Kramnik should be held accountable for making Danya's life hell the past year. Not blaming him for what has happened but this bullying has to stop. It was clear to me and many others that he started attacking Danya because he was a "Russian boy" who did not defend him when Hikaru mocked Kramnik. I'm really upset now so maybe not making much sense.
If you're not blaming him, then you shouldn't hold him accountable.
Kramnik has accused of online cheating virtually every grandmaster bar some of the top 10 and none in the community gives Kramnik much weight on this topic.
>> Kramnik should be held accountable for making Danya's life hell the past year
OP is not blaming him specifically for Danya's death. Irrespective of that, Kramnik is behaving like a total cunt and treated Danya like absolute shit for no reason beyond his own pathetic delusions.
Naroditsky isn't even the youngest person Kramnik has bullied: he's doxxed fucking children and accused them of cheating.
I watched Hikaru's YouTube video this morning and it's clear that Kramnik's accusations were getting to all of his victims. Naroditsky was giving Kramnik's opinion weight, whether he took his own life, or passed of other causes.
So yes, Kramnik needs to be shunned and frozen out of the chess world and any decent company for the way he's behaved.
I'm sure he said bad things about Danya, and even now he's protecting himself when he should be just sorry for what terrible thing has happened, but generally Danya was more liked than Kramnik, so he can't be responsible / accountable for something he doesn't have power over (Danya's life).
If you are famous, you will have haters, it's part of the deal.
I agree with the crowd who say that mental health issues should be taken seriously instead of kept under the rug.
I'm heartbroken. It's been a few years since I met him in person but loved watching him on his streams. He was such a ray of light beloved by all. Like others I noted with alarm his appearance and strange behavior the past few months. Hope his family finds peace.
Congrats to Ding but brutal for Nepo. Had a winning position in game 12, and rushed that move in game 14 when Rc3? would have been winning. Winning the candidates tournament twice is such a huge feat, not sure if he can win again to challenge.
Focus on being fulfilled. Learn to surround yourself with people who love you. Have a rich and varied life.
What is excellence at work really worth in terms of utility? So you don't make VP or CTO or something. Think about what it is you really really want out of life.
An inserted translation of the literal meaning might have been allowed, since the rules also say (ISTR) that this is an English-language website.
Colloquialise that from the formal exact "Til we meet again" to be a bit more informal (because that can still be read as "...in Heaven"), and you'd get something like
"Do svidaniya (=See you later), Igor, and thank you for Nginx"
...which probably would have been much less likely to make half the readers start to tink he'd died.
I can sympathize. I had a seed fall into my eye while out on a walk and it wouldn't come out. Had to to to the ophthalmologist. She did local drops and took it out with forceps. It was uncomfortable and scary but she did a great job at calming me down and doing it quickly. I do think eye doctors have this kind of thing down and folks needn't worry anymore.
