Levon Aronian Urges Vladimir Kramnik To Reconcile Amidst Fiery Legal Dispute
The case stems from allegations Kramnik made concerning online cheating in chess, which triggered significant backlash and raised questions about the handling of such accusations within the chess world. Addressing Kramnik directly in a post on X (formerly Twitter), Aronian began: 'Dear VBKramnik, Forgive me for addressing you publicly, but I feel that the chess world and the new generation need to know about who you are—and I want you to remember it as well." Aronian's message served as both a personal reflection and a public call for healing. He spoke of his long-standing admiration for Kramnik, whom he referred to as one of his 'chess parents," acknowledging the Russian legend's profound influence on his development as a player. 'My dear friend, I want to share something I feel that I haven't yet shared with you… The last few years after you retired, I, to my surprise, saw a different Vlad that I never knew." Describing Kramnik as a visionary who transformed the game, Aronian urged him to reconsider his current path. 'I know you as the biggest revolutionary when it comes to chess," he wrote. 'You challenged every single dogma and proved that you understand the core of chess like nobody before or after you. I ask you, as a friend who has always been open and honest to you, please, challenge your convictions." Background: A Divisive Accusation The controversy began earlier this year when Kramnik suggested, without hard evidence, that David Navara may have cheated during online games. In response, Navara published a heartfelt letter detailing the emotional toll the accusation had taken on his mental health. Rather than retract the allegation, Kramnik demanded legal redress or silence—ultimately opting to pursue legal action. 'We Are a Family" Aronian's message seeks to de-escalate the situation and promote unity in the chess world.

Tesla first showed off this kind of hands-free driving in April, when it posted a video of cars moving from its Texas factory floor to parking lots on their own.
