@VBkramnik @WesleySo_ @VBkramnik i feel sorry for your son. I hope he recovers from it soon, and i truly wish if he becomes a GM, he wouldn't be attacted online every single day without knowing his fault, based on assumptions only, being pushed to a point where he doest see value for his life.

@WesleySo_ Dear Wesley, with all my respect towards you, falsely stating that "I ruined his life" not even knowing surcumstances and cause of his death, is truly undecent and, forgive me, also illegal. What you and others doing now is ten times worse and can have dramatic consiquences 👇

Just to add my 2 cents. I think and in my opinion Kramnik's response to Daniel's passing was cold and heartless. I didn't want to say anything in the beginning because it is not my place and Vlad has always been great towards me but things have gotten too far. In my personal view what was done and happened to Naroditsky was just shockingly and disturbingly evil and horrific. You wouldn't wish that to happen to your worst enemy. Let's say for a moment that Danya cheated (which I never believed). Would it be worth it to ruin a beautiful young life over a game? What was his soul worth? @VBkramnik , are you done? Maybe its not too late to just stop and fix/make things better. You are a living legend to this game. The chess world is not your enemy.

@EmilSutovsky Ditch arbitrary thresholds like 40 games or 200 Elo gaps they punish edge cases like isolated players or rising stars. Use percentage-based decay (e.g., 0.05% of rating/month below 75th activity percentile), adapts fairly.

FIDE questionnaire was sent to 150 players couple of days ago, and we already got few dozens of answers. We expect to collect 100+ replies by the next week, and then FIDE will review it all before taking a decision if to change anything, and if yes, how to change it. Meanwhile, you are welcome to share here your opinion on the most critical questions: Do you think the ratings for top players shall decay? Shall there be a rating decay, what should be a minimum of classical rated games per year? What shall be a minimal average opposition for that player to count towards the total (no minimum/his own Elo minus 200/minus 400). Shall this minimum not be reached, would you find it fair to deduct rating points (if yes, how many)? Or maybe use a higher K-factor, but only for their negative results? To remind everyone: today it is enough to play one rated game per year in order not to be considered inactive. And even if you are inactive, and then resume playing, you get back with the same rating. Do you feel it should be kept like that?

@LevAronian @VBkramnik Very wise

Dear @VBkramnik Forgive me for addressing you publicly, but I feel that the chess world and the new generation need to know about who you are and I want you to remember it as well. Vlad, you have always been an inspiration to me and to the majority of people who know you, as just like you, dedicated their lives to chess. The first time I ever got to spend a longer time with you was in Paris, in 2005. I visited you for a short time to train with you, but soon I understood that a person with such a fanatical approach is so far from my personality that I can’t even learn to work like that and be so deeply dedicated to chess. During that time you were recovering from some health issues and the world was bullying you for not being a dominating “proper champion”, despite you winning 2 world championship matches against none other than Kasparov and Leko (who you beat in the last game!). Then came your match with Topalov in 2006 where you showed so much character after a scandalous “toiletgate” that to me was another act of bullying against you. Honestly around that time, after you won I felt like this heroism that you displayed in those years kind of nullified the unfair circumstances that led you to the match against Kasparov in 2000. It was a sign that you are here to change the game. Then your brilliant career continued, and your opening innovations and incredible spirit, in my opinion, make you a top 10 player in the history of chess (in my view 6th or 7th). So in my eyes, you will always be someone who was bullied and fairly fought for justice. I will never forget how many times you gave me your helping hand and advised me. How many times have you pushed me towards chess when I was in a state of despair? If I exclude my first coaches, You, together with Borya Gelfand and Gabi Sargissian are my chess parents and I think that most of my Chess DNI comes from you. My dear friend, I want to share something I feel that I haven't yet shared with you. The last few years after you retired I to my surprise saw a different Vlad that I never knew. Vlad that may be because the new chess world does not appreciate you enough ( sports fans and organizations, unfortunately, have a very short memory). A person who faced so much public pressure has turned against the chess world. Vlad, brother, ask all of your chess friends, nobody thinks that what you are doing is good and pure. You are fighting your own demons, and I can understand how much it drains you both mentally and physically. A long time ago I read somewhere that most of the murders are committed because of disrespect. Vlad, guys like Danya, and David are not the ones that you should be having a vendetta against. I love them for what they are, perhaps a bit introverted but lacking any side of evil in them. I know you as the biggest revolutionary when it comes to chess. You challenged every single dogma and proved that you understand the core of chess like nobody before or after you. I ask you, as a friend who has always been open and honest to you, please, challenge your convictions. You think you are saving chess from cheaters, but most of us see you as the guy with the hammer who thinks everything is a nail. We are a family, we can’t go on suing or threatening each other for some weird online analysis that in most cases doesn’t make sense. We all have many friends in the world of mathematics, if you want, let's unite everyone and make a proper unbiased analysis, but let us start from a fresh page. Your friend, your fan, and your little brother Lev

@ChayaRaichik10 @elonmusk @ViralNewsNYC I just need a camera, a story, someone speaks arabic or in need of money, and a flag and would make up whatever video you want. Stop spreading lies. We just need one actual evidence of what he is claiming. It's not possible that 40k didn't report it by video or even a picture.

@elonmusk Shall we have more babies so Israel can kill more in palestine ?

Having children should be incentivized, not be a financial penalty like it is in most countries! We must create the next generation of humans or spiral into oblivion.

@cz_binance You already delisted some great projects such as Beam, why you don't add it back to the innovation zone

As some of you suggested, instead of direct delistings, we will move "no-progress projects" to innovation zone first. IF they still don't improve, we may delist. One more intermediate step.

@pegrominetoo @ReliableZA @Israel @taylorswift13 I just want to ask you, and please answer Which kind of jews were living there Ashkenaz or Sephardim or Mizrahim or Afrian The list is long. Jews are divided into many ethnic divisions which makes it only a religion not ethnicity. they should not claim land based on belief.

@ReliableZA @Israel @taylorswift13 Why don't you go all the way back? In 722 BCE, the Assyrians conquered the Kingdom of Israel, and many Israelites were deported to Mesopotamia. The Jewish proper diaspora began with the Babylonian exile in the 6th century BCE. Jews were in Israel long before Arabs first arrived.

We would very much like to be excluded from this narrative.
