This coward. Blames everyone else for not speaking up but constantly does everything he can to silence the voices that actually do

Daniel Naroditsky's mother said her son had been tormented by online accusations that he was cheating... Full aricle here: foxnews.com/us/us-chess-gr…

Just to add my 2 cents. I think and in my opinion Kramnik's response to Daniel's passing was cold and heartless. I didn't want to say anything in the beginning because it is not my place and Vlad has always been great towards me but things have gotten too far. In my personal view what was done and happened to Naroditsky was just shockingly and disturbingly evil and horrific. You wouldn't wish that to happen to your worst enemy. Let's say for a moment that Danya cheated (which I never believed). Would it be worth it to ruin a beautiful young life over a game? What was his soul worth? @VBkramnik , are you done? Maybe its not too late to just stop and fix/make things better. You are a living legend to this game. The chess world is not your enemy.

MARCH TOGETHER! Request FIDE ban Vladimir Kramnik, and revoke his titles/norms, per ethics standards - change.org/p/request-fide…. THIS IS THE LEAST THING WE CAN DO. THIS IS JUST THE START THE CHESS WORLD WILL UNITE AND JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED!

You were more than just a friend — you were like a brother to me. I’m gonna miss you so much. R.I.P. Legend.

@EmilSutovsky @AnnaCramling REMOVE THE PRESTIGE OF KRAMINIK!!!!!! THIS IS WHAT HE CARES ABOUT ONLY!!!! - HIS PRESTIGE!!!!!

2 sentences about Kramnik and long paragraphs about ”friends that didn’t help”. I am in disbelief about this tweet. Please @EmilSutovsky and @FIDE_chess do something about Vladimir Kramnik. Your actions now will be remembered from the chess world for years to come. Do everything in your power to make sure justice is served. For Daniel Naroditsky, and all other people who become victims of cyber-bullying.

Amount of love given to Danya post-mortem is unprecedented. I can't recall anything of the kind. But here is the problem - where all of you were when Danya was alive and unwell? I am not talking now about stepping in when he was accused. Although it is a separate important

Words don't feel sufficient. I still don't want to believe it 💔 Thank you so much Danya for our blitz sessions, our late night calls, for sharing the mic with me during commentary, for the laughs, and for teaching me so much. You were always a beacon of light. We all miss you.

"It's a great loss. It's very sad for all of us that somebody who was such a resource to the chess community and also had a universally high approval rating from everybody he met was led to the place that he was." @MagnusCarlsen on the passing of Daniel Naroditsky.

"He was such a fine, gentle, funny, multi-talented human. Life isn't fair. I've never met anyone who loves chess as much as him and is so passionate. It just feels like chess is a slightly less bright place today. I'm going to focus on the many, many wonderful memories he left us with." @DavidHowellGM ❤️

In watching the clip below of Danya's last stream and hearing the pain in his voice, how deeply the baseless accusations affected him, I am left so mad at what we all allowed to happen right in front of us. It's time to stop worrying about the backlash. I am calling on the FIDE EDC to remove Vladimir Kramnik from the FIDE record books, revoke his title, and disqualify his world championship. Chess is one of the most beloved games in the world and should be a place for kindness and inclusion. It should be unilaterally unacceptable to use a platform that Chess has given you to bully, harass, and slander a colleague. What Kramnik has done to David Navara, Hikaru, and Danya, and others can not be tolerated. It is up to our community and the governing body to set an example that this type of behavior will have consequences. Make it known loud and clear that Chess stands against these hateful acts. If you do them intentionally and maliciously there will be no place for you in our game. FIDE and it's EDC must establish clear policies moving forward around the safety of it's players both in person and digitally. The events leading up to this tragedy happened in broad daylight over the last 18 months. They could have been stopped. Nothing like this can ever be allowed to happen again.

You can block all of us, Vlad - but not the truth. And we know the truth! @VBkramnik

Sadly Daniel Naroditsky was bullied by @VBkramnik until he took his own life at the young age of 29. Vladimir Kramnik must be held accountable for this.

We are deeply saddened by the unexpected passing of Grandmaster Daniel Naroditsky. Daniel was not only a friend of the Saint Louis Chess Club, but a gifted player, educator, and beloved pillar of the chess community. His passion for the game and commitment to teaching inspired

x.com/VBkramnik/stat… Too high price paid, but if I was the only person shouting about obvious long term problems of Danya becoming alarming, requiring urgent measures from people around, while "friends" only cared about hiding it and erase evidence, its rotten to the core

@VBkramnik I have one question for you. How do you sleep at night?

Kramnik is a disgrace to the chess community

In light of today's events, should every chess player at the World Rapid tournament in New York City wear jeans tomorrow??

BRILLIANT MOVE!!!

@realPrakharjee @VBkramnik Yes, you are right, he is a full-time liar, but I did something wrong, not to sandbag rating, but to play Hikaru and try to beat him, but I lost games, fast if I didn't match him, which is something I wont do from now on <3

@VBkramnik My dear community knows I NEVER do it to lose rating, I just try to play Hikaru, as he is my idol and I have lost 81 games to 0, my dream is to beat him. I understand, losing games just to get him is wrong. I will from now on not.
