Maybe yes, maybe no. But don't you find it more than a little odd that Carlsen can lose his mind over a OTB loss to Hans Niemann on little more than a gut feeling & the prior online cheating and everyone goes "oh he's Magnus, he can't be wrong". And yet Kramnik freaks on the same gut feeling and he's the bad guy? You can't have it both ways

@@earlroberts9214 Magnus acted like a sore loser. He played poorly on the day (for his standard) and lost and then threw a fit. Pretty disgraceful. So dont think it was all people saying Magnus cant be wrong. Opinions were very divided. Kramnik is not following Carlsen, he's doing his own thing, he got old and became sore loser over the board as well, watch his armageddon lost with Abdusattorov. Carlsen plays online a lot and loses a lot. He doesnt go and report everyone who dare to beat him in a random online blitz game

This tweet in the beginning of the video is outrageous. “posing as chess player”, “denunciation”, “thank him.” and all while knowingly violating the rules. Man. Kramnik has really lost his mind.

Even my 650 ranking can see how Kramnik is his own worst enemy, losing tempo inch by inch when the clock is down. Retreating moves. Repeating moves. When his opponent plays aggressively he assumes it's cheating. No, Vlad, other people are just smart enough to learn from their mistakes. Put a fork in it.

And believe me, Sir, you wouldnt learn much from your 9,999 mistakes. You would lose the last game as well, just the same as the first one. P.S. Just to mention, Magnus said he played Caro-Kann defense about 100,000 times in his life. Fischer had 19 wins streak (both being black and white) against strongest grand masters.

To make his point, he would have to cheat by making just a few moves a game, at critical points, with an engine.

Love it Brilliant vid-back to top form

Kramnik chooses to give up his center pawn in exchange for activity, but if you fast forward, his forfeited d pawn is what allowed white to bring his knight into center and basically crushed black's position, forcing an exchange that left him at a deficit...which caused him to lose the game. Sure, its always possible someone had engine help somewhere along the way, but you also have to admit your own sub optimal moves that would allow any human opponent to easily exploit them.

3mo ban means nothing to him. He will just use someone else’s account.

Kramnik hanging on at this level is truly respectable but he shouldn't rely on his statistical intuition so profoundly if he underestimates the demographs -of a very large pool of very strong and very young players. 2800 is the new 3000, so to say. With emphasis on so to say. Kramnik may be losing from lower rated players because he simply doesn't relate to their age, who they are, what they do, how they study, how they're supported and many other factors. Kindly take it from an old guy.

He is right about the amount of cheaters online, maybe not about this specific case, I think that torneys with prizes should use some anticheater mecanisms, a program to catch all programs running in the computer, records the screen, and a webcam filming the room to assure there are not 3 persons playing against one. This is the very basic kit to assure a minimum of trust about the players in the torney. Easy to do, and will kill almost all cheating mechanisms used nowadays, not perfect, but this case will have a different conclusion. The simple fact is that, think that you could be playing with a cheater can make your mind blurry and leads you to a los.

i dont know how stupid people can be. This is a master who has defeated Kasparov in the past. Has played and won numerous tournaments. was among the few top GMs who broke into 2800s. was a former world number 1 and for fuk's sake knows chess better than anyone commenting in here. So if he feels he is cheated i can definitely only side with him. The other player - however high he is rated, has never played against him in person and is not well known either. Now to the game - i mean come on - all his moves - not 1 mind you - were killing kraminik. Kraminik obviously felt a pressure right from the start - all through the game until the end - something that he probably feels when playing Carlsen or top players - and something he knows he should not be feeling with a lesser player. Come on - world champ and an unknown player and you guys still give the odds to the unknown player. Well Kraminik maybe a bum, but so was kasparov when he cheated against Polgar or when ivanchuk cursed polgar etc. Well chess players are eccentric characters and rightfully so because when you spend 90% of your life sitting in front of 64 squares you may not blossom into a very likeable person. But why should we care - when as chess fans we are here to see their games. Take a good look at this game from the opponents point of view. Some of the moves - for e.g. giving away the d4 pawn at 8:48 with just seconds (watch the clock) remaining against a grandmaster to reduce down to a winning end game of rook vs knight was just too good. I mean Kraminik never saw it but a lesser opponent sees it in seconds. I mean why is this guy not ever heard of ? Come on man

Cry me a river Vlad :)
