Vlad The Implyer.
"I'm not accusing" Yes you are. That's the whole point of this trilogy.
Kramnik needs to do better before we upgrade him to 'Broken clock'
nice
The whole "im not accusing" is what annoys me the most. It just straight cowardice.
yeah, I used to laugh but kramnik is not funny to me anymore
I wont watch related content to him anymore
A broken clock is right twice a day. This dude hasn't been right once.
@@tomhathaway2556 "I'm not making accusations, I'm just asking questions. Here you can clearly see the engine, yes?"
“I’m not accusing” is a grossly dishonest thing for Kramnik to say at the end of this video.
Ever thought he is accusing him for a reason? Daniel is clearly cheating, and it's a shame, I used to like that guy.
@@wooshbait36 lol and your proof is?
Hours of speculative videos is clearly accusatory. Quite funny and childish
@@Hanabis924 Bc8
Yo, Naroditsky really said "It's big brain time" and hit us with that Bc8 move??💀
Nah fam, that's sus af, no cap! Mans out here playing 5D chess while we still figuring out how the horsey moves, fr fr! !
That Bc8 move got more calculations than my TI-84 during finals week, sheesh!
Buddy really thought we wouldn't notice him going full Stockfish mode??
Chess website bout to ratio this man harder than En Passant catches newbies!
I honestly hate that one of the greatest online chess teacher, that goes over all his thinking processes and gives tips, is getting hate from a chess player passed his prime because Kramnik can't beat Danya in blitz, the one thing he's best in. And the hate can ruin his reputation, who would want to learn from a cheater in chess? This feels like targeting his channel and trying to ruin it.
He beaten Jospem in clash of claims 2 and he can't beat Narodisky?!? Are you fucking serious? Are you a clown?
🤡🤡
I honestly think Danya is safe in that regard. He is already a well established big name in chess, did tons of commentary and also played strong in tournaments like speed and bullet chess championship. The chess world knows about Danyas integrity and wont suddenly turn on him, rather ridicule Kramnik for the attempt. Its much more severe if he accuses unknown young players that do not have tons of supporters to defend them....Kramnik at this point does more harm to the chess world than all cheaters combined.
n1 so just hate him. Thats fine. But in part 1 of the Kramnik investigation u see, that Danya didnt play any serious blitz otb tournaments. He just farmed for over 1 year with a "rating glitch" in the Fide system, where u still get rating, while only playing against absolutely amateur players. His point is: We dont know, how strong Danya actually plays, because he refuses to play against strong players otb.
Getting hate from one of the greatest chess players of all time... not just a "chess player passed his prime"...
@@TheChessTheoretician yeah, but that the Nakamura and gotham propaganda for 1000 elo players
"I'm not accusing, just asking questions" or "Clearly there is engine there" which is it Kramnik
the first and the second statement ended with a question mark
the best part of the whole thing is that in the game danya ended up playing H6.kramniks entire analysis and "accusation" was based on an idle comment about a possible move he didnt even play
Kramnik is using that comment to imply that Danya is checking an engine always not that he always plays engine moves. His point is no chance Danya could find that move so quickly, and even if the engine suggest it as 1st or 2nd move it doesn't mean he is auto playing all engine moves. It's stupid, and Kramnik is an irresposible asshole, but the idea that he didn't play Bc8 doesn't really combat what Kramnik's stupid, salty accusation is.
They're trying to smear Kramnik.
@@bpusef But the irony is, Bc8 was 2nd best move. Danya played the engine's top move, and Kramnik didn't find that move to be bothersome in the slightest. It was the 2nd best move that Danya didn't even make which set Kramnik off.
@@theKashConnoisseurbecause Bc8 is less natural to a human than the top move. This isn't uncommon
@@theKashConnoisseur Bc8 is not even that like a 4000 elo move lol. It's just a normal retreating move, i'd understand if there's a lot to calculate but there's almost none aside from H6 and Nf6 which he played H6 that game and if you continue the vid, he lost his +2 advantage because he blundered but somehow Kramnik didnt show it for some reason. LMAOOOOOO he only showed few parts of the vid which makes him so obvious that he is cherry-picking to make danya looks bad and suspicious. The crazy part is if you watch his stream, he barely gets a huge advantage in middle game and he is only good always at time scramble which makes them good blitz player like hikaru, alireza, and some other 3100+ rated players. which is btw very counter-intuitive to what they accused him of because I think when you cheat you normally get a good position in the middle game but danya always having a tough position and always win when he got 20 seconds below which I think if he is looking at the engine, he will probably lose on time LMAO.
