I did love Hikaru's take on Danya playing with 12 cameras just to satisfy Kramnik "You don't even indulge them. You just say 'no, fuck you' and that's it"
Kramnik's problem is that however brilliant his chess is it is completely traditional. It always makes sense. The best modern GM's will throw in moves that are to their own disadvantage just to throw for a loop the traditional players like Kramnik who are buried in the conventional, to ruin their prep and send them into unusual game positions. Modern GM's have watched many Stockfish type games and have learned a higher level of subterfuge and deflection than older GM's have learned. Kramnik's mind is so regimented that he can't even grasp this new level of chess.
Sad to see Danya with him as a child. Danya is a little Russian schoolboy who was in his nascent phase of learning chess when Kramnik was champ. He undoubtedly looked up to him for years before all this insame behavior
Danya, bless him, should never have engaged Kramnik, because as we have seen, Kramnik will never be satisfied. And Kramnik doesn't want to be satisfied, he wants to maliciously cast suspicion on people who are performing well and achieving success. Danya has literally set up multiple cameras to show his entire room and Vlad the Implier (not my invention, but fantastic nickname) isn't satisfied, because one camera is a laptop filming things from the other side of the room. Whatever proof Danya offers will never be enough, because you can't retroactively prove definitively that you didn't cheat in a game played years ago. This is why the burden of proof is on the prosecution, who in this case is Kramnik. And his evidence is....Danya thought about playing a move Kramnik didn't think of two years ago, and he sometimes glances away from his screen when playing. The fact that Kramnik challenged Danya (but not Hikaru afaik) as though that would somehow prove something tells you all you need to know. A heads up match just proves who played better on a given day, because people are not robots. Anyway, don't entertain Kramnik. He can demand answers but he is owed none. Just tell him he's an idiot, a bully, and has a fundamentally terrible understanding of statistics, then move on with your life.
I just love how Kramnik acts like chesscom doesn’t know who Danya is. Better report him so he’s on their radar… like every game Danya has played hasn’t been analyzed by engines.
The bishop C1 move was so obvious lol. Defending the pawn and saving the bishop pair. Sure it undevelops the bishop which might be positionally wrong from a human perspective, but it's so obvious why one would play it. It's not some weird undeveloping move that only makes sense in some variations five moves later. But Kramnik seems to think undeveloping = computer move
The more players use computers to analyze, practice, study, etc. the more they’re going to start playing like computers. They’ll never be as good, but it’s a natural progression. I don’t think Kramnik is delusional or salty about losing. I think it’s more nefarious as he continues.
I think Kramnik has hurt his own standings in the chess community when people think of him it’s not as the ex champion but rather the guy calling everyone a cheater that’s his Rep can picture him ten years from now doing the same ole Procedure
We all know the boy who cried wolf. Kramnik is exactly what I would picture in my mind. I'm not just saying that. It's his hair especially for some reason. He looks like what I've always imagined! He's really just going for virtue points. He thinks he has high ground. There are tons of people cheating for sure..but clearly not the ones he's going after.
Im not saying Epic Cheese is a closet MI-6 pretending to be a RUclipsr given his prowess in somehow always finding incredible exclusive footage and insider scoop for us viewers all the time, but I would not be surprised, my fellow fans.
STOP MAKING VIDEOS. Seriously, STOP. I cannot relax and enjoy browsing RUclips when I see a new video from Epic Chess. My brain goes from "Ok, time to relax and watch mindless videos" to "wait, whats this!?". At least warn us..

This evening i went to the dairy shop. I've asked for some Epic Cheese. I was given the question mark
I asked for Dark Squares Swiss Cheese, and got the same answer..

Recent TT has Danya with about 5 cameras. Ridiculous the lengths he has to go to, only for Krammers to demand more!
It’s borderline abuse and harassment
4:23 every new video brings a new phrase to "knight on the rim" 😂
Sad to see Danya with him as a child. Danya is a little Russian schoolboy who was in his nascent phase of learning chess when Kramnik was champ. He undoubtedly looked up to him for years before all this insame behavior
2:05, 3:05 Kramnik even changed his T-shirt, so sweaty he was during that game!
Kramnik is becoming crazy Bobby Fischer, completey paranoid and not accepting his own inadequacies.
5:12 video quality has been gold recently lmao
That’s funny the monkey playing with the saw as Kramnik talks that pretty much sums it up right there 😅
So kramnik is mad at Danya for realizing bishops can indeed move backwards?

How the mighty have fallen.
5:13 epic comparison 😂
I hereby fully endorse the term "WORLD CHUMPIAN". Well done Epic Cheese. 🎉
haha
4:55 Is Bc1 that suspicious? What else was he supposed to do?
Rb1 and lose the bishop pair?
What a move. What. A. Move...
But if you're playing 84% accuracy against a GM, you're going to lose. It doesn't matter who you are, so what did he expect?
4:24 _Rumspringa?_ 😄
*Edit:* ok u got me this was a long time cucumber, subbed! u are absolutely mad & hilarious 👍
haha thanks a lot appreciate it

i must know, what is that chass rap clip from??
this year's chesscom get together happened a few days ago lol
Alapin is the name of a Russian player, not lapin, the french name of the rabbit.

Love an Epic Cheese upload.
Okay so instead of trying to understand what Bc1 was played for he just throws up his hands and decides Danya is cheating lmao
What a bitter dinosaur.
Love your content and sense of humour. Keep up the god's work!
Underdeveloped orangutan genius
''Well done'' for Vaping, Kramnik, but as a vaping guy I have to say that you bring shame to all of us with your attitude ....hahhaaaaa....
Kramnik = Meme Machine
You haven't seen latest video from Kramnik apparently....not a great moving siding with Danya right now
Only an idiot would side with Kram.
yeah watched earlier, so incredibly boring and rambling it was painful!
Im not saying Epic Cheese is a closet MI-6 pretending to be a RUclipsr given his prowess in somehow always finding incredible exclusive footage and insider scoop for us viewers all the time, but I would not be surprised, my fellow fans.
Also, I’m glad the party hat 🎉has come back from vacation. I was worried it did a Megxit. Whew!
😂
Meanwhile Kramnik still thinks the politician he voted for is going to keep his promises
Poor kramink taking him out of context. Deserves it though.
Love the Kramnik jokes, it's the treatment he deserves. #TeamDanya

Kram is a cheater. You are right.
