so weird that Karjakin can't be considered sane. So the ban should be longer, i agree. But EQ is not IQ. Bobby Fisher could also not be fixed. If anything Karjakin should spend a serious amount of effort to taking steps towards becoming sane. After all, caring for other people is a great feeling.

[@billderas3420]

At least as important as the FIDE decision on Karjakin would be to ban Kaspersky from tournament sponsorships. The US FCC has deemed Kaspersky's security software to be an "unacceptable national security threat" on political grounds. Previously, in 2017 and 2019, all US federal agencies were banned from using Kaspersky software due to past security issues. I also have noticed that the "Kaspersky" name has disappeared as a sponsor of Ferrari's Formula One cars this season.

[@truthseeker4874]

Don't forget to ban Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker" around Chri... or, excuse me, holiday season. I feel it's a serious threat to national security. I also would advise against studying the games of chess masters of Russian or Soviet origin, unless they publicly repudiate Putin's conduct, and please don't mention that some of them are long dead -- I don't care. I only care about social justice... and supporting the Azov Battalion, I guess.

[@konstantink7310]

The punishment should be to punish the complete chess community, as well as the complete Fide as a whole to free it from the American empire , a complete wash up. FREE MY DUDE karyakin. You guys are racists and gangsters. You ban people for being patriotic, the Russian and belarus flag is not on the app anymore , it’s gray , same thing in all sports, there isn’t even a national anthemn. trust me guys the punishment will be hard just wait and see.

[@2894031]

Under the “human” aspects he cites the fact that his political opinion differs from that of Karyakin (and the majority of the Russian people). Now that’s not “human”, that’s IRRELEVANT, in a free world different opinions can never be a basis for excluding a player from a tournament. Period. I find Dubov’s political position just disgusting but it would never occur to me to use that as a pretext to ban him from a competition. What he propagates here is a kind of totalitarian ideology where holding different political opinions is enough to ruin your life in all segments

[@dhirajpallin2572]

Huh it's the other way around. They sanctioned Karjakin for bringing "politics" into sports. Karjakin is using his sports celebrity position to advocate for the killing of Ukrainians. Imagine how tense that would make it when he shows up to a chess tournament that has Ukrainians in it?

[@e-rust]

@Dhiraj Pallin Did you read his tweets that got him banned? He did not say a word about the killing of Ukrainians. He welcomed the attempt to stop the killings of the inhabitants of Donbass, because his friends, acquaintances and relatives remained there. And this is understandable. During the recent conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan, Levon Aronian publicly called Azerbaijan a terrorist state in interview during a tournament and did not suffer any punishment for his words from FIDE. Azerbaijani grandmasters also spoke a lot in support of their homeland. I don't see what the fundamental difference is here. The rules should be the same for everyone. If it is forbidden, it must be clearly forbidden. If it is not, he is free to say anything until he is breaking a law.

[@zaqop4]

He is literally the only Russian player to have been sanctioned

[@ecyranot]

@@e-rust I'm not familiar with the other conflict, but it sounds like your point is good. I think the difference here is the assaultive nature of the conflict and the vast difference in military strength, and that is causing the emotional reaction we are seeing around the world. People are appalled by what has happened. Karjakin's statement is disgusting to many because of his denial of reality. I feel sorry for him not because of the punishment but because he seems to be living in an alternative reality. Is he ignorant of what is really happening? Is he self-deluded? Is he too frightened of the government to be honest? I suspect it's the first two rather than the latter.
