No pieces, chessboards or tables were harmed during the filming of this video and for those wondering, Magnus immediately apologized to his opponent and me.

Tesco just arrived with the Christmas delivery. The driver handed me a bag and said ‘There’s a couple of substitutions, here’s your sprig of rosemary and haddock’ I said to him ‘This isn’t the thyme or the plaice’.

In watching the clip below of Danya's last stream and hearing the pain in his voice, how deeply the baseless accusations affected him, I am left so mad at what we all allowed to happen right in front of us. It's time to stop worrying about the backlash. I am calling on the FIDE EDC to remove Vladimir Kramnik from the FIDE record books, revoke his title, and disqualify his world championship. Chess is one of the most beloved games in the world and should be a place for kindness and inclusion. It should be unilaterally unacceptable to use a platform that Chess has given you to bully, harass, and slander a colleague. What Kramnik has done to David Navara, Hikaru, and Danya, and others can not be tolerated. It is up to our community and the governing body to set an example that this type of behavior will have consequences. Make it known loud and clear that Chess stands against these hateful acts. If you do them intentionally and maliciously there will be no place for you in our game. FIDE and it's EDC must establish clear policies moving forward around the safety of it's players both in person and digitally. The events leading up to this tragedy happened in broad daylight over the last 18 months. They could have been stopped. Nothing like this can ever be allowed to happen again.

@Bennotroy_ @BastardGroove what’s the purple one???

@BastardGroove @Bennotroy_ which one

@ChrisBirdIA @EmilSutovsky if we’re thinking of the same people they messaged me to let me know lol

@EmilSutovsky I was with some non-chess players recently in St. Louis on a non-chess related visit for once. They hadn't heard of Levy, but knew Kasparov when I mentioned his name and they got very excited since he was in town and there was a chance we might run into him.

Do you agree with that? I don't - but maybe that's because my bubble consists of hardcore chess fans. But I do feel Levy's perception is extremely US-centric. And I also feel, that in general streamers/youtubers impact on the game is much less significant than it used to be few years ago. But again, I might err. Asking at this time of the day, when it will be read East and West. Share your thoughts and experience with that, please.

@pricempire @CounterStrike do they go back down? or will they stay this high?
