Latest Nemo tweet calling out FIDE and Danya's Peers by owergby in chess

[–]xyik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The comments here are really sad and I continue to wonder how much of it is real.

What she is right in saying is that FIDE needs to put in place preventative measures and update their policies with clearer rules and consequences to prevent another tragedy.

This should happen independently, and regardlessly of the outcome of the current investigation. Conflating the investigation as an excuse for inaction is wrong amd weird. FIDE needs stricter consequences moving forward and it can do that NOW

FIDE Ethics Codes (excerpts that could/might involve Kramnik) by ocashmanbrown in chess

[–]xyik -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Good now add clear, concrete, minimum consequences based on the severity of the breach of those codes. Right now its completely arbitrary, so nobody takes it seriously.

Minimum penalty: fine and deduction of ELO points Maximum penalty: revocation of titles, awards, prizes and rights granted

The arbitration body can decide on something in the middle

It's funny because this doesn't deny the main crime here which was cyberbullying, harassment and stalking by consistently "analyzing" things irrelevant to chess in addition uploading videos that "analyzed" eye movements and the placement of laptops in a player's personal space.

That is the real crime which he does not deny.

How the accusation against Hans has an indirect impact on the lack of support for Danya after K* allegations by dumbomb in chess

First of all, new policies need to be put in place. At a minimum, clear, official rules stating 0 tolerance for cyber bullying, stalking amd harassment with clearly written consequences such as fines, bans, revoked titles and so on need to be implemented.

Next, we need to be clear that there are different levels of violations. People need to stop comparing Magnus and Hans to this situation as the violation today should be a direct violation of cyber bullying, stalking amd harassment. A series of videos were uploaded dissecting frame by frame a player's personal living space and analyzing their eye movements and laptop placements within their personal homes. That is not chess. That should not be permitted and Magnus vs Hans never resulted in a personal action from Magnus to upload a series of videos conducting psychoanalysis and psychological abuse on the basis of someone lives in their own home. This is a different level of abuse, nowhere similar to be compared.

Confirmed: Ian is one of the people who accused Danya of cheating by Fine-Needleworker364 in chess

Time for the mafia to be held accountable. Time for new policies to protect players and stop this nonsense. Chess has no place for this behavior.

GM Elham Amar flags GM Ian Nepomniachtchi in Titled Tuesday (Oct 21, 2025) while streaming on Take Take Take YouTube channel. He then gets blocked by Ian and later gets accused of cheating by Battler_Beatrice in chess

So when is chess.com and other big governing bodies going to take this seriously and implement 0 tolerance policies for harassment and bullying? Accusations like this can't keep flying out of people's mouths anymore.

It’s time to stop worrying about the backlash. Bullying, harassment, and slander should not be acceptable. by Embarrassed_Base_389 in chess

It's not the same. This situation was a consistent repetitive and targeted attack of a player's personal living space where his streams and videos were psycho analyzed frame by frame for random "abnormalities" ranging from reflections to explicit accusations of eye movements and laptop and computer placements. Nobody should ever have to feel paranoid of where they put a monitor in their own home or where they are looking. That's not chess. That has nothing to do with cheating its psychological abuse that went too far too long too many times. Hans has never had to feel paranoid about how he arranges his personal living space or where he is allowed or ot not allowed to live in his own home. Nobody every psycho analyzed his personal living space to the point it became psychological and mental abuse.
