Kramnik, Hikaru, Danya: CRAZIEST LOVE TRIANGLE IN CHESS!!!

[@MustreaderChess]

Hi Hikaru, it's Greg Mustreader. I'm glad you liked my recap of the debate. Looking forward to having you as guest on my podcast some time in future! Guys in the comments - if you want to help make it happen, please like this comment for visibility!

Hikaru wonders why this Mustreader wants to play both sides, cuz he is no better than Kramnik in his logical reasoning and nitpicking when it comes to accusing someone of cheating if you look at his "IS HANS STILL CHEATING???" (all caps) video.

[@MustreaderChess]

[@acierinoxydable6287]

At one point in the podcast, Kramnik dropped this weird take that the biggest issue with the chess community today is that everyone’s too close, too united, and afraid to speak their mind for fear of offending each other. Like, seriously? As if unity is some kind of problem for this sport, or as if the chess world isn’t already packed with people talking behind each other’s backs.

[@ataciroglu]

Basic math why Kramnik can't pick a move and claim to expose cheaters in chess. Danny has ~200k games played. Let's say on average each game takes 50 moves and 20 moves are opening theory. This leaves 30 moves that can be questioned as a "non-human looking" move per game and 6 million moves total from all of Danny's games. I am surprised he could only find one... Obviously this CANNOT be used to expose cheaters.

[@lollycopter]

Lately with my online chess, I've been experimenting with a mindset shift whenever I feel that my position is slipping away. I would ask myself "what would Stockfish recommend?" (*without* using Stockfish), and pretend I'm doing a game review where there is one move to save the game. This type of shift allows me to drastically cut down the amount of fear I have with an ugly position. Anyone who does enough game reviews will find that there are plenty of bad positions that can still be saved with precise play. There would be no way that I would have learned such moves without learning from Stockfish with each review. Additionally in blitz, there are moves that will confuse the opponent - basically following Finegold's basic rules including "always play bishop c8" and "always retreat". Quite often, they're not the best moves, but against humans, they're good. I find it absolutely incredible that someone like Kramnik doesn't know that basic rule like I do. It just goes to show how stuck in his old ways he is and hasn't been able to learn anything new since retirement.

If you can easily use an engine while a game is going on with all those glances then he can also use it to get to 3200 while playing a 2900 opponent and even against Kramnik since everyone views his take as ridiculous..

Narcissism is a hell of a drug

[@skiller20]

Hikaru genuinely hates Kramnik guts.

[@eddyg1794]

I think the next time Hikaru sees Kramnik in person ...if Kramnik is still trying to convince everyone the Hikaru is cheating...Mr. Kramnik prepare to get bronx cheered...look it up if you're confused.

Wth is that title 😭

*Hey @GMHikaru* I think you can hold the spacebar to 2x through sections. Easier to control exactly where to listen at normal speed.

I am 2200 ex 2400 rating. It is clear that white's strategy is aimed at black squares. Which ultimately triumphed. So the bishop had to be saved at all costs. The first idea is c1. Thanks Hikaru for the brilliant analysis of the game.😎

Danya has more integrity than most humans. F Kramnik, he’s gone insane.

[@doctornkz]

Now it's totally clear that any blood mess in chess world is always because Hikaru. Crazy stuff. 8)))

[@SpecialAgentBillMaxwell]

It's ridiculous. Danya doesn't need to cheat against anyone, much less an 1100 rated guy. The argument is pointless.

[@romanvercier3556]

« You see here Danya you used the engine against a 1100 when you had a queen and a knight up. You said you didn’t cheat but you have the engine. Let’s do the procedure » Kramnik

[@0_oMost_delightful]

You know, Kramnik's "accused or not accused" it's like a meme even in russian chess community. Who saying this means that Kramnik accused ofcourse.))

Kramnik pivots more than any politician
