He already is. He blames Ukraine and Russia equally for Russian's invasion and occupation of Ukraine. And now he goes all moral high horse after Niemann. Which makes me suspect he cheated in toilet gate. like how the most homophobic Christian conservative right winters turn out to be closet gays themselves. He just has no moral compass or sensibility AT ALL. Compare this to Kasparov, the goat, who spoke out against Carlsen's evidence-free cheating accusation immediately. And who has been a critic of Putin for decades, basically predicting the war against Ukraine in his book, 'Winter is coming'. There is a reason why Kasparov opinion is valued, and Kramnik's is not. Kramnik is a hypocrite and a coward, refusing to speak out on politics from his villa in Switzerland and then attacking teenagers because he lost a video game over cheating that never happened. In fact, what Kramnik said is worse because for months after the war started, he refused to say anything about it. And then when Russia took a bunch of land and some other Russian players spoke out against the war, he came out and said 'Ukraine should give up land to make peace' and then he attacked his fellow Russians who did speak out for 'cheap fake moral superiority' or something silly like that. Kramnik is ABSOLUTE TRASH and probably a cheater.
Sad? Old people die off, younger people take over. It's the natural order of things, and if you want to claim it's sad, you need proof, which you don't have, so that's it. Not trying to be edgy or whatever, the chess simply speaks for itself. lol
Yes, sad when a 19 year old is put on blast by the biggest names and company in chess while being innocent in the original incident. Then they bring up online cheating from 2 years ago when he was a minor for which he already served suspension and is something that many other titled players have done, some who are higher rated than Hans, older than Hans and cheated more than Hans. Sad state of affairs when a young man is turned into a global meme referring to vibrating butt plugs in his ass and goes from many tournament invites to zero thanks to Magnus blackballing him using his influence while 0 evidence of him cheating at Sinquefield which Magnus accused him of exists. Sad.
@@payload1174not sad at all. Hans always looked for the “villain” arc, even much before what happened. He’s probably very happy to be infamous right now. He asked for it and he got it. He for sure cheated and he’s proud of it.
Just a few thoughts: 1. If kramnik wanted to make a statement about cheating in chess, he wouldnt have waited til after he lost to hans to do it. He was simply being a poor sport lashing out after losing and this was how he rationalized it to himself. 2. He complained about the amount of people getting 90% accuracy against him far more than they do against people like magnus and hikaru but the truth is, he blunders far more often than magnus and other elite super gms at this stage in his career. And its well understood that it is much easier to get higher accuracy ratings when your opponent blunders. I've gotten 98.2% as a 1300 in a 30 move match where my opponent made one extremely bad blunder in the first few moves and it made all my follow-up moves fairly easy for me to spot. Obviously, gms dont typically blunder as bad but they do blunder and gms are more accurate so the concept is still the same regardless of rating. Less severe blunders vs more accurate play so it all evens out in the end, so to speak. 3. Hans is absolutely an online cheater, I do not believe he is remorseful for his actions and would not be shocked if he gets caught cheating again. Also wouldn't be shocked if it comes out that hes cheated otb as well. That said, I don't believe anything from the games with kramnik point to hans cheating. This is a bad look for kramnik but hes shown these sort of diva tendencies before so its really not surprising. He seems like hes one of those older guys that can't accept that he is no longer in his prime and the younger generation has simply surpassed him.

By introducing the Berlin defense and making Kasparov stop playing Kings Indian Defense back in the day Kramnik has done more damage to chess than Niemann ever will .. kappa ..
Idiot, no one created more ideas and resurrected old lines than Kramnik. He took out Kaspy's main weapon which was outstanding opening theory and he squeezed him in dry technical positions where he was superior to Kasparov. Kramnik, the only one who never feared Kaspy. Anand a colossal talent always had psychological issues with Kaspy. Kramnik an all time great.
20 year old rising top drawer GM beats 48 year old GM. I’m going to go out on a limb and ask why is this in any way controversial? Nobody thinks 48 is optimal do they?
Kramnik was world champion, and other achievements. Im surprised emotions get a hold of him at this point, being so experienced in life in general. As for Hans´s "Chess speaks for itself" argument, i think he will realize sooner or later that "Great achievements speak for themselfs", is the accurate way to phrase it. And boy...does he have alot of ground to cover yet compared to Magnus as example.
Kramnik forgot to take his pills. His own argumentation most of the "truth reveal" vid was all about "i would of done move faster/slower - it is suspicious". His Cognitive bias was spreading under a shit of "personal gut equals logic" kinda stuff. For this time, i m on the side of Hans.
Och people. You (Niemann and Carlsen ^.^") should make peace. Imo it would be sad, when in the far future be too much negativity about this topic or the brilliant players what they are both are. Niemann is a gambler and Carlsen, often looks to have real fun since he was a child, is a player in the very meaning. PS: sorry for my horrible english ^.^
Why does Nakamura pronounce words like a maniac? Every word is spoken loudly without interruptions while the mouth forms syllables that are weirdly pronounced with a wide open mouth and a rapid change between open and close.. Has Nakamura become crazy? Too many games , all night long, drugs and coffee??? I really don`t know. Or has the whole world become crazy like that?? I am 64 years old and sometimes I feel like my youth happened thousands of years before... I feel like Dr. Helmut Pfleger, German GM, 79 years old, who said recently that he has the feeling as if he has fallen out of our time: No smartphone, no internet, no social media, no porn for six.year-olds...
So Kramnik blunders, make mistakes and many misses., but then accuse Hans of cheating! seriously?! This whole "Hans cheating" tantrum is becoming so ridiculous looking like a child putting excuses while crying for losing a game! Now, every time a GM loses to Hans just throw cheating accusations without any context or any evidence at all to justify your bad game. Absolutely childish and pathetic!
Kramnik, the former WCC and Hans Niemann who needs no introduction
His name speaks for itself
Yes I laughed about that aswell😂
Yes,
His name cheats for itself
Lmao, the shade 😂
Never thought I’d hear Hikaru have to clarify that he’s talking about a mating pattern, not hentai 😂
Had to come to the comments to make sure I wasn't the only one who thought that was hilarious to hear from him
An old definition of this word is really related to hentai, but now it's commonly describes a "mini girl" of any age in anime as I can see.
hentai do have a lot of mating patterns tbf
Loli hentai, more specifically. 😂
That was very funny, and somewhat cute.
I like the fact that when Hikaru says someone 'needs no introduction', he then actually doesn't introduce them.