An ethics complaint should be filed against Kramnik with FIDE.
Why? Do you mean he's behaving unethically?
@@Marc-Tu Accusing semi-random people of cheating with no serious evidence is at least ethically dubious. When it comes to such important matters you should be responsible with what you believe (though obviously an ethics board shouldn't go after people for thought crime) and certainly with what you publicly state. People at best have to deal with internet assholes sicced on them through these accusations and at worst it could have serious ramifications for their career. When you do that to people you'd better be right, or at least had some reasonable grounds for doubts. This kind of stuff is why slander laws exist.
That said, I don't know what FIDE can do about it exactly, or if a defamation case would actually go anywhere (where would it even be held?). Those are questions for a lawyer.
@@Evilanious
Magnus: I lost to Hans, therefore Hans cheated. That's all the proof I can provide to you all
CC streamers and community: OMG hans cheated!! He used beads, he used sex toys, he is the devil reincarnated. let's destroy him!!
.......
Kramnik: Hey, I find this extremely suspicious. I'm gonna show you some videos where I find things suspicious and I want to know if he can explain these things
CC streamers and community: OMG Kramnik is a lunatic, he has mental issues. He shouldn't be taken seriously. He's Russian. He's not trustworthy. My fav streamer could never hurt a fly
🤡
Agreed. He'a inciting online hate and suspicion against not just any players but also youth players too. Imo, that is seriously not okay, and deeply irresponsible.
Hey look everyone, a talking clown!
@rebelofthegrains
You are extremely generous with your time towards this man.
He's getting good views though lol
I wouldn’t watch Kramnik ramble on his own (how many times is he gonna reiterate that nonsense about eye movements), but getting Eric eating, drinking and calmly giving rational explanations is peak comedy.
He doesn't want the smoke is why.
You’re looking at it wrong. He’s being generous with his time toward Danya.
drama gets clicks which gets money
It should be noted that Kramnik is moderating the comments under his video. He deletes any comments that contradict his opinion, especially those mentioning his 2006 match with Topalov. Quite the truth-seeker.
Funny how Kramnik is open to any questions, as long as they don't involve Toiletgate.
yes i wrote mean comments there adressing him personally and making fun of him and he always deleted them, i like to think he read them all
The year is 2031 - Former World Champion GM Vladimir Kramink carefully eats a fly off the window sill of his padded room, quietly muttering lost lines from his youth.
Your not even funny
@@gungagalunga9040 and you’re racist
@@Truffle_Pup your belief is not a race!
@@gungagalunga9040 and you’re homophobic
@@gungagalunga9040 my race is not a belief!
In one of his videos Kramnik said, “I have never lied in my whole life” LOL
It was irony. Watch again. He was trying to say that everybody can say anything, it does not mean it is true...
@@henripanjo I don’t think it was
2:08 No. He is not the world champion. He is not even remotely close to being a world champion today. His ego can’t accept that fact, and so we are here listening to a once respected player ruin his legacy while he attempts to ruin the legacy of others.
I wonder, is a person who steals a thief no matter the situation to you? I wonder if you keep this same energy 24/7 or if you might empathize with someone who is clearly suffering from mental illness. Again, Eric said it, "if he's just a chess player then who are you?" Eric wouldn't watch this video if it was CodySteins7255. I think it's interesting, I agree that this is a not-so-thinly-veiled accusation, but I think we have to acknowledge what mental illness can do to chess players. We've seen Bobby Fischer, the recent assault and battery in St. Louis, and I think Vlad is on a long slide down.
"For me Bc8 is enough. I don't need any more proof". Crazy statement to make about a candidate move that wasn't even played.
I must have the missed the part where Kramnik analyzes games that exemplify sportsmanship on his channel.
Chess’ two most prestigious prizes: the Hikaru Nakumura Sportsmanship award, and the Kramnik Fair Play award.
"I'm not accusing"
literally spews accusations all the time
Kramnik is a good example to explain of why chess abilities doesn't enforce one to have also an intelligence ability.
Someone needs to send him footage of himself looking around while thinking.
"you don't understand, that's different!"
The duplicity of kramnik:
1. I'm just a simple guy from a village with little formal education
2. TheSe AbsoluTe True StaTistiCs
The guy is a sociopath. Acts charismatic and calm around you, but says and does the complete opposite. I don't trust him and his friends one bit.
