Not only that, Kramnik physically stopped the fans who were trying to get autographs or pictures with Uzbeki players both before and after the match. Meanwhile Indian players have been the nicest to fans and yesterday Gukesh even signed a chessboard for a fan when he was at his board and match was about to begin.
not all players are like magnus gukesh pragg. if your coach doesn't want their players to be disturbed it's their choice. it's a highly mental game. fan service comes second.
Sagar is such a great guy and humble dude man. You know what he did on the stream? He showed childhood photos of Indian team youngsters camp with Kramnik. He showed many such photos with kid Guki and prag in frame with Kramnik. My man also posted a reel on how they have grown up and a current footage with them playing in the olympiad and Kramnik watching their games. Even in the commentary ny man never stopped saying good words about Kramnik and his contribution to chess. ❤ I love Sagar for this reason❤
@@afuzzycreature8387 honestly if he did it in a neutral game, he wont get this much hate. But Kramnik does it not in first 8 rounds, but only on Gukesh's board on his game against Kramnik's own team in probably the most critical round of the tournament. Just screams of mind games. He tried to mentally disturb the kids, probably even succeeded to some extent. Terrible behavior imo from someone who is supposed to be a legend of the game.
@@afuzzycreature8387 The chance he's right is NOT 1 in 100. It's way lower. He's just scared of all the young players who have learned playing online, unlike him, AND HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND IT. He doesn't get that nowadays you can play a hundred games a day and that accelerates your learning.

I feel like Levy has recently parted with any sympathy he may have previously held for Hans and Kramnik - they messed about and found out, treat Levy with disrespect and reap the "rewards". We all should be inspired by him to take less disrespect in our lives.

Hanses attitude throughout the whole ordeal made his situation way worse than it had to be; it's very telling, that a man who sees apologizing for previous cheating as "pointless" - as stated by Hans in the SCC interview - won't be treated favourably in the public eye or by his peers.

