NARODITSKY TÕENÄOLISELT PETTIS

Suurmeister Daniel Naroditsky kasutas oma maleülekannete ajal salaja malemasinat, pettis.

See on praeguste andmete põhjal väga tõenäoline. 

Andmeid on mitut liiki:

A) Statistilised andmed 

Statistilised anomaaliad, millele juhtis tähelepanu suurmeister Vladimir Kramnik ja mille alusel Kramnik esitas avaliku kahtlustuse, mitte süüdistuse.

B) Fotod ja videod Naroditsky esinemistest

Fotodelt ja videotelt on näha, et Naroditsky kasutas mitut arvutiekraani, ühel mängis ja teise suunas aeg-ajalt vaatas. 

Mitmel videol oli hetkeks näha, et malemasin oli töövalmis, aga hetkel välja lülitatud. 

Kramnik esitas selle põhjal avalikult otsese süüdistuse pettuses. 

ChessDotCom pareeris, et selle konkreetse esimenise ajal oli malemasina kasutamine lubatud. 

Arusaamatuks jääb aga see, kas see oli avalikult ette teatatud. 

Samuti väärib tähelepanu Kramniku märkus, et see asjaolu tõendab, et ChessDotCom oli tehniliselt võimeline laskma malemasinat sedasi kasutada.

Lisaks Kramnikule on teisedki vaatlejad Naroditsky videosid uurinud. On leitud selliseid videolõike, mille ainsaks mõistlikuks seletuseks tundub olevat see, et Naroditsky vaatas varjatud ekraanilt malemasina arvutusi. 

Nimelt, Naroditsky ise väitis avalikult, et isegi siis, kui ta hetkeks kõrvale vaatas, vaatas ta tegelikult ikka edasi seda ekraani, millel ta malepartiid mängis.

Ent ilmselt ei suutnud ta mõnedel hetkedel oma emotsioone ja näoilmeid varjata.

Kui sellel salaekraanil ei töötanud malemasin, siis pidi selle ekraani peal küll näiteks hiigelsuur mürgiämblik ronima, kes Naroditsky ära ehmatas.

Kramnikut saaks ehk süüdistada ahistamises

Niisiis ei esitanud Kramnik mitte alusetuid süüdistusi, vaid pigem statistiliselt põhjendatud kahtlustusi ja kohati otsesemate tõendite najal ka otseseid süüdistusi.

Seejuures tundub olevat väga tõenäoline, et Naroditsky tõepoolest kasutas salaja malemasinat.

Kui Kramnikut üldse milleski süüdistada saab, siis ehk ainult selles viisis, kuidas ta oma kahtlustusi ja süüdistusi esitas.

Selle kohta ei ole mul mingeid andmeid.

• Kui Kramnik helistas Naroditskyle igal öösel ja ütles, et ta on petis, siis see on ahistamine. 
• Kui Kramnik nõudis Naroditskylt vaikimisraha, siis see on väljapressimine.

Ent Kramniku sellise käitumise kohta mul andmed puuduvad.

Naroditsky surma põhjused

Politsei uurib Naroditsky surma võimaliku enesetapu või üledoosina. 

Minu teada ei ole tulemusi veel avalikult teatatud.

Üledoos saab olla näiteks unerohust või ka narkootikumidest.

Teoreetiliselt on ka võimalik, et Naroditsky mõrvati.

Selle teemaga peaks tegelema politsei ja prokuratuur, mitte maleorganisatsioon FIDE.

A RAPID GAME

Recently, I have played on the chess platform Premium Chess. 

As an example, I shall provide one training game. It turns out that the training games cannot be shared from that platform. However, the player can download their own games, provided they have paid the subscription fee.

I had black pieces in the game WhiteWolf - Nanomaster: 

The video above was taken using my personal NCH software. You can also see it on Flickr. 

