Nihal Sarin is the only prominent GM Iāve seen blame Kramnik. Even if he didnāt use his name.

Right.
Itās a sad story. He wasnāt even 30.
I donāt blame Kramnik for this suicide. I just say heās a C.

Seems a little extreme. Some have compared Magnus to Kramnik with the cheating allegations, but Niemann did cheat, so I donāt think itās the same.
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.
Insanity. Kramnik won that WC. I dislike him, but he won. The idea that a game that is focused on destroying your opponent should be āa place for kindness and inclusionā is amusingly silly.

I agree. Fischer has said worse.
Well, I think the point here is that your opponent should beat your mind on the board, not your soul.
Candidates tournament seems pretty open.
Hikaru
Caruana
Girl
Pragg
4 guys Iāve never heard of.
Itās now or never for Hikaru. I think his wife is pregnant, so not great timing. I wonder if heāll retire if he doesnāt win.
I never wouldāve seen that queen sac. And even seeing it, I couldnāt have finished that endgame. lol.

Karjakin is the 2nd most nauseating chess player, right behind Kramnik. That was a great day in the chess world.
The candidates tournament starts March 28th. Will be a bit of a boring championship if Pragg wins. Caruana has a chance. By far his best chance. Same with Hikaru.
Pragg is a boring player and person but I like him because heās unattractive, humble and grew up poor.

I agree with all of that. I found Kasparov vs Karpov boring. Iād find Hikaru vs Caruana boring. I find two competitors from the same country competing to be boring. Thankfully, Russian dominance is long gone.
Humpy Koneru has withdrawn from the womenās candidates. The tournament is in Cyprus. Too close to Lebanon and Syria.
Sheās taking some heat. I donāt think Iād go either.