One day Kramnik saw two players walking to play a game. He noticed next to one player there was a man who was following him around and even sat next to the player while they played. Kramnik ran to fide to report this violation. Here is the official statement of Fide: "FIDE carefully investigates all accusations of cheating. When presented with the accusation of [redacted] getting advice from another person and even had the accuser point it out to one of our fair play representatives. We have conluded that there was no cheating it was just the player's shadow."
I'm done listening to Kramnik's nonsense. He's crossing into "weird guy who yells about chemtrails and lizard people in front of convenience stores" levels of unhinged.
Chemtrails are indeed a thing as I had to begrudgingly admit when I did a deep dive into the topic. At this point Kramnik seems more like a flat earther to me.
@@adityachawla7523 go see sagar video he made small video on kremnick and kramnik himself talk to sagar very often and sagar mentioned he gone to meet him and he ask that why u now not come to india as he trained many 2000 to 2010 GM in india and has lot training camp including vidit who playing in indian team trained by kramnick so he lived in india and he know how much skill indian player hold and arjun can maybe cheat in one game but his whole journey is not cheat, and all false accusation is that indian tema loss there cool and lose next matches hence uzbek gold but indian player will win
One of the wildest things about Kramnik's recent behaviour to me is: He's been nonsensically accused of cheating before when Topalov said he had a computer in the bathroom at their World Championship match He KNOWS what it's like to be at the other end of this kind of nonsense. So for him to be doing this kind of stuff is insane
I think this is somehow his way of dealing with that experience. It was done to him, and therefore he feels it’s ok to do to others. Kind of like the boomers who will try to say corporal punishment should be legal in schools because their teachers used to beat them and they turned out “just fine”. It’s an incredibly toxic but very common attitude.
@@Updog89 Where are you going after you die? What happens next? Have you ever thought about that? Repent today and give your life to Jesus Christ to obtain eternal salvation. Tomorrow may be too late my brethen😢. Hebrews 9:27 says "And as it is appointed unto man once to die, but after that the judgement
As a rule of thumb, if Kramnik says anything, ignore him. I have more respect for a random 200 on the internet, than Kramnik. Him being a former world champion should be meaningless at this point.
The only way Norway has a solid chance of winning an Olympiad is if the top 3 players in the world get to play, Magnus, Drunk Magnus and Sleeping Magnus.
I'm going to merge the comments I have made under another channel since I think it's important, albeit lengthy. Kramnik doesn't have any point despite his fair minded and objective demeanor and rhetorics. The FIDE rule 12.8 allows phones authorised by arbiters which was done for ChessBase India's phones (ChessBase India is an old channel, which although is Indian is not affiliated to Indian players, and who has been using phones for all kinds of tournaments for a long time even if Indians don't play there for capturing multiple angles since they don't have budget for so many actual cameras and if not budget restrictions, it is for ease of convenience). Additionally, there are multiple other phones of other nationalities' photographers as well in the hall from round 1 itself, all of which are authorized by arbiters. Also, by Kramnik's logic, we can reverse accuse Kramnik in that case and any team saying they are also getting transmissions since as I've mentioned, Sagar and ChessBase India are not the only people with phone cameras in the hall and we don't know which one of them are corrupted. Many different photographers from different nationalities have them due to budget restrictions, battery issues, ease of convenience, and overheating issues. If rule is to be challenged then Kramnik should challenge the rule before the tournament and not saying baseless things like it violated the rule during the tournament and even more especially during a crucial match which can shake opponent's focus when no violation took place, when he doesn't know the rule 12.8 itself. BTW, even cameras can transmit information nowadays and if phones can have in-built stockfish to calculate the moves without sim cards, then so can modified processors in cameras if enough funding and resources are put in. So, remove any electronics, I guess. Where does the paranoia end ? It's a nothing burger which is typical of Kramnik nowadays who makes a fool out of himself every now and then now, even if his chess contributions are great. Danya explained it perfectly in the FIDE chess stream minutes later Kramnik's interview if you listened to him, who was understandably annoyed with Kramnik and even Judith Polgar seemed mildly annoyed.
I think Kramnik was trying to mess with Indian team's mindset so that his players can somehow win......well unfortunately it didn't happen.....I just want Indian team to win gold medal and smile at his 😈 face. Chessbase India is one of the best channels in the world of chess. Respect to Levi for dismissing this childish act of Kramnik. India will win this olympiad🎉
Somehow win? The Uzbekistan team are the reigning champions of the last Olympiad. If you watched the match between Uzbekistan and India, it was clear that India was playing conservatively, aiming for a draw instead of risking a loss. A draw was all they needed, so they avoided taking risks on all boards. Up to this point, India had defeated every other team, but yesterday they played cautiously. Arjun offered a draw three times during his match, which shows India was focused on securing a draw, not going for a win. You could say India may win "somehow," but Uzbekistan wins convincingly when their opponents open up the game. India, having learned from the last Olympiad, didn't take risks against Uzbekistan, likely due to the fear of losing. As for Arjun missing Vokhidov's blunder, it was likely because his mindset was focused on drawing from the beginning. A win was never part of his plan.
@@Silent_wraith441playing conservatively? It's called playing smart....and If anyone who came with the mindset of straight draws from move 1 it was literally uzbeks...they even prepared the board 4 for a straight draw line with white and you still have the audacity to say India was playing for a draw? Why the hell would India push unnecessary for the win with 2 points lead if uzbeks are not taking chances with white on board 4 despite needing a win against India to go for gold As of Arjun according to all broadcasts, experts and engines he was the one pushing all the time and should have won yesterday but played one of his worse games in this Olympiad Missing several chances and he only started to offer draws once he missed that huge blunder and position fizzled out to be a dead draw....of course he wouldn't like to play more at that point cause he knows he got to play the United states tomorrow in the most important match of this tournament and would like to rest instead And fear of losing? Buddy this is the super team of the tournament and no one except the usa comes even close... previous Olympiad was great for you guys as 16yo gukesh succumbed to pressure and handed you guys a win from winning position but that was it dont get ahead of yourself...we lost that Olympiad because of making 3 teams which prevented us from fielding our one best team which isn't the case now and let me tell you we were onto blood this time and no offence but we were not even looking at uzbeks as a threat but usa and china.....I hope you dont mind this last paragraph but I felt its necessary to convey whats the actual sentiment here in India is this time..we were going for gold anyways irrespective of who comes in front
