Build your own website. Lets see
30:20 - 30:35 How is it possible? It is the easiest thing in the world to explain by so many different things. Variance, Psycholog.. The fact he asks this question in a serious manner has me thinking he is almost as dense as Kramnik. Kramnik isnt an online grinder - he isnt as bothered when playing with a different set up. Who knows what the difference is for them playing iRL (they played iRL online too.. it is 100% different) ect.. Like Im not even waiting for how Dani Rensch to answers this.. but this proves nothing at all and whoever does not understand this.. is crazy.. to me
"His figures sound right"??? Only to those untrained in statistics. Know what you don't know.
thanks igor for the magic in the background!
Levitov is a fool - he uses a crystal ball to decide if someone is cheating.
Kramnik is a washed up chess player who has no understanding of statistics... Hikaru has challenged Kramnik to a $1M chess challenge. Has Kramnik accepted, or is he scared?
Lenitov shows his stupidity... 'These f++king mathematicians, I don't care about them'. This is a pointless conversation with someone who doesn't understand high level math. Lenitov needs to stick to chess.
What Kremnik does is ridiculous and I don't understand why people even pay attention to what he says. It is simple, If you accuse 100 people being thiefs and one of them turns out to be thief, at that point, you were NOT right, you were 99% wrong. It's confirmation bias at its best, counting hits and ignoring SEA of misses. Just wake up...
Who even is this Levitov guy? I tried to look up his past and he has none on Google indexed pages. Anyway, it's funny that he actually said that he trusts feeling more than statistics!
"Strong feelings are almost always right" , yikes buddy
Kramnik entered a tournament, he lost his first game and immediately complained “he’s definitely cheating!” The arbiter said “Vladimir, it's a simul and you were playing yourself!” Kramnik narrowed his eyes and muttered, “Even I don’t trust me these days…”
3+2, 3+1 and 3+0 are all completely different time controls. Kramnik would not do as well if he faces Josem with the same time controls as TT. Kramnik needs to be sanctioned by FIDE or sued.
I was surprised to see Caruana clearly state that he also thinks the game is full of cheaters especially during Titled Tuesdays. And his colleagues he says agree. That means the current measures are not enough.
Everything I've ever heard Danny say about cheat detection makes perfect, logical sense to me. MOST of the time, Kramnik sounds like someone who is just FED UP; The PROBLEM with Kramnik is that exactly ZERO objective truth can be a guaranteed byproduct of this overflowing emotional wellspring.
True
Danny, this is an awesome interview that exposes your insight into the commercial viability of Chess and how much you care about developing something consumable, marketable and enjoyable for the public. I'm not sure there are many people thinking about this as much as you are. It sounds like you have found your calling. Keep up the good work!
Please talk English. I don't understand any of this weird language!
Feeling better that stat lool. This guys is so bias for krammik
Levitov talks about how Jospem didn't dominate the match against Kramnik the way he had done on line but he seems to forget that those on line games were 3+1 and Kramnik demanded that the match would have only 3+2 games. This 1 extra second increment makes a difference, especially when the players have little time left. Kramnik can't even make premoves, for crying out loud. There was a 10+0 rapid game against Keymer in which Kramnik got flagged because of it. He had more time on the clock and still lost!
That brown chair behind Danny looks REALLY COMFORTABLE! 🤓
Where does he keep looking? Kramnik please check. Your advice is needed.
Danny Rensch best man
Kramnik is just an internet bully.
Internet boomer*
The thing was that .. 1) i do think that he was bullied by all over the world and rumored about using beads 2)yes that was initiated by magnus with that tweet but i still do think that he didnt accused him of cheating directly he was suspicious though nd withdrew bcoz of his history of cheating Further lawsuit made hans even more reputed as 😂 3) hikaru as always acts like a child and does anything for content 4) not getting invutations isnt only hans problem even other gms like arjun werent recieving invitations 5) hans is completely delusional and a hypocrite even supporting another delusional kramnik😂
47:30 Statistics are never wrong because statistics don't claim anything. PEOPLE make claims based on statistical observations, but it has to go through some kind of reasoning, and this is the part where things can be "wrong". We aren't suggesting that Kramnik is providing wrong statistics, but rather that the way he uses these statistics to support his claims is deceptive because his reasoning is always biased and flawed.
Statistics= if I eat a whole chicken and you don't, then we had half a chicken each.
"I think it's not personal"... so that makes it not personal? This guy is biased.
Some chapters will help!
The feeling comment is kind of insane. What do you mean feelings are more important and believable?
Kramnik is right.Cheating online is a joke by now, let's try it over the board.
