Kramnik is sounding like me, “why can’t I just have an easy game?” “How can they put up such resistance”

[@Joshwaheazo]

Haha. I don't like easy games unless I'm like 20 points away from a barrier. Then I'm dying for a free win 🤭

[@cooloutac]

It's because when players drastically have higher performance ratings online compared to their OTB Blitz play it simply doesn't make any sense at all. Mouse movement and increments simply do not explain it because you could use all the top players as a barometer proving that wrong. Except for hikaru of course l.ao. And when people do not play like their ratings suggests and it happens so often it gives the perception that the ratings are so undermined they are completely meaningless.

If you have more than one account your a cheater with a fake rating too bud. I understand you follow these streamers smurfing for entertainment and think its no big deal. But it is. Its a huge deal and its why online gaming will never be respected by general society. Everyone cheats in some form or another online and its pretty disgusting. Its literally a cesspool and all kramnik is doing is saying what all mature adults with a sense pf sports already think. When ratings literally mean nothing online because players are all over the map regardless of what their rating it is, its frustrating. Especially suspicious at such a high level.

[@leroyj62]

@@Joshwaheazo reading is hard, try not to skip words

[@cooloutac]

more than half the people online cheat. When you see someones rating you expect a certain level of play and guys at Kramniks level can easily tell when its not. The fact is the mmr and ratings online in general, are completely meaningless. they literally mean nothing and it can become frustrating. A 1500 player might play like someone way under 1000 or way above 2000. There is no consistency and its obvious as to why. Because of guys like Aman cheating for a living by speedrunning, Which the website unprecedently and historically publicly condones, using multiple accounts is literally fashionable in online gaming communities. I might as well assume you have more than one account even though thats against TOS. You don't even have to answer its a rhetorical quesiton of course you do. Otherwise you wouldn't even make an ignorant comment like this. I literally don't know anyone who plays on a single account thats not titled, besides me. Online gaming will never be respected by general society. Maybe Aman is a fan of the WWE because thats all chess will be seen as, with the only difference being chess will be seen as a childs game. All Kramnik is saying publicly is what everyone who is an adult and not nuts has already been thinking for years.

[@GAOMaster]

@@cooloutac That's the stupidest thing I have read this month and I read a lot of youtube comments

[@vivvpprof]

Actually I'm impressed with Kramnik. He "quit" online chess for years, after he'd lose on time in winning positions. But man, he clicked slower than my grandpa back then. And now he's on a par with the best online players. Wow. Unironically impressive.

[@chesscomsupport8689]

According to Kramnik, it's suspicious when his opponent has 90%+ accuracy, even if Kramnik played badly. When his opponent has lower accuracy, it's still suspicious if the opponent only started to blunder later in the game. By those standards, when is the opponent not suspicious?

[@xekind]

When you're Kramnik, everyone is suspicious

[@sesanti]

IM Daniel Rensch explain the accuracy percentage is just there to give newbie players, who have no idea of chess as they are just learning to move the pieces, an overall measurement of how they did in the game. It was never designed for higher rated players to use, especially professional titled chess players, let alone GMs. That's why you see many 1000 elo games with 80, 90 percent accuracy. Are they secretly GMs stuck at 1000 elo? No. Kramnik probably missed the memo.

[@FearTheIndoorHorseRancher]

I can tell you accuracy doesn’t mean anything. Im like 800-900 atm and I’ve got a few 100% games in my account (very short obviously) and loads of games in the high 90s with 20-30+ moves. People are just way better than they used to be, people know much more theory and there’s way more people playing. At my level I often play people who know all the lines of their specific opening they use and can play quite regularly at like 1000 points above their ELO level, it’s just they collapse when someone deviates from what they know (myself included)

[@dessertstorm7476]

he's not saying they are cheating. but he will vehemently disagree with anyone who says they are not cheating

[@kristoferhailes4627]

If you’re not losing in the opening to Kram you’re cheating. Impossible that you have more knowledge of the theory and ideas of positions than the Champ!

[@ddenti99]

​@@JackMottsad thing is bro is only 48yo. Can you imagine the level of paranoia when he's like 70??

[@cooloutac]

Well he wouldn't be wrong. Cause Aman built his career on smurfing online for a living. I wouldn't put anything past him. "they get their rating points back" is the excuse for anonymously undermining the mmr and robbing unsuspecting players of an expected competitive match for views and ad money. Literally teaching kids to manipulate ratings and prioritize that over sportsmanship and competitiveness. You sound like a cheater. Which is probably half the playerbase. I bet you have more than one account even though that is against the TOS for what should be obvious reasons to someone mature and honest. Then again you are not getting any sports sense from watching these streamers. I also get frustrated at the fact ratings literally don't mean a damn thing online. Aman is breeding cheaters like you everytime he smurfs for "entertainment and education" ....RIP chess. How fake, dishonest and immature online gaming is, is probably a culture shock for Kramnik and he is embarrassed for even playing on the site.

[@RichACBlues]

@@JackMott Thats because us boomers know half the people online cheat. For example, a kid like you thinks there is nothing wrong with using more than one account undermining the mmr. But that makes you another cheater buddy. And Streamers like Aman smurfing for entertainment are part of the problem. That literally encourages the manipulation of ratings and prioritizing that over competitive matchups. When ratings literally mean nothing online because they don't correlate with any sort of consistent expected performance, especially at such a high level as Kramniks, its pretty sad and frustrating. This is all a culture shock to him.

During this game, Vlad was ranting on his stream about how fast the kids play today and "speculating" whether or not Aman was using a bot 😂😂 And this from someone who plays online speed chess rarely and was using the two click method with no premoves enabled (actually I'm impressed he was able to keep ahead of the increment during the scramble with zero mouse skills). He's totally lost it. It's a real shame, actually. Top 10 all time player reduced to this...

[@wesleykipp]

He's now also obsessed with CAPS and spent a lot of the stream trying to match the accuracy from any given online speed game to a classical FIDE rating 🤔, completely ignoring the fact that CAPS also depends on how well your opponent lets you play And saying that it's suspicious that a GM would play at "86 level" is clearly ridiculous.
