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.
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.
As a lifelong music lover, musician, and singer/song writer — I believe the Super Bowl halftime show should celebrate true talent, class, and American roots — not manufactured hype or vulgar trends.
George Strait embodies timeless artistry, respect, and authenticity. His music crosses generations and unites people of all backgrounds!
Bringing him to the 2026 Super Bowl stage would restore the spirit of real country music and remind the world what genuine performance looks like.
How irresponsible of the NFL to choose such a politicized figure in this day and time in our country where our nation is so divided. Why bring more drama to America, I mean the guy goes public about his hate for America and he won't even tour in the states. What a Hipocrits this Bunny figure is, he said that he wouldn't perform in America yet when it comes to the Superbowl then he will perform! What hipocrasy! By choosing this person your dividing our country even further and I feel it might be a dangerous decision because it could even cause fights or riots, its obvious that Bunny is going to use the platform for his political beliefs and that's why he decided to actually perform in America, thats why he has changed his mind because he is going to get on stage and make halftime about politics. Very bad decision on your part NFL, I know that if you choose Bad Bunny Rabbit guy then I will not be watching the Superbowl and neither will my family and friends. Were not about drama so its wise to stop the drama before its happens. Politics should not be in entertainment and sports. My family is from Puerto Rico, my children are boriquas (puertorican) and and our family lives in Prince and Juana Diaz and we do not want this Bad Bunny person representing our beautiful country of Puerto Rico. Bad Bunny is not who we choose to represent us, we as Puerto Ricans love America and our country is an English speaking country as well. We teach in our schools English not just Spanish. Bad Bunny is drama and he is a troublemaker. Please reconsider your decision. Bob Sugar would be an excellent choice, there's many many more singer/musicians that you can choose from that would love the opportunity to help reunite America !
I’m a mother, and all my kids grew up playing hockey. It’s disturbing to see how false accusations can ruin young men’s lives with no consequences. This trial was a circus, and my heart goes out to these players. I hope they can return to their careers soon — they deserve that chance.
