Danya was a very kind soul. The illogical accusations took its toll on his mental health. Kramnik should be tried on the court of law. This is a serious issue. We, as a community, must make sure that this must not repeat. A precious life has been lost. It’s difficult to find solace after seeing this injustice that was metted out to Danya. Time to fight back against unwarranted insinuations and cyber bullying.
Vishy supported: Request FIDE ban Vladimir Kramnik, and revoke his titles/norms, per ethics standards.Danya was very important for any chess player wanting to improve. I first came across his streams when he was playing blitz, where his impressive creativity and speed skills put him among the best blitzers in the world. I then saw his speedruns as SenseiDanya, the most educational and extensive chess content the world will have ever seen. Once he reached my rating, I made sure to wait hoping to face him. I was so excited to have a chance to play him and even had a completely winning position. Despite many people in the chat accusing me of cheating, Danya defended me and never once hinted at the possibility. A few years later and I am an NM, forever grateful to what his content has done to my chess and the chess of countless other improvers. I even got to play him many more times in speed events, where this time he mainly won easily, as those were much more serious games for him than a speedrun game.
What I wanted to say is that if he had accused me just because of my play, I may never have continued to play as much or watch him, as he was someone I really looked up to. Well, Kramnik was one of the players Danya looked up to and admired deeply. He knew the power his words could have on the kind Danya we all loved. Not once did he think to stop his relentless attacks, even when Danya voiced how much it was affected him. If Danya defended himself, Kramnik would find new and new ridiculous arguments. A year ago, I signed the petition along with many other players to stop these relentless attacks on Danya. What has been done since by FIDE? Absolutely nothing. This is absolutely shameful and FIDE has blood on its hands. If even 6 months ago this had stopped, let alone 1 year ago, I am sure things wouldn't have been the same. But Kramnik showed no concern for human life, and neither did Dvorkovitch. I hope he will think seriously about banning Kramnik and erasing his title which he is using for all the wrong reasons. I see this as a last chance for FIDE to show any backbone.
Seb supported: Request FIDE ban Vladimir Kramnik, and revoke his titles/norms, per ethics standards.Yu foi brutalmente injustiçado, deixaram rastros de destruição, ele sofreu muito sendo torturado, clamo por justiça para que sua alma descanse em paz.
Vera supported: “Justice for Yu Menglong (Alan Yu): An International Legal Supplement”I know Chinese. I know this case, and I have heard too many tragedy cases in China, year and year , and many of the cases did not have justice. I know that YU Menglong will be one of the unjust victim. But I signed this for not letting him dead like he did not existed. I want to let the murders know, he is still being remembered as a good man who died in a horrible, obscene murder. And he should not deserve to dead in this way.
Gigi supported: “Justice for Yu Menglong (Alan Yu): An International Legal Supplement”What happened to him it's awful and still painful( even if he's not relatives I always have tears for loosing him like that)he didn't deserve that!!!!!! People who did need to
pay,its not fair to escape just like that and add another victim on their list. Justice for Yu Menglong
Mars supported: “Justice for Yu Menglong (Alan Yu): An International Legal Supplement”I was on campus when Mr. Kirk was attacked. I did not want him at UVU to begin with, but I do mourn the fact that he was killed.
However, I am transgender. I do not believe he would have mourned my death if I had been shot instead.
The media has largely reflected this event as though he was a perfect man. In reality, many students did not want him at UVU because of his hateful politics and debates.
Please do not treat this event as though there is no nuance. If a permanent memorial is created on campus, please allow it to show all sides of the story, instead of immortalizing one point of view.
Elias supported: UVU's Monuments Should Align With Its Commitment to Inclusion and BelongingYou’re not alone — a community of supporters is ready to back you.
