Really devastating. He was my favorite chess streamer and such a genuine person. I remember distinctly every time his opponent was suspected of cheating he was adamant in giving them the benefit of the doubt.

No matter what we find out in the next few days, I wish authorities had taken Kramnik’s cyber bullying more seriously. It’s a stain on chess that this is allowed to continue.

To take the conversation in a more technical direction, there are pretty clear parallels with “AI detector” technology which also could be (and I’m sure has been) life ruining. For both writing and chess, there are no authenticity detectors, only circumstantial evidence.

Yes, Kramnik’s BS was a large stressor on Danya and just a damn shame. Today is a dark day.
Kramnik frankly has proven himself to be a POS. Even outside of this context. He's been baselessly accusing everyone of cheating for years.
