I found GothamChess's Lichess account

Promoting? Read it again.

Making people double, triple, quadruple check themselves isn't conducive to a productive discussion, it is just plain reactionary off-the-cuff one-liners that put people on edge.

He said like that because he is a chess.com employee.

I've seen this sentiment stated dozens of times. Never with any evidence. I think it would be interesting to see the evidence. So I asked. Is it part of the chess.com contract? I don't think so. Is it unstated, but chess.com management uses veiled threats of cancellation to keep their streamers' behavior in line? I don't know. But that would be interesting. Is it baseless speculation by Lichess fanboys? I don't know. Maybe the streamers made it up themselves, out of fear of making Danny unhappy.

An observation. An assertion, not substantiated. Solicitation, but no counter-evidence provided. A question, without evidence of your own to add. More prevarication. Another question, no evidence. Speculation.

Lots of heat, not much light.

Maybe stick to what you know, playing chess - presumably.

You challenged me on my question. So I tried to explain it. How does counter-evidence enter in? Try reading what I said WITHOUT assuming I'm angry. Prevarication? Now that IS an attack. Take it back.

If I said the coin flip is either heads or tails, you would call that speculation and speculation. Crazy.

That's it for me. No more posts here. Talk about Levy without me.

I don't understand your gripe here, didn't mean to offend, and you add a lot of helpful info - just not in this case.

Has he said this? Are you just repeating what you see said by chess.com detractors?

There is a levy bot. That right there should be enough. His wikipedia page states he has been a streaming partner with them for many years. You can check who he follows. Lastly you can go to his linkedin..

(I am certain levy wrote that, which means he said it).

Drdrunckenstein can't be Magnus! (I dare say this seriously) I've played lots of bullet games against him and I even have a positive score. His level is far from the world champion. As I've known, DrNykterstein is the real Magnus, with a 3300+ rating on bullet.

Yes, his profile is @drnykterstein .Not Drunkenstein.
Sure it is! There's a huge gap between 2900 and 3300.