@@erdeadman9954 Only the 4th board played for a draw because Uzbekistan's 4th board player was their weakest. However, Gukesh and Arjun were clearly playing for a draw, despite having the advantage of playing with white. Think about it-why would Uzbekistan play for a draw? They needed a win, while a draw was only beneficial for the Indian team. Uzbekistan was aiming for victory, especially on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd boards. If you watch those games, you'll see exactly what I’m talking about.
@@Silent_wraith441U know, what's the simplest and shortest reply? When you're winning, you don't need to take risks. If Arjun would've pressed correctly, we would've have won too. If Uzbekistan team was in our position, they would've done the same
@@rishabhshuklaa1 You're right. But if Nodirbek Abdusattorov had played with white, he would have tried to beat Gukesh. Gukesh has always lost to Nodirbek when playing with the black pieces. So, if we were in your position, we would have at least won on one board.
Before putting that phone for recording the device were checked by Fide official.....they don't Sim, apps only camera. And that hall is full of other journalist recording with fide approved phones. I don't know what's wrong with this guy.
After months of diplomatic approach, it's great to see that you are so done with Kramnik. That's how this kind of behaviour should be treated, the time for giving him the benefit of the doubt is over.
The funniest part of the whole Kramnik thing was his reasoning. He said in the interview that there was no SIM in the phone but it did have bluetooth connectivity and that could be used to transmit. Next sentence he says they should use cameras instead of phones....which also has bluetooth connectivity lmao. Old man is losing his grip on things.
what about magnus reasoning? when magnus lose with white in classical vs hans niemann, he accuse him of cheating with no evidence. now magnus lose with white in classical, why are there no cheating accusations?
@@boogachpovarIt's 2024 cameras can have apps installed in it and they work on a version of Linux OS. If you are gonna use a mobile device to cheat, a camera is not different in that aspect. The mobile OS was originally meant for cameras.
Because Hans was cheater, it was already proved in post match analysis interview of him. Magnus loses yesterday which proves him being human and not an engine which destroys you in every game.
Please cover Ediz Gurel of Türkiye he’s currently undefeated at the Olympiad age 15 with only 2 draws and has gained 23 elo reaching top 13 amongst Juniors!
Levy is my favorite chess player, his personally and understanding of how to communicate to us through RUclips really makes me appreciate him. Also I don’t think I’ve learned more from anyone else. Just wanted to put that out there. If I had to choose between meeting you or magnus it be you all day my guy. 💯🤞
Yooo Levy, you're the reason i reached 1300 on the chess website and was able to won my school's chess tournament, i really liked your opening videos and was able to fully master the caro kann and the london. Thank you man
I'm an Indian, but on day 1 of the broadcast, I was very surprised that captains are allowed to sit so close to their players ( eye gestures, sighing loudly. Eg. Vidit vs Memyderov.. Raja looked so disappointed when Vidit was clearly winning and a sigh of relief when his Teammate escaped. Even this in my opinion is external influence. Don't put the captains in that position they are human and they might/ will react like humans would. ), And there were mobile phones all over the hall. I understand Airplane mode and all but who's monitoring the 50th or the 100th board?? AND oh ya, India is not cheating, it's just a weird interpretation of the mobile phone rule and no tournament I played allows this..
There is no end to this nonsense ,, you can almost accuse anyone of anything , for example I saw kramnik roaming around the players board , so I can say that through tapping his foot he can relay the moves to his players , there is absolutely no end to this
People get confused between the capabilities of cameras and phones like it's the 1990s or 2000s. Most of the cameras now can have apps installed and work on an OS. Without a sim a camera is equivalent to a phone if someone wants to cheat using that.
@@sahilbhardwaj441😅 I use all my high end old phones as cameras, i remove most apps in the process. Anyway SagarShah, who I've met and played against online and is the reason I went all in into chess during covid has clarified- these phones have no apps, only used for camera and thoroughly checked. I'm just humorously worried that this time Kramnik has a point. Lmao... Anyway he did it to disturb the Indian contingent that's for sure...
@@NeelinmactImagine. Critical moment when there is a tactic, get up from your seat and go somewhere. That is enough😊, the player already knows there's some imbalance- his coach confirming it is enough.
Levi, can you do a series where you watch an event live and in real time commentate with the energy of a UFC fights please. I feel like you could start a new community of chess spectating
This is actually the worst thing that he could do . Because of Indian playes get to know this they may get disheartened by such arguments and may lose momentum. Such a foul act . Kick Kramnik out pls .
Kramnik only complained against India. Phones are at every table in one way, shape or form. He wanted to get under the skin of the Indian GMs and I dare say he succeeded.
According to "IDIOT kramnik's" logic journalists should be not allowed 😂 and I am here thinking after all these things why captains should be allowed near playing area.
Thank you Levy. Apart from your channel every other channel is hurling dirt on chessbase India without any proof. It means a lot that you use your big channel for knocking some sense on the audience.
As someone who played in the Olympaid I can tell you Kramnik is indeed someone who isnt freindly and seems angry. I met Giri, Indian players, Ding and many others were all freindly and would talk with anyone.
Yep. Makes sense too, in case of medical emergency. Vugar Gashimov back in 2011 needed immediate help at the board after having a seizure. Most won't have heard of Gashimov but he was a very promising player, taken too soon.
Nice to see you back on track, Levy. The sick (ha ha) reviews were commendable, but the energy difference is so noticeable when you are in full shape again.
Phones were allowed by fide themselves as a camera, multiple media used phones for recording and the grandpa is only now seeing them. Kramnik aka Vladimir Delulu Kramnik.
Poland vs Kazakhstan medal match ups happen in ice hockey, it seems! Keep the asides coming, Levy. Your chess coverage is the best but here I learn so much more than just chess!

