Poor guy. Danya doesn't deserve to be called a cheater. Out of everyone in the chess community he's one of the last people I would suspect of cheating lol. He doesn't really gain anything from it.
Actually he does. RUclips a video of his titled "fishing pole alapin". He accidentally states " the engine is saying that...." and then he immediately catches himself and just goes along with it and admits to using an engine against his opponent for "educational purposes". Ummm, if you never disclose to your oponnent that you're using an engine, that is literally the definition to cheating. It doesn't matter if it's magnus, caruana, Danya. Using an engine during a live game without disclosing it to your opponents before hand is blatant cheating.
When no evidence is required to make an accusation, no evidence will disprove the accusation. We should never accept accusations that do not come with evidence.
Almost every accusation coming from most any player in the past year or so has been without evidence. Some get a life of their own, especially when other players jump on board the "this looks sus" bandwagon. Hopefully nobody takes this one seriously.
Lots of claims like eye movements, etc. are just confirmation bias in action. If you think he's cheating then the eye movements confirm what you believe and if you think he's not then its nothing. A lot of people look up when visualizing something, doesn't seem sus to me. Definitely not evidence which is a higher standard than suspicion. Now, if you got reflections in which you can read the word "stockfish" or some other smoking gun, would love to see it. Otherwise it will likely just be more confirmation bias, some anomaly which confirms whatever it is you already suspect. Some glint in his eye which you interpret as stockfish.
@@percyweasley9301 You mean the new toilet scandal in Spain, not the time Kramnik was accused toilet cheating, right? I guess it takes on to know one...
Recognized about 11 minutes in. A wonderful move from one classy player to another. It's a shame that unfounded allegations are being flung around. While cheating is an issue, this sort of nonsense is bad for the game.
This is pointless. Kramnik has his mind made up, and those GMs convinced by this nonsense just accept whatever their superior says, mindlessly. Also, Kramnik says he isn't accusing, but it's an utter lie. He actually stated "it's definitely an engine". The immorality is beyond belief
Huge respect for the way you are handling this insanity. I would've lost my ever loving mind. I've learned alot more than just chess from you, like staying rational & not stooping down to"their" level especially when your character is being attacked. Your a good man Danya, and 99.99% stand with you & know what absolute B.S. this is.
When he showed the photo of him and Kramnik, it was so sad. Kramnik is the top troll and a POS. Danya, is a stand up man. Sorry, I don't believe one word of him cheating.
The disillusion will be a point of growth for Danya. He's the best we got, and even rivals Magnus in blitz/bullet. Has he used an engine for educational purposes on stream in already won games? Yes, and publicly apologized for it with reasonable grounds as an educator. Does he use an engine for titled tuesday? I very highly doubt it, because he knows he's an ambassador, a liason between beginner and master. It's just not his style to win unfairly.
@@tolkienfan1972 if it were me, my performance would drop. He said the stress of harassment is preventing him from sleeping, and he looks like he's not eating.
Wonder if Kramnik is projecting. The degree of vitriole is equivalent to the probability that the projector performs the behaviour trait he accuses others of..
He was also accused by Topalov in the 2006 championship, of course. At the time I thought it was just another oddity, like Karpov supposedly getting advice, against Korchnoi, by yoghurt flavour!? Now, I wonder.
Damn. Danya has been around for so long, and he's one of the most generous and down to earth guy in the chess-sphere. An attack like this on him just hits different. This is the lowest by Kramnik.
Eye movement is used to access different parts of the brain. Memory or creativity. Do not listen to the looser. Do not alter how you naturally go about your decision-making process.
It is going to affect him now unfortunately. He is human too. This witch hunt is going out of hand. Either you bring conclusive proof or you put questions on the entire online system of chess, not nitpick individuals.
Kramnik is utterly irresponsible. Many people (maybe most) stare at particular things when they are trying to recall or conducting deep analytical thought. Some stare upwards, some left or right. Even a mixture. I certainly do. My eyes go a little unfocused, because I'm not really looking at something. My minds eye has all the circuits, so to speak.
This is ridiculous. I remember Dayna had a book of a particular opening and he went out of his way in a video to make sure we knew he wasn't going to reference it until the game was over.
He just wants to create enough content so searching "Kramnik + cheating" will not bring his name up against Topalov, 2006, when he was accused of cheating
I doubt any sane adult chess player thinks Danya was cheating. Kramnik's absurd claims that have no basis in any kind of science are totally anti-productive in detecting the real cheaters and gives them more ways to evade detection.
Hey Danya, the worst thing about this whole issue is that there are still people who seem to take Kramnik seriously. Don‘t let yourself be dragged down. Thanks for your work, all the best!
