he's just old lol
The comment about Cesar's wife does not mean that Cesar's wife is above the law, but that Cesar's wife must not only be faithful but also look like it. Basically he comments it doesn't matter if Hikaru cheats or not, but he shouldn't be doing things that give that impression, or shouldn't be annoyed when Kramnik or some other player questions him. It's bs, essentially.
Russians are just upset they no longer dominate chess like (Fischer aside) they did in the Cold War years. Kramnik is a sad (and maybe mad) old Soviet and Nepo is bitter that he bottles it every time he is in a crucial moment in his career.
Bastard should be spelled bustard IMHO.
Two comments real quick…
As far as the math goes, Kramnik is cherry picking data.
To break that down into an over simplification, imagine going to the park and shooting free throws. Over the course of 100 shots, say you make 50%.
That's one set of data, but its meaningless without comparison. If you're a 75% shooter, then 50% was a bad day. If you're a 10% shooter, you had a great day. One set of data is nothing without comparison.
And what Kramnik is doing is even worse, honestly. Imagine somebody records you shooting those free throws, where you make 50 out of 100, and then takes that footage and deletes all of the misses, then posts it to YouTube and says "unknown free throw shooter in the park makes 50 out of 50."
That's what Kramnik is doing.
Not only is it mathematically incorrect, it's a confirmation bias. He's looking for data that confirms what he already believes, instead of basing his belief on the whole set of data.
And…the "Caesar's wife" thing is a reference to Pompeia, the (second or third) wife of Julius Caesar. She was accused of adultery, but there was no evidence of any kind against her. It was just an accusation.
Julius Caesar divorced her anyway, saying that the wife of Caesar must not even be suspected, even when there is no truth to the accusation.
It's not that Caesar's wife is above the law, it's that she's supposed to be perfect, because even an accusation would be damning to Caesar in the minds of the public.
[Edit]
Yes, I know this post makes me sound like an arrogant know-it-all, but it just happened to be two topics I'm familiar with. So calling me a know-it-all based solely on this post would be cherry picking your data, like Kramnik. 😉
The term is "confirmation bias".
Hikaru needs to be banned!
Thanks to Kramnik I now feel smarter than an ex chess world champion.
Hikaru should call out Kramnik for 50 3|0 games and see the results
i didn't know chess is a game of chance
photobombed by your own microphone, a new low in Gotham! 🙂
would you think that if an 1100 beat a bunch of 800s in 3min blitz that would be suspicious?
imagine being so good that people and grandmasters think that you are cheating.
Kramnik's rhetoric screams "Russian misinformation" to me. I would not be surprised if the entire shtick of falsely accusing an American grandmaster of cheating was word for word put into his mouth by Russian government officials. The complete dismissal of any counterarguments completely mirrors the way paid Russian shills act on the internet as well.
Let's not forget that the Russian government (or USSR I guess) has historically used chess for its own propaganda purposes on numerous occasions. I think we should not fall into the trap of validating this guy by responding to him and taking him seriously.
When they say "Hikaru is so good playing online" it annoys me. It's much more relaxing and easier to play online.
It’s not only Hans! Hikaru has been accusing and blocking people that he accuses of cheating online for the longest time, calling them “suspicious”, inclunding 2600+ FIDE grandmasters! Karma def if a bitch!
Hikaru uses they pronouns? Gross
worldwide: *99% of Africa is greyed out
If you're not that into Chess, you probably don't even knew who Kramnik is. But when this blows up, everyone will know who Kramnik is, not the multi champion Kramnik, but the deluded old toddler Kramnik.
I love probabilites. Like saying it's almost impossible to win the lottery. Yet people win the lottery all the time.
Can't wait for Stand Up Maths Matt Parker to take a look at this.

15:50 Even if Kramnik were correct (which he definitely doesn't seem to be) and the statisticians writing comments are incorrect, it would make A LOT MORE SENSE to reply with an explanation about where the statistician made a mistake in his or her argument. Instead Kramnik proceeds to delete the comment. If Kramnik is incorrect, he just deleted the correction; if Kramnik was correct, he failed to educate his followers about the facts that must be considered. As a result, it doesn't even matter if Kramnik was correct or incorrect, deleting those comments doesn't make any sense if you're interested in truth or facts.
