Kramnik Hates Chess.com

@XPCultivator what a nonsense, this "old" man did not even hit 50 years and he does not drink alcohol at all since 2005 due to certain medical condition. And few months ago this "old" man defeated Jose Martinez Alcantara (aka jospem, aka speed-demon) IRL in Blitz.

jospem tried hard to prepare and he is very young and very fast, but somehow that "old" man was at least just as strong

That’s because he was a world champ. Been following him since I was a kid. I know how good he is. It's just that he isn’t as calm and collected as he used to be. He used to have the highest level patience out of any other players. This is not the man I used to know.

Basket, what xp says is true, he’s great at chess but his levels of patience and other skills lowered over the years, he’s not who he was. Don’t die on this hill

Hard to be patient when such unfair things happen in chess world. His sharp actions are reasonable in this situation, something soft won't work, no one would notice. He got attention, that's already good as first step. More things will come, we will see, I know that he has a lot of data and analysis done by professional mathematicians and statisticians and he even has a secret website with personal investigation case for each player, including AI eye-tracking heatmaps for streams (not only for Naroditsky).

You're idolizing the wrong person that's why you can't improve properly on chess just look at how serious and focused this old guy on ACCUSATIONS he forgot how to play chess seriously that's making him 🤡 in this site in other peoples perspectives

Honestly this thread is going no where. We have 2 unstoppable forces here, “people” ( I’m looking at you basket) who idolize kramnik and the other 9/10 trying to convince the 1/10 that kramnik is not in his prime anymore, and that he’s starting to pay attention to things that don’t require the amount of energy he put into it. Kramnik is a good chess player, I don’t deny, but you can only keep up that level of skill for so long.

Up to him to decide where to put energy. If he wants to defeat cheating, there's nothing wrong with that. I'm not idolizing anyone.

#431 I dare them to do a 1v1 OTB match and I'll bet danya will win to this old man

basketstorm

#432, Danya himself admitted that Kramnik is too strong for him

AlekhineEnthusiast46

I mean, Danny could catch Kramnik on an off game or Danny had a really good day. Anything is possible

I would put my money on Kramnik though. He is a very good chess player and a former world champion. How long was he world champion for again?