@@adityachawla7523 go see sagar video he made small video on kremnick and kramnik himself talk to sagar very often and sagar mentioned he gone to meet him and he ask that why u now not come to india as he trained many 2000 to 2010 GM in india and has lot training camp including vidit who playing in indian team trained by kramnick so he lived in india and he know how much skill indian player hold and arjun can maybe cheat in one game but his whole journey is not cheat, and all false accusation is that indian tema loss there cool and lose next matches hence uzbek gold but indian player will win
@@SUNs1591why arjun cheat in one game statement? That guy without elite chance grinding his ratings to top
Kramnik is going to run out of Chess players, commentators and journalists of cheating and then he'll switch to Ronaldos and Djokovics of the world😂
And he keeps calling them "The Indian team"
Kramnik is Washed, he just doesn't know it yet🎅🎅🐱
1:34 you called Kramnik dumb
Nothing wrong here..
Well dumb is the nicest thing you can say considering it's kramnik on the receiving end
Trust me dude...levy was being generous
Dumb and delusional
@@martinsonnleitner5516 yes you are absolutely correct.i a indian
Kramnik thinks that fide is unable to track mobiles and other things and he is the only one to find them
at this point Kramnik shouldn't be let anywhere near a competitive event. Constant complaining about nothing, always making a scene, etc.
One of the wildest things about Kramnik's recent behaviour to me is: He's been nonsensically accused of cheating before when Topalov said he had a computer in the bathroom at their World Championship match
He KNOWS what it's like to be at the other end of this kind of nonsense.
So for him to be doing this kind of stuff is insane
I think this is somehow his way of dealing with that experience. It was done to him, and therefore he feels it’s ok to do to others. Kind of like the boomers who will try to say corporal punishment should be legal in schools because their teachers used to beat them and they turned out “just fine”. It’s an incredibly toxic but very common attitude.
well maybe kramnik actually cheated so thats why he is feeling that way