Kramnik is being very irresponsible. If it is a fide tournament then Kramnik should complain to them or whichever appropriate authority there is ,but doing detective work with eyeball movements and the like is just irresponsible. All of these allegations are followed by an invitation to play him - Why ? .He should start playing fide rated tournaments and then complain about cheating." to FIDE. I classify this as indirect bullying-If you beat me I will call you a cheater . If you don't play me -I will force you to play me otherwise you are a cheater. Alternatively he could devise an alternative rating system of his own named something like K-ELO 🤷
"I believe more in feelings than statistics"...... wow..... how can you live with yourself. i hope you stub your toe every day for the rest of your life.
57:07 did danny just say that he and robert hess were in the closet in 2018?
Levitov, prepare to be accused of cheating by kramnik after this interview. You looked to the sides pretty often. Danny even more so
Rensch needs to start with giving the real level of cheating....damn sight more than the 2% he claims in my opinion
You know what they say about opinions.....
2% over-performance in TT not cheating on the website, or among good player, amazing how people just dont listen...
Посмотрю в разборе Крамника 😃
1:16:00 a brainstorming meeting around this topic is a good idea
I feel Kramnik has crossed many ethical lines, with increasing seriousness, over the last year. It is reassuring in a small way to hear Danny’s overall opinion on this is so similar to my own. With Kramnik’s latest words toward Naroditsky, I believe an ethics complaint should be filed against him with FIDE.
Levitov: "I don't care about statistics".. um, well then I guess you have nothing interesting to say about cheating then.
This interview was incredible, BTW. Both sides open and honest, no BS. I encourage people to listen to the entire thing.
Ютуб, почему этого интервью нет в моих рекомендациях? Это что - заговор? Я звоню Владимиру..🎉
Danny (and almost every American) should learn how to talk with non Americans. He uses many idioms or figurative speech or plain slang. I'm pretty sure a lot of what he said got lost to ESL viewers and the host himself because of that. For example he kept on saying "getting eyeballs" and similar expressions with friggin' eyeballs. Can't you say people who watch something or read something? I think that the ability to communicate within an international context is crucial in his position and for the goals he wants to achieve.
Great interview! Danny is awesome and hope Kramnik will work in favor of chess instead of accusing everyone disrespectfully
Поставил кружку в кадр ради американца. Самим не стыдно? Какой же … 🙈
story about divisions.. so long the answer.. bulls_ _ t
officer puppet
If a player is 12 years old and beats Magnus 10-0, Daniel Rensch says ah this is a chess prodigy so his DNA is fast improving. If same performance beating Magnus 10-0 and player is 32years old Kramnik says must be cheat. Both are deluded and wrong to assume those things. Chess future performances can't be predicted. Historic results can be used to provide rankings but these are not predictions of future performances.
he can says that because he is not the free person but puppet officer of chesscom
No one has ever or will ever beat magnus 10-0 in rapid or blitz, maybe hyperbullet stuff like 15" or 30" chess. Just bad example.
How can you predict people's performances in chess? 😂
Based on hundreds or thousands of games they play. There is an expected deviation between games that is pretty much impossible to follow if cheating.
Interviewer is terrible. Kramnik is an old man upset he got worse at chess. Rensch is too considerate of this nonsense
you can in fact be worse in chess. or in tenis being way young also. no reason to be upset about this.
@@immanitodeplomo tell Vlad and his friend. I am not the one upset, spewing nonsense statistics, spreading silly fears
funny, he said Caps was a fun tool for KIDS!!! Danny as a chess player should have applied Dvoretsky's prophylactic thinking and predicted Kramnik's behavior
All the best for Danny. Honestly the task of guessing someone cheating is a little bit easier than taking decisions and say "look here the data that show this and this" based on 100 hundred of games
Kramnik prepared against Jospem for his offline match. He wasn't prepared in his online games. This alone should make a massive difference in score.
1000%
??? you can say the same abaout any players, but BOTH have the same time to prepare for this match. not only kramink
not only, playing OTB is VERY different from online chess, furthermore TT is 3+1. which Kramnik did not accept, playing with 3+2, and the face to face OTB was 5+2, and in spite of that Jospem won the first match. You can only understand the prior considerations if you played both online chess and OTB with a rating roughly equal or aboveabove 2000
It become very clear (at least in my opinion) the reason for his online dominance was the time control.. it was very obvious kramnik couldn't survive a single game when low on time...
Playing against someone you think is cheating versus playing that same player in a setting you think he is not ALONE would explain the differing results. Every single GM agrees that you play differently against someone you think is cheating.
