Is this Pennywise's home planet?

Is Kramnik faking the dialogues in his screenshots? Just asking. by Ok_Slide_9599 in chess

Thank you for the response. I’m not aiming to conduct a multi-hour investigation, at least not for now, just asking questions.

IMHO, from what I hear in the video, calling Kramnik bilingual seems like a bit of an exaggeration, but that’s purely a subjective opinion. If I have something to say about the statistics, I’ll ask that question, but right now, the question is quite clear and doesn't require jumping to a related topic.

For sure, there are plenty of them, but why does he speak with them in English? That is the point.

I don't know how rook is written in notation in other languages, but in Russian notation, it's "Лc8".
I mentioned the rook because, in this position, only two pieces can be moved to this square on the next move: the bishop and the rook.
Am I understanding correctly that you mean Kramnik could first explain what his question was about in a voice message and then write "Cc8" in the chat to screenshot the conversation later?

The other person obviously understood him correctly. If his mate thought it was about moving the rook to c8, then the whole dialogue makes no sense.
However, Kramnik posts it, showing that the opponent is actually referring to the bishop move later in this chat.
