so facts, he is clearly mathematically illiterate, you can run the calculations for a problem like this with a high school level grasp of statistics

The reality of this situation is that this has been a matter of *elementary school level* statistics from the beginning. I remember reading about a coin flip example when I was literally 9 years old at math camp. Essentially, if you have 100 coin flips, you are *overwhelmingly* likely to get at least one streak of 5-6 heads or tails in a row. The likelihood is so high in fact, you can confidently identify a fake set of data if there are not more than 3 in a row during the 100 flips. Applying this to Hikaru who plays 50k games a year, it would be unlikely for Hikaru NOT to get 46 wins in a row eventually. Let that sink in. Kramnik has less understanding of statistics than an elementary schooler. You do NOT need to be a statistician to understand this concept.

He should not have said 'interesting'; he very clearly should have said I don't believe, nor do I think Hikaru was cheating, but any results like this I would hope would be looked at, especially among players who are obviously far less talented in these formats. In other words, he could have done it way better initially. Now? He needs to back up, or a label like scumbag might stick. 🙄

Just because he didn't say the name Hikaru is a technicality with no merit. If you describe achievements that have only been accomolished by 1 person, then you indicated that person. If I say "I'm not a fan of the 45th president of the US," I am not naming a name, but I am identifying a specific person and making a statement about them.

If anything, he's making more money than his average due to the videos he's making on the subject. That isn't to say that Kramnik isn't being an idiot. If anything, it proves how much of an idiot he's been since no one believes him. Essentially, Hikaru could take Kramnik to court just to stop Kramnik from talking about this, but A) he might not even win due to Kramnik's wording. B) He couldn't seek money in reparations, as he hasn't lost anything. Defamation is a serious pain to prove. Not impossible, as seen in the Depp v Heard case, but difficult.

I know during the Speed Chess Championship, there is a camera on the players face, a camera on their hands and their monitor, their monitor is screenshared, and i believe headphones aren't allowed and audio is monitored as well. In addition to that, there are all the other usual detection measures of analytics and algorithms. Beyond that, what could anyone do to "prove" to Kramnik that Nakamura didn't cheat? I'd like to hear Kramnik explain exactly what would satisfy him, because apparently anecdotal "evidence" of misunderstood statistics is enough to convince him the cheating occurred, but cameras, screensharing, audio, statistical analysis and algorithmic analysis shows he didn't, but that's not good enough? Or even anecdotally, he's not even the only one to have done it. I'd like Kramnik to "prove" that his workd championship wasn't politically driven and Kasparov didn't hand it over to him. That was alleged by many people at the time, and apparently allegations are all that are needed to require you to prove innocence.

@luka188

The burden of proof is on the accuser, so, Kramnik needs to provide proof of cheating, rather than Hikaru needs to proof to Kramnik that he didn't cheat. Hikaru didn't cheat, until someone can provide real evidence, or extremely convincing arguments that are beyond reasonable doubt to proof that he cheated. I mean, even though it is quite reasonable to suspect that hans cheated to beat magnus, there is no way to proof it, so even hans cannot be fully accused of this, even though the probable cause is still very likely due to his past history of known and verified cheating, the verified and known cheating of his chess teacher, and how outlandish it is how he beat magnus, and how weak his arguments were when defending himself and his chess play, etc, etc.. In case with Hikaru, there is nothing at all. So, there is no reason to even suspect anything here, no probable cause even.

I didn't know world renowned statistician and data scientist Kramnick plays chess too

I really hope Kramnik doesn't consult only his lawyers. The lawyers are going to get paid win or lose, and they won't be blamed for all the damage to Kramnik's reputation.

The whole "he explains everything, is a very good player that is quick on his feet, and super good at multitasking (looking at chat etc)" if anything would make cheating harder to detect as he has all the skills needed to do it in an essentially undetectable way.

Please do care for Kramnik because he is a grumpy old man, he is getting old and clearly becoming delusional and immature due to his old age.

When I read this title I couldn’t help but laugh and say - “ladies and gentlemen - he’s trippin”

The beauty here is that in return to having to deal with false accusations, Hikaru is utilizing this as an opportunity for more content.

❤I'm thrilled for you and pleased with how things are unfolding in this case.

karmnik has clearly forgotten that chess engines use hikaru to calculate

oh no! Another lawsuit!

its wild how one troll can cause so much drama in a community

I am a formal world champion, Hikaru is not. Yet he is performing better than me therefor the only logical conclusion is that he cheats. - Sherlock Kramnik

Tbh Topalov's accusations against Kramnik in their WCC is much more credible than Kramnik's against Hikaru.

