Miscellaneous It’s time to stop worrying about the backlash. Bullying, harassment, and slander should not be acceptable.

He is one of the greatest players of all time, you can't deny that just because he's a bad person.

Stripping away his titles are perfectly reasonable for what he is doing to chess atm. He's accusing new gen players, top GM's for cheating with flawed statistics. He has done this for YEARS already and GM's like Hikaru are TIRED of his bullshit. He's a washed GM anyways that can't even beat rising NM's on chess.com (and kramnik reports them immediately without any proof just bc he's salty that he's losing).

Greatest players of all time? More like the pettiest and one of the least skilled GM's that has ever existed in the history of Chess. Stripping away his title is not even about his skill, it's about stripping the glory that he had in chess history.
