I hadn't follow closely enough and wasn't aware - thanks for pointing out.

Kramnick accuses Danya of cheating (several pieces of circumstantial 'evidence' in the thread): https://x.com/VBkramnik/status/1911179469773033512

A tweet by IM Kostya Kavutskiy of ChessDojo from November 2024 (paraphrased):

> Our intention was to express concern for what's going on. Many of us supported Kramnik's fight against online cheating for some time.

> But then he started naming players left & right, some of whom were likely 100% innocent, who got their name dragged through the mud regardless. Kramnik also started naming actual children at one point, without any real evidence from what I could tell

> And it's not "just asking questions", it's casting aspersions. And the words of any world champion obviously carry a lot of responsibility.

This whole cheating kerfuffle would have never happened if people would have switched to games or variations of games that are not beaten by computers.
