@WesleySo_ My 12 yo son had a nervous breakdown today, had to visit a doctor. What are you doing, people? You falsely blame me for something and at the same second doing ten times worth slanderous campaign that is extremely dangerous. What is in your minds and souls, if any?

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 You are so pathetic it hurt. You directly blamed his friends and family, called it cirtue signalling and like farming. You sre backpeddling because you fucked up. Make your last act before resigning the erasure of Kramnik out of the history books

Dear friends, Reading your comments to my previous tweet, I realized that it should have been clearer and more responsible. It was obviously not aimed at Danya's close friends or God forbid family. I was referring to people who now refer to themselves as friends, but did very little to help. It did annoy me, and does annoy now. I never had a privilege to call Danya a friend, but I acknowledge that FIDE also could and should have done better. We need to look into our policies, and probably not to wait for a formal complaint, but to step in and protect the people in such a situations. Very difficult to balance it all, but we will do our utmost. On a personal level: the news of Danya's passing shocked me. It triggered a lot of feelings, and maybe I was too emotional writing about it. And emotions are rarely a good companion of wisdom.

Amount of love given to Danya post-mortem is unprecedented. I can't recall anything of the kind. But here is the problem - where all of you were when Danya was alive and unwell? I am not talking now about stepping in when he was accused. Although it is a separate important matter. I know many people find it hard to express their opinion, as the problem is indeed huge, and striking a balance is nearly impossible. One thing is clear : the way Kramnik approaches it, simply can't be accepted. And his reaction on Danya's passing is appalling and outright shameful. FIDE is not a court of justice, but we will act within our jurisdiction. However, let's not oversimplify it. It is too simple to focus on Kramnik and forget everything else. Danya was clearly not at his best in recent months. He stopped appearing as a commentator for one reason or another, he was not his usual self. Now, all those who claim how dear Danya was to their heart, how good a friend they were, where have you been? What did you do? All these Kramnik attacks on Danya happened not this week or month. It was not like a shocking accusation, that killed Danya overnight. It kept haunting him for more than a year, even if there was not much of polemics of recent. So, I ask you, alleged Danya's friends, what did you do to help him for half a year or so? Did many of you write him to ask, whether he is OK? Why he, arguably the best online commentator disappeared from the screens? Did you text him to ask why did he stop streaming? Throughout 15 years I spoke to Danya many times, though we never were friends. He fascinated me long before he became a famous streamer. I met him when he just started being coached by my former trainer, Lev Psakhis. And we spoke rarely but in length many times since. I look at our correspondence from 2014, when he was thinking of a life path. And then later in 2017, and in 2019, and in 2021. Most recent online conversation was in 2024 when I invited him to comment on the Match in Singapore. And the last time I spoke to him in person was during the Grand Swiss in Samarkand, where he seconded a top player, hiding this fact for one reason or another. All the recent years I had a feeling Danya was not a happy person, although he made many people happy. Our last lengthy conversation took place in 2021, when he was already a famous online player and streamer, but still was considering a career of a real professional player. He was very much in doubt whether he is doing the right thing with all the blitz and streaming - he even considered moving to Europe to have more opportunities as a player, "but it is very difficult with all the online success I have". It came at a price. The boy with shining eyes had less and less shining left. And now, he is gone. Way too early. If he looks from above, he might be surprised to read about this or that person allegedly being his friend. Danya was kind to many, but it feels like most of the time he was lonely. Virtue signalling and like-grabbing is the worst way to pay respect to Danya. He was special on so many levels. He will be missed - or rather he is very much missed already. The Danya.

@verykokoosi @MaschaPrins Ze snappen zelf niet wat smaad is Ze zien zelf niet dat uiterlijk vergelijken niet helt zelfde is als zeggen dat hij ook een moordenaar is, bizar hoe debiel die aangifte is over een lolletje, plus hij lijkt er gewoon op

@MaschaPrins Hahaha sorry maar wat een fucking onzin. Rik Elfrink heeft toch een vergelijkbare kop als Volkert? Mag je dat niet zeggen? Alsof je hiermee zegt dat Rik Elfrink een moordenaar is... Kansloze aangifte

@MinPres @HankeBruinsSlot Sodemieter toch op met je selectieve verontwaardiging. Prima wanneer bondsgenoten alles aan gort schieten en binnenvallen. Hypocriete zooi. Hoe keur je Israel die oorlog voert goed en de palestijnen af? En snel een paspoort voor die jongen, voor de buhne, meer niet