Below is a short analysis of that game:

 

 

THE CAMPAIGN AGAINST CHESS GRANDMASTER KRAMNIK

It started in 2023, if not earlier. I have noticed the following features of that campaign: 

1. They do not quote Kramnik and recommend not reading his texts or watching his videos. 
2. They assert that Kramnik said A, while Kramnik, instead, said "Not A, but B." 
3. If Kramnik said C in the case of E, they assert that he also said C in the case of F. 
4. They intentionally confuse all relevant modalities and meanings of the terms. 
5. If Kramnik really did something wrong, it would almost never show up in such a discourse. It would not reveal itself. 
6. If Kramnik's ideas have some positive meaning in a particular context, they would be absolutely denied and ignored. 
7. The campaign clearly exemplifies the unpleasant truth that chess players are not as intelligent and moral as they are often perceived to be. Even several grandmasters and professors who play chess show up with complete nonsense.

The whole campaign is reduced to the banal McCarthyism and Russophobia - a form of racism. Arrogance, ignorance and stupid ethnocentrism. I am completely tired of the so-called "chess community".

I CLOSED MY CHESSDOTCOM ACCOUNT

Today, on 16 November 2025, I voluntarily and deliberately closed my chess.com account. 

That account was created in 2024, and my username was Mikromeister. 

Already in summer 2025, I cancelled my subscription and stopped playing on that platform. The reasons I cited in my blog were the following:

• The platform ChessDotCom was politicising chess, doing so aggressively and in a biased, selective, discriminative manner. 
• There were an awful number of cheaters, opponents using databases and chess engines during live, rapid games. According to the platform's own data, on some days, more than 50% of my opponents violated the rules of fair play and I got some rating points back. 
• The way the platform handled complaints, cheaters and corresponding ratings was far from being transparent and understandable.

During that period when I used the platform, I was unaware of the scandals concerning Kramnik, Naroditsky or Navara.

Today, I closed my account, sending to ChessDotCom the following explanation:

"Asking questions about fair play, based on statistical evidence, is not the same as making baseless accusations. ChessDotCom's demagoguery is intolerable."

On 24 December 2024, ChessDotCom announced that GM Kramnik's, the former world champion, blog has been closed and his account has been muted. The platform provided an explanation, which contained confusion concerning the meanings of relevant terms:

"Our team carefully investigated many dozens of players about which GM Kramnik raised suspicions. In the vast majority of cases, we found his accusations baseless. 

Unfortunately, GM Kramnik has continued to take his accusations public..."

Suspicions are not accusations. Kramnik's suspicions were not baseless - most of his questions were based on statistical evidence and anomalies discovered.

The issue is about possible cheating in online games.

Recently, again, ChessDotCom repeated its confusing demagoguery:

"FIDE Confirms Ethics Investigation Into Kramnik Following Death Of Naroditsky"

ChessDotCom, 12 November 2025

That article was published on ChessDotCom's official News channel. Quotation:

"At the end of 2023, Chess.com muted Kramnik's account following repeated accusations against other players. He was later suspended from prize events and is now permanently banned, following what Chess.com called repeated, and egregious, violations of the company's Community Policy." 

ChessDotCom has completely dismissed, ignored or distorted Kramnik's own repeated explanations and arguments. For Kramnik's arguments, see, for example:

Kramnik, V. 

"Kramnik Demands to Examine Nakamura’s Games" 

Levitov Chess World, 27 November 2023 

Quotations:

"I'm not trying to I'm not saying that Hikaru was playing not fair because I don't have uh not the legacy actually and I'm not a mathematician and that's not me who has to judge..." (8:01)

"...those statistics are very very unusual, let's say extremely nonstandard, and since if we are really trying to fight against, you know, against cheating, if we really take it seriously, I believe that such results, such performances must be very seriously checked, maybe the, and maybe the result of the check will be, you know, like that or like this, but you cannot leave such outrageous, I mean performances, without further check, and that is the only reason why I started this..." (8:26)

To those who understand probability theory, confirmation theory and the basics of statistics, ChessDotCom's demagogical accusations and denials amount to the declaration that

2 + 2 = 5

This company is an Orwellian chess dystopia.