its not very good to talk to your future coach like this
But the offer expired 😢

No matter how low you set the bar, Kramnik keeps setting it lower.
As a rule of thumb, if Kramnik says anything, ignore him. I have more respect for a random 200 on the internet, than Kramnik. Him being a former world champion should be meaningless at this point.
Absolutely true.
How could you say something so controversial yet. So true
@@brycepeddicord6763 the unfortunate thing is it's not controversial at all considering his behaviour in the past few months.
Levy's on here claiming cameras "cost thousands of dollars, maybe more", and you think Kramnik is the one who should be ignored?
The guy who dethroned Gary Kasparov is now being remembered for this. Sad
The only way Norway has a solid chance of winning an Olympiad is if the top 3 players in the world get to play, Magnus, Drunk Magnus and Sleeping Magnus.
2:52 illuminati confirmed, it's a chess scandal
Hahahaha
Wtf is wrong with yall bro how the fk u even spotted that??
I'm going to merge the comments I have made under another channel since I think it's important, albeit lengthy. Kramnik doesn't have any point despite his fair minded and objective demeanor and rhetorics. The FIDE rule 12.8 allows phones authorised by arbiters which was done for ChessBase India's phones (ChessBase India is an old channel, which although is Indian is not affiliated to Indian players, and who has been using phones for all kinds of tournaments for a long time even if Indians don't play there for capturing multiple angles since they don't have budget for so many actual cameras and if not budget restrictions, it is for ease of convenience). Additionally, there are multiple other phones of other nationalities' photographers as well in the hall from round 1 itself, all of which are authorized by arbiters.
Also, by Kramnik's logic, we can reverse accuse Kramnik in that case and any team saying they are also getting transmissions since as I've mentioned, Sagar and ChessBase India are not the only people with phone cameras in the hall and we don't know which one of them are corrupted. Many different photographers from different nationalities have them due to budget restrictions, battery issues, ease of convenience, and overheating issues. If rule is to be challenged then Kramnik should challenge the rule before the tournament and not saying baseless things like it violated the rule during the tournament and even more especially during a crucial match which can shake opponent's focus when no violation took place, when he doesn't know the rule 12.8 itself.
BTW, even cameras can transmit information nowadays and if phones can have in-built stockfish to calculate the moves without sim cards, then so can modified processors in cameras if enough funding and resources are put in. So, remove any electronics, I guess. Where does the paranoia end ?
It's a nothing burger which is typical of Kramnik nowadays who makes a fool out of himself every now and then now, even if his chess contributions are great. Danya explained it perfectly in the FIDE chess stream minutes later Kramnik's interview if you listened to him, who was understandably annoyed with Kramnik and even Judith Polgar seemed mildly annoyed.
I think Kramnik was trying to mess with Indian team's mindset so that his players can somehow win......well unfortunately it didn't happen.....I just want Indian team to win gold medal and smile at his 😈 face. Chessbase India is one of the best channels in the world of chess. Respect to Levi for dismissing this childish act of Kramnik.
India will win this olympiad🎉
Somehow win? The Uzbekistan team are the reigning champions of the last Olympiad. If you watched the match between Uzbekistan and India, it was clear that India was playing conservatively, aiming for a draw instead of risking a loss. A draw was all they needed, so they avoided taking risks on all boards. Up to this point, India had defeated every other team, but yesterday they played cautiously.
Arjun offered a draw three times during his match, which shows India was focused on securing a draw, not going for a win. You could say India may win "somehow," but Uzbekistan wins convincingly when their opponents open up the game. India, having learned from the last Olympiad, didn't take risks against Uzbekistan, likely due to the fear of losing.
As for Arjun missing Vokhidov's blunder, it was likely because his mindset was focused on drawing from the beginning. A win was never part of his plan.
@@Silent_wraith441playing conservatively? It's called playing smart....and If anyone who came with the mindset of straight draws from move 1 it was literally uzbeks...they even prepared the board 4 for a straight draw line with white and you still have the audacity to say India was playing for a draw? Why the hell would India push unnecessary for the win with 2 points lead if uzbeks are not taking chances with white on board 4 despite needing a win against India to go for gold
As of Arjun according to all broadcasts, experts and engines he was the one pushing all the time and should have won yesterday but played one of his worse games in this Olympiad Missing several chances and he only started to offer draws once he missed that huge blunder and position fizzled out to be a dead draw....of course he wouldn't like to play more at that point cause he knows he got to play the United states tomorrow in the most important match of this tournament and would like to rest instead
And fear of losing? Buddy this is the super team of the tournament and no one except the usa comes even close... previous Olympiad was great for you guys as 16yo gukesh succumbed to pressure and handed you guys a win from winning position but that was it dont get ahead of yourself...we lost that Olympiad because of making 3 teams which prevented us from fielding our one best team which isn't the case now and let me tell you we were onto blood this time and no offence but we were not even looking at uzbeks as a threat but usa and china.....I hope you dont mind this last paragraph but I felt its necessary to convey whats the actual sentiment here in India is this time..we were going for gold anyways irrespective of who comes in front
@@erdeadman9954 Only the 4th board played for a draw because Uzbekistan's 4th board player was their weakest. However, Gukesh and Arjun were clearly playing for a draw, despite having the advantage of playing with white. Think about it-why would Uzbekistan play for a draw? They needed a win, while a draw was only beneficial for the Indian team. Uzbekistan was aiming for victory, especially on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd boards. If you watch those games, you'll see exactly what I’m talking about.
@@Silent_wraith441U know, what's the simplest and shortest reply? When you're winning, you don't need to take risks. If Arjun would've pressed correctly, we would've have won too. If Uzbekistan team was in our position, they would've done the same
@@rishabhshuklaa1 You're right. But if Nodirbek Abdusattorov had played with white, he would have tried to beat Gukesh. Gukesh has always lost to Nodirbek when playing with the black pieces. So, if we were in your position, we would have at least won on one board.
Kramnik speaks for himself.
At this point, old guy kramnik's just losing all reputation he built over the years. Just be chill old man.

