God I’ve never been so happy to not be on twitter after seeing all the BS Kramnik has been saying on there. What a disgraceful pathetic shell of a man.

My uncle just texted me this…I really wish I lived in the world of non-chess players where the cupcake gambit was the “latest controversy” :/

On one hand, it’s fascinating to see everyone so publically going through the anger stage of grief at the same time. On the other hand, it’s probably actually very unhealthy especially for his actual closest friends. TLDR, everyone put the phones down for a little bit and just grieve.

I just saw the Gotham video this morning and then the stream from Hikaru, and even they don’t know quite what happened yet. Honestly I think it’s a little unhealthy that so many people so close to him have come to the internet so soon to talk about everything in the height of their grief. 3/3

Is speculation surrounding his death likely the truth? Probably, more or less. I will say, I am biased in thinking this b/c my cousin died in the exact same circumstances a couple years ago. All I’m saying is we are going to feel silly if it comes out that he had a brain aneurysm or something. 2/3

I just wanna preface, I get that everyone is upset right now and probably a little irrational because of grief. But the amount of hooplah about Kramnik is a bit insane. Was everything he said terrible? Yes. But we still don’t know the circumstances of Danyas death yet. Even his friends don’t. 1/3

I will forever remember this moment. The way he sits there with him so respectfully.

When I first learned chess, the #1 person I was told to watch was Daniel Naroditsky. If you ask the majority of my club who their favorite streamer is, they will say him. The impact this will have on chess is inconceivable. When it comes to educational videos his were superior.

There is so much to unpack in that clip of Gukesh beating Magnus. Magnus slamming the table and somehow adding time to his clock, him starting to reset the board and putting the pieces in the wrong spot before just giving up. I just love the drama man.

I’m reading this book “Magnolia Wu Unfolds It All” by Chanel Miller. It’s about a girl whose family works at a laundromat and she keeps all the socks people lose. She’s trying to return them to everyone and the first person she finds plays chess in Washington Square Park 🥺 what a lovely chess cameo

Personally, nothing would make me feel more stupid than trying to cheat in chess 🤷🏻♀️ how embarrassing
Just caught up on the Dr Lupo chess cheating scandal and my oh my. Such a shame. And such a fool to think you won't get caught.
Yes, chess can make you feel stupid. Losing at chess sucks. But there is NEVER an excuse to cheat.