Someone should point out the million times he has to run and let his daughter in from school while in complex situations during chess games. hahah
Sociopath is frightingly accurate here. He says "oh i am not accusing, i am just showing 'facts'"
While he has 3 videos openly accusing Danya of CHEATING, of USING an engine WHILE playing TT / tournament with money prize.
This can totally ruin someones career, only reason its not is because Danya is well loved in the chess community - while Kramnik is frankly despised.
@@TheFenrirulfr Yeah, just straight up disingenuous. He's at best an extreme narracist, which I believe he is.
@@ItIsYouAreNotYour Yeah I don't believe a sociopath would enjoy a life full of chess, even with the gratification associated with being a world champion. Thriving as a top chess player just doesn't fit the profile of a sociopath. Other personality disorders like narcissistic pd or paranoid pd, sure (not saying Mr Salty Grandpa has any of this of course, diagnosing someone on the Internet is ridiculous)
I find i funny that Kramnik says that he has a lot of material, enough to make a 4 part series and it is basically just a couple handpicked good Danya games where he nitpicks every little twitch Naro makes. Oh my, he looks somewhere else, almost as if he was calculating and when he is done he looks back and plays a move based on what he calculated. This behaviour is absurd, a human person should not behave in such a childish way.
Kramnik in 2006: gets accused of Toilet Stockfish.
Kramnik in 2024: accuses Danya of Wall Stockfish.
26:55 Either Danya, Kramnik, or Eric farted. I suspect Eric because he tried to talk over it.
The real drama
He's made a part 5 now. His comment section is an echo chamber. They're looking at old videos of him using an engine for theory and comparing his eye level etc.
Echo chamber...kind of like this comment section. Lmao pot meet kettle
@@theworldofwoo8320 90% of the community thinks Kramnik is crazy. You can check the comments beyond this video, and you will notice (even in Kramnik's channel).
Eric is gonna become a react andy if this keeps going
@@theworldofwoo8320 It's so weird how some of these chess players are just average influencers at this point. The amount of times I've been reading that Danya is so nice, so Kramnik must have no point is so weird. Disagree with Kramnik, but argue against him instead of becoming a stan. These videos are 10x times better compared to what Kramnik dropped in the past, since you can follow his thoughts (and still disagree) vs. just dropping random names or stats.
It's an echo chamber because he deletes comments that don't go with his thesis
Aman: 100 tips that only a grandmaster knows
Eric: 100 reactions to Kramnik's Danya investigations
I don't know why but Kramnik gives me the whole : "Look he kill me with a stun" vibe. Totally different scenario's but both crack me up man
Suddenly the ''stockfish Nakamura's ceiling/wall'' joke is becoming a reality (delusion) for this man...Now he is ''witch hunting'' every one....wow.
Can we please talk about the absolute disaster that is Kramnik's desktop? WTF is going on there? How does he find anything?
Yo, Naroditsky really said "It's big brain time" and hit us with that Bc8 move??💀

@@nicholasintrepidity5073 Doin tricks on it.
@@nicholasintrepidity5073 Nah man, we've seen them play each other on computers in a live setting, with arbiters and all the rest. Kramnik simply isn't as strong on the keys as he is OTB, which makes sense considering his age and how he learned to play chess. The irony is, when it's the opposite for the younger tech-savvy generation, he calls it "interesting" and "suspicious".
We really need eric to beat kramnik and finish top of tilted Tuesday while looking around so we get the 50k challenge his way😂
honestly this sounds more like roasting danya for his bad chess than accusing him of cheating
Based on Danya's eye movements i can confidently state that he has stockfish running on at least 5 screens, all around him:
One right of his main screen, one above his main screen, one between his legs, one in the tree outside his window and one on the ceiling.
How could he possibly have one outside his window!! He specifically said no one could climb the tree. I think the fifth stockfish is probably installed inside his eyeballs
The argument is, "A very good blitz player is finding difficult moves quickly and is playing too fast to give detailed commentary on why he's playing them."?
What a joke.
And when he misses a good move: clearly evidence that he must have been using an engine to find the good moves!

He was playing Wesley So. Of course he will act differently than playing some random 2300 FM
For us who came late to chess it's hard to understand how much credit people give to this crazy old man throwing random accusations. It's a new target every week.
Kramnik just posted a video where Daniel uses an engine to analyze a game during the game, in the same spot where he always looks when Kramnik claims he's cheating. That's the one to react to (not that Daniel is actually a cheater, that idea is preposterous, he has zero signs of it compared to other players who we know did cheat).
Yeah Danya has to respond to that one now. He did highlight this in his comments in that video and explained himself, but this gives Kramnik very good ammunition. He has to put in a 2nd camera now for all his TT games.
