I’m surprised that the news makes me sad. People die young. It happens. And I wasn’t a big fan or anything.
Couldn’t Kasparov croaked instead? Like choke on a chess piece or the CIA money he touch more frequently than chessboard.
Kasparov is only 19 years old according to his own calender, it would be a greater tragedy
Here’s a video where a twitch viewer payed GM Naroditsky to do the anime Chika dance.

Did Kramnik do it?
The way that ghoul is acting on twitter, he probably thinks himself that he’s at fault
Holy shit his take is that it was suicide because of the cheating allegations being correct? That’s fucking wildly inappropriate, someone is dead. I was just making a lighthearted jab at Kramnik being obsessed with him.
I hear that in chess, the GMs “try” to keep it civil and make accusations and complaints vague. Which means this was so egregious that it made Hikaru break the facade and outright say that Kramnik can rot in hell
the majority of chess GMs i know of seem like completely insufferable people
Becoming a GM is one of those things where you not only have to be naturally predisposed to that skillset, but also spend every waking moment from childhood to adulthood thinking about Chess to get there. So it sort of selects for a type of rich, privileged, extremely determined person who doesn’t know anything about the world outside of 64 black and white squares.
In general, you know. I’m sure some of them are cool.
In a way this is why chess is still segregated. The women didn’t want to put up with the dickhead men.

The only good chess GM I know about is Botvinnik.
An aptronym if ever I saw one.
I mean, yeah. Kramnik’s initial cheating accusations turned into a fixation that had all the characteristics of a harassment campaign. Even if Danya cheated (I don’t know one way or another), Kramnik’s actions are totally unhinged.

RIP, he helped introduce a lot of people to the joy of the game.
death by putting all the chess pieces he captured up his butt
The Chess buttplug meme was Hans Niemann.
no it was this guy too i helped
Apparently there is a subreddit called anarchochristianchess which was started by some transphobe upset that /r/anarhychess would occasionally go through phases of femboy-posting. But the subreddit owner left it untended so someone was able to get reddit to transfer ownership on the grounds that it was an abandoned subreddit, and now it is a pro-trans chess subreddit mostly populated by trans furry shitposts and dunking on the original owner who is sad that his space has fallen to godless commies.
However, my read on the subreddit’s politics is that they’re more likely reddit liberals
It was Kramnik
