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
@EmilSutovsky Emil, please understand that even if Danya didn’t send an official complaint, he was very outspoken about how he felt like his life was being destroyed. FIDE needs to be proactive and take cyber-bullying seriously. You need to showcase that there are direct BIG consequences and
@AnnaCramling Anna, thanks for the fair point. Today when so many people are annoyed with Kramnik, it looks like a very natural solution. But it requires a rather massive shift. If FIDE is to proactively interfere, then where it starts, and where it ends? Much more complex that it seems. Very
@EmilSutovsky You had days to prepare a statement and your first comments were to accuse his friends for his death, take 0 responsibility for protecting your players or enforcing your own bylaws, and claim we are all virtue signaling for caring? You are disgusting. Resign. Immediately.
@EmilSutovsky Emil your lack of ability to even fucking understand the situation makes you look pathetic and you are big part of this problem. So fuck you and all the stuff you are talking Justice for Danya!
@EmilSutovsky no one cares. It was a disgraceful thing to say. No backpedaling. Resign
@EmilSutovsky There is big cancel culture on display in the comments. I actually don't think FIDE should have done anything or should do anything. Maybe a cold hard statistical analysis by a real statistician, to put Kramnik's nonsense to bed, but not beyond.
@EmilSutovsky You're still a piece of shit and should be removed from your position as CEO of FIDE. Also, I don't believe you.
@EmilSutovsky Your incompetence and FIDE’s inaction have gotten to the point where a person died, and all you do is start blaming his friends. Enough. For the sake of chess, if you have any respect for the game and the community – resign
@EmilSutovsky Fuck you
@EmilSutovsky Sounds to me like you were trying to defend the perpetrator. Take immediate action to sanction Kramnik or resign!
@EmilSutovsky Emil, during these sad and emotional times, keep your profound insight at the forefront of your thoughts: “emotions are rarely a good companion of wisdom.”
@EmilSutovsky At least this sounds better... Danya was loved by so many. Unlike other GMs (whose videos we watch in YT), his videos connected with all of us noobs too - not a single one came off as insulting or as being made fun of us new to chess. That's precisely how he connected with the
@EmilSutovsky This sounds like a whole lot of retreating a bishop after a blunder. You'd think the CEO of a chess organization would think through his moves better than this.
@EmilSutovsky Best time to resign was yesterday. Second best time is now. You have a black belt in shameless. I pray to god that something happens at FIDE. You’ve been cancer to the chess community enough now. Get help
@EmilSutovsky You used @VBkramnik twist of friends not helping enough, ser. If that's where your emotions go, I don't what your wisdom.
@EmilSutovsky Don't listen to these retards. You're right. Don't politicize FIDE. This is a dumb self-righteous mob.
@EmilSutovsky respect for coming around
@EmilSutovsky Resign. You tactless, heartless, blundering ass.
@EmilSutovsky Fuck u idiot, @EmilSutovsky As FIDE you did NOTHING. Just gaslighting friends, family and all community. You are the same shit as Kramnik.
@EmilSutovsky You are just an utter moron, and you show it every time you open your mouth or write a post! Well done. Not easy to be so consistently idiotic.
@EmilSutovsky Check out the bios on people telling you to resign. These are full time professional virtue-signallers. They are clowns.
@EmilSutovsky Emotions are high and there can and should be a culture of kindness. Perhaps shifting the conversation away from blaming those in his life and instead opening the door to a conversation about what can be done to protect players from this would be beneficial
@EmilSutovsky Thank you for clarifying. I hope we can fine a good path forward for the community.
@EmilSutovsky You know what you need to do Emil.
@EmilSutovsky You are disgusting
@EmilSutovsky You’re only posting this because you got called out. It’s time to resign
@EmilSutovsky They need to stop letting founders tweet.
@EmilSutovsky Maybe concretely- make an effort to invite and involve players who are being harrassed. Amd employ real statisticians to respomd to lies. But end it there. Do not slip into being a thought police. Do not go after Kramnik.
@EmilSutovsky If anything your initial statement was an emotionally Turbo Tone Deaf accusatory farce. Stop protecting washed up derelict bullies and predators
@EmilSutovsky get fucked and resign
@EmilSutovsky Yo @IfindRetards I got one for you
@EmilSutovsky That was much clearer, thank you. I saw the Reuters news saying FIDE is looking into the case of Kramnik’s continuous accusations against Danya. That’s your internal process, and I won’t ask for more details. But I just want FIDE to also protect other players Kramnik has
@EmilSutovsky It's ok to be personally affected. On the other hand, the position you have requires higher levels of professionalism than what you have exhibited and you should let FIDE find someone who can manage diffcult and negative moments with grace. This is unbecoming of an
@EmilSutovsky I have questions. You start out with “Dear friends” and then state your annoyance that people now refer to themselves as a friend to Danya but did very little to help? If you never had the privilege to call Danya a friend: • How do you know who was and wasn’t his friend?