Daniel, just ask yourself: why on earth should Kramnik be entitled to have your explanation for any of your behaviors? You have nothing to explain, at least until kramnik 1. clearly accuse you of something 2. provides some decent evidence.
@@hypercubemaster2729 you do not have to prove they are lying. It has to be untrue, but lying implies the person knows it to be untrue, which is not necessary. Either negligence or a reckless disregard for the truth depending on the victim are sufficient. IANAL
I saw Danya on stream shortly after and he seemed genuinely rattled. Imagine having one of your childhood heroes try to throw you under the bus like a delusional narss. Poor guy.
It is sad that people have to waste their time responding to these ridiculous allegations. At some point the general chess GMs should just respond by giving him to big middle fingers and saying FU.
This is a pretty interesting video, especially towards the end. While Danya is playing casually, you wont see his eyes move around to the area that Kramnik was pointing to. But in the last match as soon as he locks in, when he relaizes the position is not really easy to hold on, he comes closer to the laptop screen and then you can see the similar eye moments of glancing up thats was being shown in the Kramnik video. This is more clear to observe between time 39:20 and 39:40 of this video. Please give it a watch and you should be safisfied knowing that Danya is and was innocent all along.
The accusations are an absolutely pathetic grasp at relevance and clicks. Danya is beyond reproach and has always exhibited the highest of integrity. We all need to move on from this nonsense ASAP.
I left a comment on a video compilation of both Danya's and Kramnik's thoughts on the matter, basically saying that Danya feeling "nervous" about a move in a position that he's clearly dominating was just an act. Him thinking about other moves that don't work in easy positions is also done on purpose, all streamers do that to keep the chat engaged with the stream. I don't even watch the guy's streams and I knew that was what he was doing in the games that Kramnik analyzed. When I said this, some people were in my replies ignorantly "calling me out", and yet, here Danya is saying the exact same thing. That he indeed plays up his streams at times, since streaming is ultimately a form of entertainment, and nobody is there just to watch you play... they're there to engage with you.
Imagine Daniel Naroditsky, one of the best bullet player on earth, cheating while he streams his 3k elo bullet games HAHAHA that's so good. With all due respect to Kramnik, him and Danya aren't even playing the same game as soon as the time limit is less than 10 minutes, please...
I'm not accusing Kramnik of anything, but IF you were trying to cynically drive viewers to your youtube channel via false accusations of cheating, you'd probably want to target big name streamers with large and loyal followings, so that it generated plenty of coverage and secondary content from other streamers etc. Gothamchess isn't really strong enough for cheating allegations to stick, so, probably you'd start out accusing Hikaru, and if that didn't work, you'd move on to accusing Danya? As I said, I'm not accusing anyone of anything, I just think this is an interesting statistic that warrants further investigation...
The Ted Bundy thing probably means that Daniel comes off as a normal nice guy who seems trustworthy, but in reality he is a narcissistic chess cheater. Not that I believe that, but that is probably the parallel they are going for.
It's sad to see that honest and nice people have to deal with hate and have to prove themselves against paranoid people like Kramnik. Kramnik deserves respect as a former world champion but the way he presents himself online and all the hate he brings with it is really just sickening.
Agree with you mostly. Actually he does not even deserve any respect until he explains his own Toiletgate satisfactorily. Who knows through what hidden means the world title was gained by him in the first place? Isn't he the one who first said the onus is on the accused to prove his innocence, instead of the opposite? So let Kramnik prove his own innocence first. He cannot apply one set of standards for others, and another for himself.
33:00 why didnt black play Bxf4? If Rg6+ then Bg3 up a piece, if Rxg3+ fg Qxg3+ Bg2 and wheres the mate? Is he banking on Ne5 tricks? If yeah, its crazy to make the decision in seconds, sacrificing a whole piece for unclear comp
For what it's worth: I didn't take Kramnik's accusations against you seriously for an instant. I have followed chess pretty closely since 2020 and have a pretty broad perspective of the current events of chess. I follow all the big personalities, watch all the big tournaments, subscribe to several podcasts, and from where I am sitting, you are infinitely more credible than he is. Try not to take this too much to heart. I get a very strong sense that any reasonable person is going to be on your side.
Your channel description doesn’t make sense. You could just save videos into a playlist to rewatch later. There’s no need to copy and reupload an entire video. All this does is siphon views away from the original creator, while breaking RUclips terms of service
I'm not going to argue that a 40min clip with no cuts is particularly transformative, but to be fair twitch VODs only last a couple months tops if you're a partner or pay for it. And they're very different platforms. Danya has yet to release a YT video about this, and unless people are specifically looking for the VOD, they're not going to just stumble upon it because of how twitch works.
Don't worry Danya. They're sad individuals!! Would be completely irrelevant in today's chess if it wasn't for the drama. Must be hard on the way down and I feel for them, but there is no excuse for this!!
