legends never die ❤

Death by a thousand cuts. But strangely 999 cuts were done by one person.

Imagine one of your childhood heroes just making up or propagating tons of horrible things about you once you've grown up and attempted to follow in their footsteps. Kramnik should be truly ashamed

just as speechless as i was when it happened. RIP danya man :(

And the FIDE investigation has gone absolutely no where as expected

Odd that FIDE cares more about the clothes you were than the harassment you spout

If you don’t play chess, it’s hard to explain what a cheating accusation is like. In a game that is basically psychological warfare, an accusation can totally destroy your ability to play at your highest level.

Kramnik should have been completely banned by now the fact he isn't is unforgivable.

I had the pleasure of meeting Danya and taking a picture with him in person, gotta say he was super kind to go out of his way to take a picture with me in the middle of his livestream. RIP

Kramnik is a clown. RIP to the legend.

There will never be anyone quite like Danya. A truly remarkable person in every which way. From his unique sense of humor, brilliant story telling and teaching capabilities, openness to dialogue, a curious soul who wanted to help others to the fullest extent. Sadly we and the world failed such an amazing person. I still weekly feel so hurt and get upset knowing he is gone. Rip Danya. ❤

Thanks to Franchise for making this video.

Careful... Kramnik might do the procedure on this video

I miss Danya so much. His videos and style of play got me into the game of chess. I loved his tactics and his impressions and his amazing ability to bring the game to all levels of player. I cried the day he passed. The chess world feels all the more hollow without him.

These recent videos on this channel have begun to show me that despite being an "intellectual" game, chess players are no less rotten.

7:55 Kramnik's accusation was essentially: "guy uses engine to beat Martin"

I knew Danya was an awesome guy, after he played a guy who was stream sniping. Danya KNEW that was what happened and used it against him. One of the coolest things I've ever seen. RIP Danya.

the narcissism in kramnik is insane

As someone who’s involved with the charlotte chess scene and a long time fan. Thank you franchise for covering this.

Rip Danya, a legend who taught me and many others more about chess then I could’ve imagined.

RIP to a great player and just an overall great guy

What Kramnik did was, at the very least, violence through incompetence.
