We can all agree that Vlad is a bit too toxic on this topic. However, you cannot, with 100% certainty, say that there was nothing suspicious in White's play. Even a single, obvious-looking move from afar, could have been supported by the engine during the play and we could never prove it. The rule of thumb is to never fully trust your opponent during an online play. I lost 2 games in classical online play, only to find out that those two players were banned afterward, even thought I haven't felt anything 'suspicious' during the game.

Kramnik was once a top player, but hasn't kept up with the development of theory. His ego won't let him see this, so he just accuses everyone of cheating. It's just getting sad. He underestimated his opponent, went for a reckless attack, then gets salty when his opponent punishes his recklessness and overconfidence with solid play. 3:57 Bf1 isn't even hard to find here. It's a common defensive idea in these structures, and a common response to your queen being under threat is to counterattack your opponent's queen. Ra7 is also not a difficult move to find. Putting a rook on the 7th or 2nd rank is a common attacking idea, and it's just a matter of calculating whether your attack is faster than Black's. My point is that nothing Artem played here was some bizarre engine line. Just solid, principled chess. It's worth noting that young kids are often underrated, since they are learning and progressing rapidly, and haven't had the time to reach their true rating. They are the last opponents you want to underestimate and disrespect like Kramnik did here.

Agreed. I'm not practiced enough to be anywhere near this level in my own games, but even I saw a few of these blunders and how to punish them; obviously it's harder in the game than from the sidelines after the fact, but I'm an amateur and he's a bit better than I am so I'd imagine that normally helps 😂 They both played better than I do, but this just looked like Kramnik got sloppy against someone good enough to punish him for it. Even I can get 90+ accuracy when someone gives me an obvious blunder to work with. If a kid is wrecking you when you're playing extremely well, that's one thing, but anyone can lose when they have a bad day. OTB I'll pick up wins from people double my rating or lose to people who've only played a handful of times just because one mistake is all it takes sometimes.

Kramnik is a victim of his own hype. He believes that, because he was the 14th world chess champion all those years ago, he should not lose to anyone lower rated than he is, ever. What Kramnik FORGOT is that he is a world champion in the classical format. Not rapid, not blitz, not bullet. And was competing under the most serious and supportive chess federation in the world (Russia). No doubt this man had the best team of Russian GM's coaching him on his opponent going into those matches. Furthermore, a teenage FIDE Master is just a Grandmaster who has yet to prove himself. Kramnik should give the kid more credit.

Nobody plays OTB blitz, unless it’s tiebreaker or world championship. Let’s be honest. He lost 51.4 points in July 2023. He didn’t lose rating points in rapid or blitz. In 9/12 months he played at least one classical chess game. That is not “barely” and besides it’s not like he has money and time to play as many classical games as possible in a year, and it’s not like FIDE rated tournaments are appearing every weekend. Once again, he won because Kramnik played poorly that’s it. He doesn’t constantly win against superGMs. He plays OTB, so saying that he never plays OTB is incorrect.

Well I am a 1300 myself and I can find best moves in puzzles that are 2000-2500 level sometimes. My average puzzle rating is 2000. Once his opponent felt he is brutally attacked he gave up on theory and focused on finding best moves to defend the king and managed to do that. Naturally the opponent started to gain advantage due to extra piece towards the end.

When you set out to expose cheaters in chess, everybody will start to look like one.

The only way for Kramnik to reconcile his loss is to insist the opponent is cheating. Kramnik is a legend of the game and should be regarded as such, his ego can't integrate that younger players can get so proficient in tricky situations. Kramnik needs a coach to hype him up and create some changes in the thought patterns near the end. It's tough to watch players that come from a different epoch struggle in the digital chess age.

Dyachuk NEVER would have won this game without that unfair IQ advantage. If that's not cheating, then I don't know what is. No wonder Kramnick reflexively reported Dyachuk as a cheater (without bothering to analyze the moves after his temper subsided).