@@DarkSideChess it won't make any difference. the idea that kramnik could be convinced of anything besides he's cheating is nonsense. he's already made up his mind. and the game in question was during one of his speedruns that he does not tt. nothing daniel does will get any of this to go away quite frankly outside of if he just quits chess all together.
@@JB-uw8ir Its true that's its a meaningless speedrun game, but the ease with which he can turn on the engine at any moment is enough of a problem, that understandably can call into question any other game, including TT.
@@DarkSideChess i mean......everyone can turn on an engine at any moment. i can do it, you can do it, el magneto can do it. it was dumb of daniel to do so in that moment and he said as much. but once again this isn't exactly proof of anything and kramnik and his posse don't care anyway.
@@JB-uw8ir If Danya turns on a 2nd camera and continues to perform online at a 3100 - 3200 level, then Kramnik will have to do some complicated mental gymnastics to accuse him ever again. But as of now this video gives him some great ammunition to question Danya's level.
Now you have to react to Danya's videos also. Also Kramnik saying "I'm not accusing" when he says "it's clearly engine he's looking at"
Kramnik went from doing the procedure when people beat him to now releasing hours of video trying to expose them as cheaters. Bro really went nuts
Kramnik next investigation: how can Andrew Tan read and answer chats while playing hyperbullet.
hikaru is not a easy target so he decided to target daniel
I've got to admit it's kind of wholesome that Kramnik has links to charity donation pages and a chakra test as his non-chess bookmarks.
Kramnik dementia phase and im in for it. checking for signs in my parents as well. stay safe guys
So crazy to hear this after literally days Danya comments on ICC and in fact is among the best commentators if not the best😅
28:25 Kramnik paid 500 dollars for houdini, I assumed because he tried to create a 3d scene to simulate where danya is looking, but it seems he gave up, he could use some ai tools to import danya's webcam into 3d space. This proves he is not doing this for content but because he actually believes he's a cheater.
I came for here for two reasons, hash browns and Eric’s nuts, and I’m all out of hash browns.
Lmfao
“No one is a priori innocent.” is an unhinged credo, tbh.
I think he means “should be possible to scrutinize anyone”, which itself is reasonable.
Albeit, he reckoned Hikaru’s 100-win streak against a master was suspicious… so when Kramnik invokes “can inspect anyone”, it’s a cover to allow him to accuse anyone.
His videos really aren’t careful/reasonable enough for him to be as vocal as he is.
Kramnik is such a coward. He says he's not accusing Danya (of using an engine) but constantly refers to 'what is Danya looking at?' Doesn't have the balls to say what he really means, which isn't that surprising considering his accusations are completely baseless.
Kramnik is a coward and a bully and it's time he was held accountable by FIDE.
Any accusation by Kramnik is just lol at this point
It's entertaining and the dude is unintentially hilarious. He's the Borat of the chess world. Vewvee niiiice.
Just watch one more video bro, Kramnik has him this time! One more short bro, Danya got caught red handed. One more example, it’s obvious Danya is cheating. Watch part 8 bro, all Danya’s defenders are just fanboys.
Kramnik losing online has nothing to do with his chess ability. He knows this, which is why he thinks everyone is cheating. But the main reason why he loses heaps online is because he's useless with a computer. This is straight factual. Dude needs to put his money where his mouth is and enter OTB tournaments. Until I see him get results there to give him modern day credibility then he can just stfu.Yes, he is an old school legend, but he has absolutely no modern day credibility.
come on, it wasn't that long ago. And he has pulled out some impressive stuff very recently, look at the game against Aronian in 2018 as just one example (with black, I think he also won with white).
As a person teaching at university also during covid, it was already a nightmare having students setup cameras during exams to ensure no cheating happens. Imagine having to observe hundreds if not thousands of chess players during title tuesday and have them setup multiple cameras all the time....its unfeasible if you think about it for 2 minutes Vlad...
At a certain point someone will put a stop to Kramnik's accusation streak. I just wanna see that day to see Kramnik's reaction.
Will be dishonest not to analize the last short video on Kramniks channel
Lol, chill. This video is edited out from a stream he recorded the day Kramnik’s video was published.
I bet Eric will keep recording this reaction/drama content so long as it’s getting views.
so iconic how hes casually eating chips while watching kramnik as if hes in fookin cinema XD
Kramnik’s non-stop speaking at 1.5x speed is a surprising hack for my insomnia
In part 4 there is a scene with Danya, where i really was like "wtf is going on". I wont spoil and i am, courios, what u will have to say about it. :)
Is he assuming Danya only has 1 monitor?