All do love Magnus ,he is actually the most liked player ever,so levy told nothing wrong
That Erigaisi miss hurts fr.
Before putting that phone for recording the device were checked by Fide official.....they don't Sim, apps only camera.
And that hall is full of other journalist recording with fide approved phones.
I don't know what's wrong with this guy.
Kramnik is going out of control
After months of diplomatic approach, it's great to see that you are so done with Kramnik. That's how this kind of behaviour should be treated, the time for giving him the benefit of the doubt is over.
The funniest part of the whole Kramnik thing was his reasoning. He said in the interview that there was no SIM in the phone but it did have bluetooth connectivity and that could be used to transmit. Next sentence he says they should use cameras instead of phones....which also has bluetooth connectivity lmao. Old man is losing his grip on things.
Does a digital camera also have an OS that allows installing any application? Like board recognition app, chess engine app?
what about magnus reasoning? when magnus lose with white in classical vs hans niemann, he accuse him of cheating with no evidence. now magnus lose with white in classical, why are there no cheating accusations?
@@boogachpovarIt's 2024 cameras can have apps installed in it and they work on a version of Linux OS. If you are gonna use a mobile device to cheat, a camera is not different in that aspect. The mobile OS was originally meant for cameras.
@@boogachpovaryou don't need for sending and receiving data
And yeah cameras can have OS
Because Hans was cheater, it was already proved in post match analysis interview of him. Magnus loses yesterday which proves him being human and not an engine which destroys you in every game.
Kramnik's been fully committed to the Legacy Gambit for about a year now - he's in the deep dark forest part now.
Please cover Ediz Gurel of Türkiye he’s currently undefeated at the Olympiad age 15 with only 2 draws and has gained 23 elo reaching top 13 amongst Juniors!