Kramnik is honestly getting well out of hand. Comes on, rambles about all sorts of weird allegations with no concern for the well-being of the accused. He may have been right on occasion, but if you shoot enough bullets in the river eventually you hit a fish. Certainly don't think he's right in this instance, he's way off the mark. Feels like Kramnik is single-handedly destroying online chess because he can't handle how online play has made people a lot younger than him so much better. It's ridiculous
pretty unfair to feel the need to defend urself against meritless accusations. it should be a crime to make such accusations, especially when they turn out to be false. yet, while there is not usually any helpful criminal law, there are other laws that may be used to punish such accusations via defamation (slander/libel) and tortious interference with business relationships or business opportunities.
Danya? Really??? Cmon this is clearly out of hand, I mean there’s just no way! Kramnik is a total meme at this point, and what gets me is Danya is always so careful about accusations, and is constantly telling his own chat off for assuming people are cheating when they play well! Danya is one of the most respected personalities in contemporary chess, and for good reason!
Anyone who's watched Danya's stream even for a very short amount of time would know he would never cheat. Kramnik is a sad fool who needs to stop talking.
Third monitor, disconnected and on the floor during room tour, I wonder if he sets up his third monitor to the right during title Tuesday for stockfish purposes. Why would you have a random third monitor sitting on the floor like that just for room tour...
when it’s personal that’s the first thing they say is it’s not personal but use your name for clout or whatever the reason but there are great chess players like you and then there are clowns too and clowns are funny
I wish people would just learn some stats, rather than say " oh the guy in the 99 percentile is beating 99 of his opponents" yeah thats what the stats show lol
if he says he is not accusing then he is not why are we accusing him of accusing. just place a camera behind like in tournaments and do a stream that is.. assuming he dosent have the beads in ofc.
4:13 streaming the games is the reason why this is being brought up 😂. It doesn't matter if you stream your games, with the intent to use it as evidence that you're not cheating, if you never have a camera behind you filming your monitors activity and setup 😂. It's like me saying hey guys, I promise that I'm not wearing slacks right now, while only filming myself above my torso.
Any comments on cheating by using engine during speedrun games? I love Danyas educational content and respect his level of play, however i cant get behind having engine run in the background during any type of competitive enviroment, especially without consent by the opponent.
Another cheating streamer? Surprise, he also mentioned all sus streamers. Hikarus case is different, hes a super GM. If Hikaru is cheating results wouldnt be so different, but that doesn't make it right.
Man these GMs living in rooms with NOTHING in them wtf! They must be starving, because wow: No posters, no shelves, no chairs or something to make the room more comfortable.
I'm sure Danya is making good money. He streams regularly, commentates on big tournaments, does coaching, makes RUclips videos, and has also published books. I'm sure he is one of the richest GMs out there.
Based on what? The best 'evidence' Kramnik has produced, are 1. That he suggested a candidate move that was a strong move according to the engine, but did not appear intuitive to humans, then played something else. 2. That he referred to the engine analysis during a game against someone much lower rated, during an educational game. For point 1, so what? If you play literally thousands of games Then, you are bound to have occasions where you consider all sorts of random moves. Inevitably a few of them will actually be good moves, it's only because he was streaming that anyone else even knew what he was considering. For point 2, given that he was openly using an engine for analysis immediately after games for the benefit of his viewers, it is completely plausible that he turned on the analysis a little early when the game was effectively won. The rest is just Kramniks own personal speculation about how a cheater would play compared to an honest player.
i think it’s just a tad absurd that you can remember exactly what you were thinking second by second on a random move on a random game 2 years ago (bc8) no sane persons buying that
I don't think it's that strange, dude. This guy plays like 100 blitz games every week, I'm sure he's very self-aware in why he would play a certain move. Also, you think it's absurd for him to remember the idea, but then you want him to remember entire variations? How does that work?
I don't think this is the case. He may remember the position vaguely, but he is probably just trying to reconstruct his thought process based on the footage. You know what is absurd though? Going back 2 years to find a clip of him mentioning (not playing) a move that is hard to spot. If you play chess regularly (and he does more that 99.9% of the chess community), there will be tons of cases where you consider a move for a split second and quickly disregard it and it ends up being the best move because of a very deep reason that you could not discover in a blitz game. For most of us, that will just be in our mind. As a chess streamer, he mentions these sorts of ideas to the chat.

Third monitor, disconnected and on the floor during room tour, I wonder if he sets up his third monitor to the right during title Tuesday for stockfish purposes. Why would you have a random third monitor sitting on the floor like that just for room tour...
Because he may use it at any moment. Just watch his own video.