Kramnik: how does he have time to say moves?
Also Kramnik: why doesn't he describe in full detail why he makes these moves?
I am not saying that Kramnik, backed, by tbe FSB, is doing this to destabalise the chess community but it's an interesting take I've heard from some people.
Who knows?
It would be fantastic if Kramnik could prove that he isn't being funded his 50k by those interests with ulterior motives.
Also, he’s mostly going after chesscom players/Westerners. He has yet to go after a Russian or eastern block player.
Why would you make a 5-part eye-tracking saga about (any) guy with headphones? Like you don't even have to be a real software engineer to make a tool feeding lines from Stockfish into any text-to-speech and pronouncing that to you
apriori everyone is innocent because it's insanely difficult to prove a negative just on principal...what is kramnik talking about? prove to me you have never cheated on your spouse. it's impossible to do which is why the burden of proof is on the person making the cheating accusation.
i hate when kramnik says, "im just asking questions and since I wouldn't mind being asked them it's okay for me to ask". It's totally irresponsible and inappropriate to make these implications without sufficient proof. I don't care if someone asks me my age and weight, but it's totally inappropriate for me to ask someone else....and with this he's actually convincing ignorant people that danya is cheating....fortunately it's not a lot of people...but it is having an effect. kramnik is tanking his reputation and credibility beyond repair with this one.
11:44 Now I understand the thumbnail.
Part 3 summary - Kramnik complains 100 times more about Daniel looking around.
kramnik looks like he fights imaginary people in his room
The funny thing is: Danya never played Bc8, he mentioned he thought about the move but he did play h6. This is... the man lost is marbles.
I certainly did not expect that Kramnik is one of the most annoying human beings on the planet. Such a disgrace, people like him can literally drag you down to their level and ruin you just by smashing their bullshit arguments over and over. Deserves 0 attention
I was interested in this react series, but he is already at episode 6 and we're probably going to get 40 or so...
To understand Kramnik's reasoning you have to also know Kramnik has irrefutable evidence Daniel was looking at an Engine during unrated games. Kramnik provides proof in his most recent video "CHESSCOM OR CHEATCOM?" Where Vlad shows Daniel looking at an engine and saying he is consulting an engine. Daniel literally states during a game: "wow...I'm looking at the engine and ...". So now Kramnik has been scouring Daniel's VLogs for and tells during rated games such as TT games. And he's tracking Daniel's eye movements because in a separate video rebuttal (which Kramnik reviews), Daniel showed his streaming setup which gave Kramnik enough information to determine where Daniels eyes should be looking and where they are staringa t the wall above and behind his monitor. Putting it all together Kramnik is speculating Daniel has another monitor on his wall with an engine running.
Me watching eric on 1.25x watch kramnik on 1.5x watch danya on 0.25x 🎳
what are your tryin' to say with this 0,46875? )
Kramnik: don't play victim, nobody's accusing, just asking
Also Kramnik: you can clearly see the engine is here...
KRAMNIK IS NAUSEATING
I am amazed how "chess players" somehow think that naroditsky is beyond suspicion, the question is simple what does he glances at? I find really surprising that he just looks around while calculating when it is pretty clear that he is glancing at something
This Kramnik guy reminds me of Fischer. He's clearly mentally ill.
no way, Bc8 it is to much
The world of high level chess has sunk into a world of paranoia, delusions and mis-trust. Kramnik isnt always right of course, but hes not always wrong.
Yeah, accuse 1000 players, and if one is really cheating, then he is right.
We don't need Kramnik "analytic skills" for this, this is basic logic.
A broken clock is right twice a day man
@@spyroninja once before kramnik starts talking and once after he finishes
Kramnik is an old dude who cant believe these kids are beating him now that he's no longer world champion. He should get a girlfriend.
for the looking up vlad needs to look back further too see if danya started doing it online at some point. i think maybe it would be a bit more suss if he wasn't looking up at one point, but then started doing it consistently.
I used to like this man a lot. It is a shame that he is shredding his own reputation in this pointless way.
there is some more gold on kramniks channel, cant wait for reactions
Bc8 move is strange but one cannot accuse other based on that sole move, it can be a chance that danya seen that move,just make sure these high level streamers are carrying two cams for the good of the game.Kramnik should just stop accusing any and every player because it loses credibility if he kept yapping about every single thing.
