The chess industry and the world is really evolving in a bad direction, both for the reasons in this article and for many other reasons, I agree with this article almost to the end, because even if Kramnik really had the biggest share in Naroditsky's death, this does not change the fact that he is still an undisputed world champion.The cancellation of the title or any other demands related to it are clearly the work of uninformed and inconsiderate people who really know nothing about chess or life.Such stupid discussions or actions are really an obstacle to the development of both the chess world and people. People should definitely not jump into and comment on issues they do not know properly.

Good article, it's difficult to know how to react to such a tragic event, but rejecting all the fault to a single person is certainly not the best way to go.

The fact that a person dies and you're still accusing them is crazy. Like Vladimir bro chill out.

None of us know what Daniel has dealed with mentally, appart from Kramniks allegations. Holding Kramnik accountable as the only and absolute factor for the passing of Naroditsky is not being "dumb" as you state it. I think this is just a natural human thought process. We always seek for answers, and if there is no clear answer we will form one with the information we do have. When it comes to tragic situations like this, we feel morally obliged to enforce some sort of justice.

Correlation does not imply causation, however we can not ignore that Kramniks allegations have had an impact on those which he claims to be cheaters. These people have dedicated countless hours of their lives to the game of Chess, one simply couldn't do this without a burning passion and love for it. It is not just a confrontation about if you played fair, it is ones personal integrity being questioned publicly.

I am all for detecting and punishing cheaters, that being said, neither me, nor Kramnik, nor any single Individual hast the high ground to act as the chess police and the tasteless way in which Kramnik comments does not make it any better either. It's not for me to say if Kramnik is right or wrong, however, I think his Idea of being chess' Messias who will single handedly save this game from foul play shows a surpiriority complex, a lack of understanding and acceptance how justice and government systems work in a democratic society. That is the reason Vladimir should face consequences, not the specific case of Daniel Naroditsky, but his selfproclaimed policing of other professionals.

@db222 it is dumb or misinformed. In chess there's no government or justice, there are players and they need to take power in their hands. There are also companies like chess com that abuse their power.

There's no democracy in chess either. Voices of different players have different amount of weight. Now I am seeing that people who as I said never opened a book and have no respect for chess have way too much weight.

Kramnik's message was basically if you play way too well online you need to consistently show same over the board. He decided to tackle this problem because a lot of Titled players said that they play with 1-2 cheaters every titled tuesday. Including strong ones like Nepo or Fabiano. If people would treat justified suspicion with dignity nothing of that sort ever happened.

I don't see any Messiah complex, and you wouldn't if there wasn't this massive psyop online. He was always called the most wicked, evil individual. Portrayed as his words can incite suicide.

And most people who decided to go after him are either paid shills (chess com partners) or people who don't understand chess or cheating.

Also you can never hold someone accountable in a form of removing the title. What next? They remove title from Alekhine and Fischer retrospectively?
