I've been busy so I've forgotten to encourage my followers and all chess fans to nominate Danya for the speed run and strategy game category for the streamer awards. Use this link https://t.co/Vn0fvaOXhA Rest in speed, my friend.
The silence is deafening
As the days pass with little to no actions, I become more concerned that FIDE will be successful in it's attempt to sweep Danya's passing (and it's cause) under the rug. So far FIDE has made one statement: a call for an internal investigation. The CEO of FIDE has a message accusing Daniel's friends for his death still posted. Kramnik continues to post threats, denials, and accusations.
The silence from far too many of Danya's peers is deafening. I have attempted to reach out to multiple other players to discuss tangible ways to put pressure on FIDE moving forward and the response, in every single case, has been effectively the same "it's pointless unless Magnus joins, FIDE is too strong".
That isn't good enough. We, as a community, MUST do better to honor Danya and to prevent further tragedies. What Kramnik was allowed to do, directly under FIDE's supervision, must have repercussions. A 3rd party investigation must take place. Changes must be made for the future safety of all chess players.
We need players boycotting FIDE events until this investigation takes place and real changes are made. We need sponsors to make it clear they do not want to be associated with an organization that allows systematic failures related to harassment and abuse.
My platform is small and there is only so much I can do, if you see this tag/reach out to GM's, sponsors of upcoming tournaments, and related parties. Let your voice be heard. Let the players know that you will support them standing up to FIDE. We can not let them continue to move forward as if nothing happened.
The Naroditsky family shares the sad news of Daniel’s unexpected passing. Daniel was a talented chess player, educator, and beloved member of the chess community. We ask for privacy as the family grieves.
@TheKhelIndia The real problem? Most of these angry folks don’t actually follow chess — just the controversies. If they did, they’d know the chess world is full of some of the kindest people you’ll ever meet. ♟️
@Jay_Kapooriya @GothamChess@MeruOnX Bruv this is not a professional tournament, its more of a special friendly invitational tournament with the main purpose being entertainment, its not that deep. Why are you gukesh fans so insecure 😭
The chess world is officially a joke. THIS HAS NEVER BEEN DONE IN HISTORY. I can't believe that the official body of chess is being controlled by a singular player FOR THE 2ND TIME THIS WEEK. THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE WORLD CHAMPION!
@HansMokeNiemann Hans, you call your own games “perfection”, and this is the analysis of this one. I am hyping you up. I tried staying as neutral as possible during the last year and will continue to showcase your games to the masses.
