Это не просто пошлость, а уже диагноз, современным шахматам This is not just vulgarity, but already a diagnosis of degradation of the modern chess

There are players which show respect and mature gentleman behaviour, many prominent players in fact ( Wesley So, Gukesh himself, and many others ) Promoting for years the player known for his awfull behaviour instead, deliberate action, damaging our game in my opinion ☝️

I don’t know who came up with this childish, tasteless act. Likely this “thinker” had no specific intention to humiliate Gukesh, but could have realized that this public gesture (using opponent’s KING) looks offensive and provocative ESPECIALLY against the World Champion

@VBkramnik Mr. Kramnik, I have incredible respect for you, your accomplishments, and everything you are presently doing to advocate for fair chess. Respectfully, however, what is wrong with this? USA pulled a massive (& dominant) upset - can't we celebrate? In any event, I hope all is well.

@BootmanSRL Its about general culture, respect for your opponents and other people, and the game. You can celebrate anyhow you prefer, I can find it vulgar and stupid, undecent All is well 👍

@VBkramnik They were apparently ask to do it to put on a show. It makes it entertaining for lower rated players and a good way to bring more eyes to chess. (Of course people shouldn’t start tossing pieces around in regular tournaments😆)

@ErikHHolm taking pants off would attract even more attention, if asked by organisers, should players do it therefore? Its about inner ethics

@VBkramnik Просто удивительно, как человек, столько сделавший для шахмат, сейчас все пытается сделать, чтобы остановить развитие нашей любимой игры. Но его не остановишь. Никак.

@tonyyakovlev Если это развитие, пошлость и бескультурье, тогда нам не по пути

@VBkramnik 1500 лет уже хоронят шахматы...

@tonyyakovlev Сама игра будет, представителей поменять бы, на культурных и адекватных

@VBkramnik If you're from New York or been around chess long enough you know Nakamura has always been one of terrible sportsmanship and behavior. Now chess media is trying to pretend like it never happened. But this is just a peek of what he's always been. @VBkramnik he took back moves?

@VBkramnik Exactly

@VBkramnik Thank you for saying this Mr Kramnik. This cerebral game shouldn't be allowed to be reduced clenching fists and drama.

@VBkramnik Sadly you can't expect more than this.

@VBkramnik The US team. Also US: NO IMMIGRANTS

@VBkramnik Gukesh is 19 & @GMHikaru is 37. A 19 yr old boy is showing much matured behavior be it victory or defeat, but a guy twice his age is behaving like a monkey.

@VBkramnik The animosity towards teenage Gukesh by almost 40 year old @GMHikaru & @MagnusCarlsen seems really personal and pathetic. Both Hikaru and Magnus Carlson seem like arrogant churlish bullies!! We get it, they think Gukesh is not champ material, but he won fair and square by the

@VBkramnik It seems that these people are unable to digest India's dominance in chess.

@VBkramnik Next time they introduce cheerleaders and advertisement time out between moves 😂.. Americas just ruin every game they enter

@VBkramnik Proud of you Gukesh. 👏 you are a true champion. Your grace and dignity stands tall, high above the arrogant fool.