In fact I remember aman losing to a 1900 ,someone 600 points lower than him , at the Olympiad lmao. You have to understand those guys literally built their careers by cheating with the permission of the website for streaming entertainment. They're not trustworthy off the bat.

Fair Play is not on Kramnick’s dictionary…

If Kramnik was playing himself he'd accuse him of cheating

Kramnik doesnt understand the current meta blitz. He still play outdated aggresive move. Most player play engine moves and keep the position secure, grind the enemy until they make inaccuracy.

The fact is that all these talks and speculations of online cheating have created a serious case of unfounded paranoia for players at all levels. The answer to lower rated players' concerns about cheating is not to insult them. But if they simply can't get over this mental barrier, it might best for them to seek other hobbies or partipate in their local chess club.

​@@klebersonnnbecause people cheat at all levels as Eric the CEO of the website told Levittown Chess World there's way more cheaters at his level then there is at the top. Seems that chess players don't understand this think about it when you make a new account where do you start? It's not just engine use someone at his level has to worry about it's all the people using multiple accounts like yourself that are a problem.

Ima 800 and bishop h4 was not difficult. Wouldve done that than take his f pawn.

I think his opponent is a shameless cheater. Not only did he beat Kramnik position-wise, he also beat him on the clock. What's more, the cheater is a very weak player (he might even cheat OTB to get those 2200 FIDE points) because he didn't even bother to protect his king. What happened is the engine saved the game, protected everything, started the counterattack and quickly checkmated Kramnik. Easy-peasy. Kramnik is no match for modern engines, especially in blitz games. It's hard to play vs a lot of engine moves. This explains low quality (around 80% accuracy) for Kramnik's game. The low quality is also likely in very difficult positions that require very deep long calculations. That's precisely what occurred in this game: to get good accuracy very deep calculations were needed like 7 moves ahead with many, many sidelines and variations. The engine did it easily and destroyed Kramnik as easy as pie. So, that's what I think.

you are the only person posting that this guy was cheating. However, you are about the only one providing an explanation for the origin of your view. The thing you said about the perversion of a player's accuracy when the other player is an engine definitely holds a lot of water for me! I'm hesitant to call Kramik wrong on this. If he's still a sane man, and not ill, then he'd know an awful lot more about the subject than I.

Sadly it's just pointless. He is a kid that won a master tourney last month which didn't get updated yet(FIDE updates monthly) and got an elo over 2300 after the update(2637 elo performance). Also he played in my chess club before he transfered to the Bundesliga and hell I can tell he is something entirely different than ANYONE I've played before. You feel the power in his play and strength immediately. And the worst part is he doesn't even look at the board much, kids are really unique. Future 2600+GM mark my words.

@@thomasmount7388 Kramnik still plays at the top GM level in blitz. FMs and even GMs cannot easily destroy him in blitz, deliver a mate in 35 moves and also win on the clock (but an engine can do that). It's highly unlikely to beat him like that even by Magnus and Nakamura combined. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. It's important to understand that most of comments supporting cheaters are from, like, 1500 players or so. They don't calculate more than 3-4 moves ahead and rely completely on the engine and a very shallow understanding or calculations. In reality many moves ahead are calculated with a lot of branching out at 2700 even in blitz. You can feel it even in this very game when Kramnik resigns seeing the mate in 3 moves instantly - in a split second. While his opponent probably picks up various engine moves (mostly between 1st, 2nd and 3d lines) and rarely makes his own moves. That's shameless cheating IMO. The game itself is very sharp and tactical (where computers shine). It's far more difficult and deeper than cheaters try present it by thinking 1-2 moves ahead and then call Kramnik weak or crazy. He is super strong blitz player even online. Also, the way this cheater is calmly playing on the Queenside is yet another indirect proof (not 100% of course; there's no 100% in real life--it doesn't exist) of cheating. Only engine can neglect the kingside like that calculating 10+ moves ahead being secure in its calculations that the king is safe even if it's completely exposed from the human perspective, i.e. the engine sees everything and too far ahead. What's more, I think this player is even below his 2200 FIDE. I think he also cheated OTB.