I feel like this might be a sign of Kramnik having some real mental health issues not unlike Fischer.

Kramnik hasn’t been saying anything about Jews and women so for now we are safe.

The funny thing is: everybody is saying "my conclusions are proven by statistics and maths". And then either doesn't show his results, or results are obtained with incorrect assumptions 😂

In human history, stupidity has a glorious past and a promising future.

What a sad hill for Kramnik to die on. Smh

This entire Kramnik situation is hilarious, he's lost his mind lol

It seems so. But it is also kind of painful to watch. I mean, I really liked the guy. This is such a disappointment.

"can cause huge damages for me." Buddy, you brought this upon yourself.

No matter where he drags this case he's going to lose it, the further he takes it the worse it will end up for him.

Kramnik clearly accused Hikaru as having “impossible” results so yeah…… he accused Hikaru of cheating He’s a grown man, and now he can deal with the fact that everyone thinks he’s an out of touch paranoid fool (which, sadly, he is)

I can't believe how far this went, I can't take Kramnik serious anymore, this is Ridiculous ! LMAO

Ripped from the headlines! Kramnik shakes his fist at the clouds!

I love this drama because i remember the older videos where it was joked that you had a 2nd monitor on the ceiling and stockfish constantly playing up there

(Not a lawyer) Hikaru should counter-sue. The chess speaks for itself.

For what? Kramnik gave Hikaru extra content and revenue. The accusations are so ridiculous that no one with half brain takes them seriously.

@@bambesfresser if hikaru was a girl she will definitely do counter-sue, talkin about statistics 😂

Love yall hope yall have a great life❤❤❤❤❤

Rest in Peace, Kramnik.

Sir may I say you handled this well and all the best

Imagine being so good that an ex-world champion harasses you for months believing you must be cheating.

This is insane lol

That Benzema reference went right over Hikaru's head... and that's probably for the best.

Whatever the outcome of that lawsuit, lawyers are threatening to bill exorbitant legal fees.

I'm genuinely happy that Kramnik did all this. As hard as I've tried, I've had trouble fully detaching chess from intelligence even though chess skills is very specific and doesn't correlate to overall intelligence. But seeing a world class chess player struggle to understand the most basic statistics concept while acting like a child, it has finally allowed my brain to make that detachment. And also thank you Kramnik for the all entertainment, your constant idiotic action really has been making my day recently 😆

There’s just no way 😂

I didn't expect those petition comments to be like that lmaoo

To quote Peter Sellers 'I am standing here beside myself'.

Bro's really trying to make some money off Hikaru 💀

Topalov was right about Kramnik. If we are going to make meritless accusations against top players in the world, we should at least remember that Kramnik was checking a phone app during his World Championship game against Topalov. Either that, or he had the "squirts".

I can see Kramnik’s inner Soviet rises when it comes to inaccuracy in chess

kramnik's response is actual bee movie main antagonist material

Kramnik: *makes barely veiled accusation* World: "Kramnik made an accusation." K: "No I didn't, if you look carefully you will noticed it was veiled." W: "Right. Well, your accusation was not only unfounded, it was unwarranted." K: STOP SAYING "ACCUSATION" OR I'LL SUE. I feel like signing off as the 14th World Champion is more of an explanation for his unhinged behaviour than a chest-beating attempt at claiming authority.

Hikaru definitely went back and read the comments.

Kramnik clearly hasn't seen Hikaru tell Engine to pick up the depth.

Should Kramnik be investigated for serial arson? I’m not accusing him, I just think that we can all agree that nobody is above suspicion.

How is Kramnik seriously saying this is not an accusation? It's like asking "when did you stop beating your wife?" and saying it's not an accusation, just a question. I can't stop laughing at Kramnik's posts. They're completely unhinged.

If anything accusing you of cheating is a compliment to how good you are

I dont have an alibi for every time that you were reported.

Hikaru's anything but a cheat. Could definitely use less repetition of phrases, however 😂

Jeez Louise. Uh oh spaghetti o

Does he intend to use the credible Russian legal system?😂

This is straight up some of the best content since Guess the Elon and sub battles 😂

Reporting Hikaru after every game for “cheating” is quality meme material

Event though the probability of such streak is low - such streak can easily happen given the high number of games