That that's pretty much all you need to know about Kramnik. I'm not personally that surprised that someone from Russia is not fully interested in facts or truth because that nation has serious cultural problems, but even that is just a possible reason, not a fact.
Fabi is the second best player behind Magnus! Not your crush hikaru
Kramnik is doing a bobby fischer
Kramnik deleting statistitian's comments from his post is like an 800 rated player deleting Kramnik's comments on their chess analysis saying that 'he just dosent know what he's on about and what he's saying is misleading'.
Hikaru is cheating because he can beat me.
😂 "Skill issue!" I suppose
Only a cheater knows a cheater.
Yall never fail to say the same comments
Kramnik seems to think that elo rating is gospel and that can never be inaccurate. If you accept that as an axiom, then it follows that Hikaru must be cheating because elo rating of his and his opponents cannot allow the performance Hikaru is showing.
For me, the most probable explanation is that elo rating is far from accurate for players with very low ratings and for players with very high ratings.
Hikaru was eating his lunch, talking to chat, while winning his games…
Levy, if you decide to keep it up place the „Rook“ more to the left or right rather than directly behind your head
I think that's enough of kramniks bs could u please review the sinquefield cup
Basically what is happening:
Kramnik: "Why are you so good?"
Hikaru: "I am Hikaru."
Kramnik:" Ok, but why are you so good?"
Hikaru: "I am Hikaru."
Kramnik: "Cheater!"
Kramnik has lost it
Khaby lame in Ohio 💀 1:18
In rocket league there is a sinilar measure caller MMR, it's not much but a gap of 200 or even 100 proves to be enough to separate the good people from the very best, wouldn't be surprising if some of the top players acumulate win after win on 1v1.
And that's kinda what i see in that situation
What was the percentage chance that Fischer beat Larsen and Taimanov 6-0? 🤣🤣🤣
So, apparently, the odds of winning 45 games in a row are miniscule, if every game has 50-50 odds and only 45 games are played. But if 3,000 games are played, and the odds of winning each game are 90% or higher, because one player is rated a few hundred points above all his opponents, then the odds of a 45 game winning streak occuring at any point in those 3,000 games approaches 100%.
So, to accuse Hikaru of cheating because he had a 45 game winning streak, based on some sort of "mathematics," is really stupid.
Bro Kramnik is literally becoming Dream to hire Mathematicians to statistically prove something inevidently wrong 💀
this looks like something out of twitter or youtube comments, kramnik should take a break from the internet
A Bustard is a type of bird, not a miss spelling of Bastard… 🙂
Don't tell Kramnik if Hikaru has a series called speedrun while Hikaru had 200 winning streak. Just DON'T!
I wanna see Hikaru vs Kramnic 46 game showdown.
Guys nobody says that hikaru would cheat like us. İf he does, he would do it for a move or two and streaming doesn't prove anything cuz camera doesn't cover the whole area. Also wearing headphones while in a tournament must be forbidden. These are not as ridiculous as Magnus's accusations. Like he didn't say anything about how hans cheated, at least kramnik has a point
Interesting point is that a lot of stats given by Kramnik assume each game to be an independent event which leads to seemingly impossible stats of (.77)^45, but this fails to account for several factors such as the effect of playing the games back to back and against the same opponent in multiple games.
At this point, I would not even be supprised if this is part of some Russian propaganda-war against the west…
Edit:
And a funny statistic is that someone who is cheating, is more likely to falsely accuse others of cheating. Not saying that Kramnik is cheating, but it is funny to think about…
3/0 is impossible to cheat at.
finally recording to your usuall place and you can shout. Thank god 😀
Sounds like Kramnik has been at the vodka.
Vladimir Karamanik , after being accused in 2006 part of toilet gate scandal himself. What a hypocrisy