Maybe Kramnik is like a spouse who has cheated so they expect cheating to be done on them.

If the rook on f8 were a cannon then it could jump over the pawn and take on f3. This is Xiangqi 101 🤪

Its actually kinda scary how he's lost his mind... Crazy what age can do to you.

Kram. needs to learn "gg" in Cyrillic.

Kramnik is saying a young talented player is not capable of such strong play ? Getting old and not able to play at your best is never easy to accept.....all a part of the golden years .

@@Trelmayas21 Actually Bobby was a tyrant. But everything he said about chess has been proven right, from pre-arranged draws and rigged tournaments, to the exclusivity and politics behind the scenes, to computers killing off the game in 100 years.

Tournament directors and chess organizations HAVE to take this problem seriously and do everything they can to prevent/minimize cheating...AND to hand out EXTREMELY severe penalties--loss of all FIDE titles, rating point deductions of 200+ points, barred from the game for 3-5 years, and all of the above and a life ban for a second offense. That said...I've now seen this game analyzed here and on another popular channel, and I really don't think the FM cheated...and I base that on the analysts that are far better than I am, by the computer score of percent correct by each player, AND the fact that the FM did NOT play the main computer move at one key point in the game...when Kramnik had the three center pawns pushed and lined up. Cheating is horrible and inexcusable, BUT you'd better be darn sure (and be able to prove it with evidence) if you lob accusations at someone of this. You shouldn't simply use it as a defense of your ego and poor play.

Tank...you...for this.

Kramnik seems to love destroying the reputation he built when he was at the top of his game. His lack of sportmanship is a laugh.

You have to understand, getting old sucks, so i can empathize. He thinks he's the guy that played Kasparov and rarely lose to anyone. He's more like Levy these days.

I made a 98% accurate blitz game today. It just happens, mate! And go to hell everybody who’s calling me a cheater cause I’m not! Kramnik has gone crazy for sure! I can no longer respect him.

"Make a Kramnik" or "to kramnik" = blindly accuse someone of cheating. Well, it's time to take a break or retire, Vladimir. Take some good vacations man.

We need an objective way of determining whether someone is cheating. It needs to take into account the persons grading and rate of change of grading. For example, if Carlson Pa,us an amazing game, we are impressed. But if I played the same game, it would be obvious that I was cheating, because I am an amateur player. It’s harder with young players, because they are often improving very fast or apparently coming out of nowhere. One giveaway for cheating is that the cheater does not make any mistakes. In most brilliant human games, the winner at least makes the occasional inaccuracy.

This is chess bullying !!! ... Congratulations to the 14 year from Ukraine .... Fantastic play 👏👏👏👏

I think poor old Vlad went and krapniked himself.

Kramnik has been known to make big blunders in the past, even in OTB chess.

It is painful to loose, but ridiculous to whine about it. Old master seems to be fading away into mental unstability.

Very suspicious defense

Everyone who plays with Kramnik should report him for cheating.

300 Elo difference has 85% probability of winning for the stronger side (player should have 8.5 points in a 10 games match). Maybe Kramnik should invest some time in learning stats

People do cheat 100% online but how do you stop them. Even at 1300 elo

You don't, that's why I don't play online anymore.

Kramnik thinks that "average accuracy" is a good measure of cheating, but this is not correct. I agree that it is easy for mid level players to cheat online, but Kramnik's his actual use of statistics is problematic.

The Great Vladimir Kramnik may be forgetful, arrogance, over confident, often disrupting clarity of concentration 

He immediately reported a young player for cheating without even analyzing the game?? What a loser. I suppose soon he'll have some flashy sounding analysis where he uses the word "mathematics" a lot and then proceeds to spew bullshit numbers at us until we believe he's secretly a mathematician.

I've never lost a game of chess! All of my opponents cheated!!! Chess needs a new rule that I always win!

Oh, that's so embarrassing. There's no shame in losing but there's shame in being a sour loser.