@@vladislavkucher2718 yea , he may use it of course any time when he feels like to cheat
when it’s personal that’s the first thing they say is it’s not personal but use your name for clout or whatever the reason but there are great chess players like you and then there are clowns too and clowns are funny
At this rate, Magnus is next 😂
I wish people would just learn some stats, rather than say " oh the guy in the 99 percentile is beating 99 of his opponents" yeah thats what the stats show lol
Stats is one of those things that seem easy but most people, including myself, cannot grasp
if he says he is not accusing then he is not why are we accusing him of accusing. just place a camera behind like in tournaments and do a stream that is.. assuming he dosent have the beads in ofc.
Sue him!
I really do not think you have anything to prove. I have no doubt that you are not cheating.
just explain why Bc8 was interesting. End of.
Methinks Becky Harris doth protest too much.
You are great Daniel …….that Russian is not so great.
He's definitely checking something other than the game or chat during his games. Very suspect. I can't look at Daniel the same way anymore.
Thanks for posting this, though it pains me to watch. Kramnik sucks.
4:13 streaming the games is the reason why this is being brought up 😂. It doesn't matter if you stream your games, with the intent to use it as evidence that you're not cheating, if you never have a camera behind you filming your monitors activity and setup 😂. It's like me saying hey guys, I promise that I'm not wearing slacks right now, while only filming myself above my torso.
Wouldn't it be easier and faster for Kramnik to list the people he *doesn't* think are cheating. . . . if, indeed, there are any such persons.
Any comments on cheating by using engine during speedrun games? I love Danyas educational content and respect his level of play, however i cant get behind having engine run in the background during any type of competitive enviroment, especially without consent by the opponent.
Kramnik is making Chess a joke to the outside world.
Alex Kramnik Jones
Alex spoke sense from time to time.
Expect Alex Jones is like 95% right about everything he's said. Try harder clown
@@bobbymurdoch4678 Not from "time to time" but most of the time.
Nah. Alex was almost always right, unlike this has been clown.
@@hypercubemaster2729 almost always right ? lol
Danya, stop cheating
Another cheating streamer? Surprise, he also mentioned all sus streamers. Hikarus case is different, hes a super GM. If Hikaru is cheating results wouldnt be so different, but that doesn't make it right.
Man these GMs living in rooms with NOTHING in them wtf! They must be starving, because wow: No posters, no shelves, no chairs or something to make the room more comfortable.
That's a big who cares. Plenty of people just don't care to decorate
probably just his stream room lol i’m sure the rest of his house is fine
You certainly dont make any money just from being a GM! Very few super super GM’s make any level of money
I'm sure Danya is making good money. He streams regularly, commentates on big tournaments, does coaching, makes RUclips videos, and has also published books. I'm sure he is one of the richest GMs out there.
I do believe Kramnik is right and you did cheat in some games. After all, he is a world CHAMPION.
you're trolling right?
Being a World Champion is irrelevant to this case. What an incredibly dumb comment.
@@diamondhyena5631 Not trolling at all and am nott saying Danya cheats always, but just in some games.
That would be like people believing Magnus and Hikaru and their insinuations.
Based on what? The best 'evidence' Kramnik has produced, are 1. That he suggested a candidate move that was a strong move according to the engine, but did not appear intuitive to humans, then played something else. 2. That he referred to the engine analysis during a game against someone much lower rated, during an educational game.
For point 1, so what? If you play literally thousands of games Then, you are bound to have occasions where you consider all sorts of random moves. Inevitably a few of them will actually be good moves, it's only because he was streaming that anyone else even knew what he was considering. For point 2, given that he was openly using an engine for analysis immediately after games for the benefit of his viewers, it is completely plausible that he turned on the analysis a little early when the game was effectively won.
The rest is just Kramniks own personal speculation about how a cheater would play compared to an honest player.
i think it’s just a tad absurd that you can remember exactly what you were thinking second by second on a random move on a random game 2 years ago (bc8) no sane persons buying that
He restated what was said back then
he didn’t say anything no variations nothing
he was 100% looking at the engine
I don't think it's that strange, dude. This guy plays like 100 blitz games every week, I'm sure he's very self-aware in why he would play a certain move. Also, you think it's absurd for him to remember the idea, but then you want him to remember entire variations? How does that work?
I don't think this is the case. He may remember the position vaguely, but he is probably just trying to reconstruct his thought process based on the footage. You know what is absurd though? Going back 2 years to find a clip of him mentioning (not playing) a move that is hard to spot. If you play chess regularly (and he does more that 99.9% of the chess community), there will be tons of cases where you consider a move for a split second and quickly disregard it and it ends up being the best move because of a very deep reason that you could not discover in a blitz game. For most of us, that will just be in our mind. As a chess streamer, he mentions these sorts of ideas to the chat.
cheating is OK when cheater is nice guy...lol
