  I heard that Danya commented that you were one of the only major gm's who publicly supported him and pushed back on false accusations. Thank you for supporting him.

  I like Levys idea that the top 100 chess players should sign a petition, or even better, boycot tournaments until FIDE does something about this...

  11 months ago, on the C-squared podcast interview Danya said at around 4 minutes — "This is a sustained evil and absolutely unhinged attempt to destroy my life. And I really don’t, and you know, I’m really tired of mincing words at this point, he is trying to ruin my life, he is trying to inflict emotional harm, physical harm on me. He knows exactly what he’s doing and uh, this is one of the most wicked people I’ve ever dealt with and one of the most wicked acts I’ve dealt with, probably in my life."

  Gross behavior from Kramnik. To attack a man after his death is downright disgusting.

  May I say, Hikaru, you have class and guts. That you stood up for Danya then and do so now is VERY important. Thank you. This is a tremendous loss. I compare what Kramnik does comparable to what it would have been like for me if Nobel Laureates in my field were to accuse me of plagiarism, idea theft, or poor scholarship. It would have been soul-crushing, and very difficult to handle.  So, again, THANK YOU, Hikaru. I think your ongoing support of Danya and your continued voicing of candid opinions on Kramnik's malignant narcissism and bullying are so so important.  The younger upcoming generation of future chess superstars will benefit from your model and strong moral character (and from your f***ing amazing chess).  Peace, thoughts, and prayers for you, for Danya's memory, his friends, and his family.

  Wow. Nihal is so soft-spoken and reserved. Wouldn't have thought he would go on the record like this. Cheers to him.

  Danya was my chess coach for a little over half a year about 5 years ago. Back then, I was a measly 500... now I am 2250. I owe all of that to Danya! He was an amazing teacher and an even better person! You will be missed, but never forgotten Danya!🙌❤️🐐

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8AFJswkJIA&amp;t=2040">34:00</a> During his last stream, he pulled out a chess book from the 1850s and talked about the strategies in the book and how they compare to best strategies today. This man loved chess.