Levy is my favorite chess player, his personally and understanding of how to communicate to us through RUclips really makes me appreciate him. Also I don’t think I’ve learned more from anyone else. Just wanted to put that out there. If I had to choose between meeting you or magnus it be you all day my guy. 💯🤞
Yooo Levy, you're the reason i reached 1300 on the chess website and was able to won my school's chess tournament, i really liked your opening videos and was able to fully master the caro kann and the london. Thank you man
I'm an Indian, but on day 1 of the broadcast, I was very surprised that captains are allowed to sit so close to their players ( eye gestures, sighing loudly. Eg. Vidit vs Memyderov.. Raja looked so disappointed when Vidit was clearly winning and a sigh of relief when his Teammate escaped. Even this in my opinion is external influence. Don't put the captains in that position they are human and they might/ will react like humans would. ), And there were mobile phones all over the hall. I understand Airplane mode and all but who's monitoring the 50th or the 100th board?? AND oh ya, India is not cheating, it's just a weird interpretation of the mobile phone rule and no tournament I played allows this..
There is no end to this nonsense ,, you can almost accuse anyone of anything , for example I saw kramnik roaming around the players board , so I can say that through tapping his foot he can relay the moves to his players , there is absolutely no end to this
People get confused between the capabilities of cameras and phones like it's the 1990s or 2000s. Most of the cameras now can have apps installed and work on an OS. Without a sim a camera is equivalent to a phone if someone wants to cheat using that.
@@sahilbhardwaj441 but i don't think it was intended to cheat.
@@sahilbhardwaj441😅 I use all my high end old phones as cameras, i remove most apps in the process. Anyway SagarShah, who I've met and played against online and is the reason I went all in into chess during covid has clarified- these phones have no apps, only used for camera and thoroughly checked. I'm just humorously worried that this time Kramnik has a point. Lmao... Anyway he did it to disturb the Indian contingent that's for sure...
@@NeelinmactImagine. Critical moment when there is a tactic, get up from your seat and go somewhere. That is enough😊, the player already knows there's some imbalance- his coach confirming it is enough.

I still wear my Knights hoodie to every tournament I play.
This is actually the worst thing that he could do . Because of Indian playes get to know this they may get disheartened by such arguments and may lose momentum. Such a foul act . Kick Kramnik out pls .
How can someone loose a reputation like that is beyond me. Some time ago a World Champion, now a Clown.
Kramnik is getting worse
Absolutely love these recaps! They are the best to watch. Thank you for making my day!!❤❤

He's hungry lmao
Everyone but Kramnik is cheating… Kramnik sounds like a crazy chess uncle.

Yes

Thank you Levy. Apart from your channel every other channel is hurling dirt on chessbase India without any proof. It means a lot that you use your big channel for knocking some sense on the audience.
As someone who played in the Olympaid I can tell you Kramnik is indeed someone who isnt freindly and seems angry. I met Giri, Indian players, Ding and many others were all freindly and would talk with anyone.
Kramnik:- YES?

I could live a perfectly fine life and never hear that man's name again.
the rule "no phones in the playing hall" applies to PLAYERS, not OFFICIALS
Also he forgot to read ,"without the Authorization of arbitrator"
Yep. Makes sense too, in case of medical emergency. Vugar Gashimov back in 2011 needed immediate help at the board after having a seizure. Most won't have heard of Gashimov but he was a very promising player, taken too soon.
Nice to see you back on track, Levy. The sick (ha ha) reviews were commendable, but the energy difference is so noticeable when you are in full shape again.
Never thought I'd be into chess drama.. but here we are.. thanks to Hans..
Rules are the rules, no phones over the board
Phones were allowed by fide themselves as a camera, multiple media used phones for recording and the grandpa is only now seeing them. Kramnik aka Vladimir Delulu Kramnik.
it is a tragic story arc for Kramnik
Kramnik just wants attention....