It was a sick move. It's a shame that Eric tries to cover it. I wait him watching mext two videos. Maybe he could believe Danya cheated only by watching it real time from his back lol. No matter how much strong were arguments, Eric just laughs.
Honestly, Kramnik is probably the most annoying yapper I have ever seen by far. People who get stuck in an endless loop of arguments are just hopeless and should be avoided at all costs. He has 0 valid arguments and yet we are still here listening to his bullshit. Infuriating
32:42 "never proved it OTB" danya's greatest achievement is beating fabiano in classical format.
after magnus, many consider fabi to be THE BEST classical player ib the world.
is kramnik gonna go after fabi next? saying they fixed the result or sth? LMAO
He still got a place near bottom in that tournament.
SOVIET SCHOOL of telling the 'truth'. Full display.
I think we should stop calling former world champions by that title. Instead, we should begin saying, for example, "2022 World Champion Ding Liren", or "5-time World Champion Magnus Carlsen" and so on, even if they retire from chess.
We can continue calling this guy "Former World Champion Vladimir Kramnik" though.
Someone need to ask Kramnik, what is the reason why there are different World Championship categories for time control. Simple question with perhaps not pleasant answer to his paranoya.
Kramnik should be making the point that Danya and Hikaru are not the best explainers when they are focused more than anything else, which is true to some extent. But why isn't he analyzing his own press conference with Ding in 2018.
Is there any procedure how I can get rid of kramnik?
The finale didn't live up to the hype of the sequel huh
tbh I think we are at a point in time where editors have the responsibility to teach youtubers how to use a mic
Just sick of Kramnik's bullshit
i just dont bother having my bookmarks bar to be visible, its futile even though there's things on it
I was looking at Bishop C8 about 6 moves before this position. It’s a great improving move. Kramnik has lost the plot completely if this is his evidence
He's doing a 4-part series on Naroditsky's habit of looking away from his monitor? Seriously? What about repeatedly running from the game to the toilet, Vlad? I have questions.....
30:00 Staged English telegram discussion. Cc8 is in russian Bc8, so they talked before and then staged English dialogue lol
They tried to write at english so that would be comfortable to watch for english speakers.
Isn't it more accurate for him to say 'I am the _former_ world champion' instead of this delusional thing he's actually saying though?? :D Also, don't get me wrong. He's a great player even now. But I don't think he's quite in the same league as Nakamura or Naroditsky.
Danya played h6. He just mentioned Bc8 as a move.
Bro, you moving too slow. Kramnik is on post 5. Let's pick up the pace!
I don't even get his point about Danya only mentioning single moves instead of lines. Is he arguing that Danya is too weak to ever calculate more than one move ahead? Or that he just says the one engine move out loud and is incapable of thinking of associated ideas? If he was reading moves off the screen, surely he could just as easily read out slightly longer lines
This type of crap somewhat started when Magnus baselessly accused Hans of cheating, that stupid "debate" is still going, and I think it harms chess. Now you have obviously mental Kramnik doing it against Naroditsky, and Eric is already on his third video. These are self inflicted wounds on our fine game.
Kramnik would be very good as a commentator, because he knows his stuff and feels very emotional when he talks. Instead, he makes accusations and is also very emotional about it.
He acts here as a bit of a critic and a bit of a wise mentor, and he is more emotionally aroused than Danya.
Kramnik's behavior says: respect me. Remember me.
you know the rules, if you see an unwra add in a kramnik vid you have to donate to it.
Part 3??? The fuck
First of all, Danya is not among the best in blitz. He is among the highest rated in specifically 3 | 0 games. His performance in titled tuesday’s is usually weaker, because one of his main skills, besides calculation and aggressive play, is mouse speed.
Second, there is a guy with username penguin. He is a 2500 rated GM who was, at some point, the best bullet player in the world. So comparing classical OTB strength with online chess is completely illogical. Mr Kramnik should not be allowed to play on this platform anymore. Any further accusations should be ignored.
on 2nd camera point, I remember some older video of Hikaru saying something about him pushing for 2nd camera, but it not being accepted as requirement (I think he was pushing for 2 cameras being streamed), so he stopped streaming 2nd camera. but I remember it vaguely, it was few years ago. Personally I dont get whats the point in this attack on Danya, Kramnik picked very bad target, if Magnus recognizes Danya as strong blitz player for years, I see it as much better judge as Kramnik, since Magnus actually proven he is also top in online blitz, unlike Kramnik, who is strong, but gets beaten by guys who are weaker in classsic but stronger in online (since you need different set of skills).
