Chess Grandmaster sparks cheating allegations after quitting game in one move Chess.comChess Grandmaster Vladimir Kramnik has sparked up cheating allegations by quitting a game after only making one move. Cheating allegations in Chess are far and wide as even some of the game\u2019s biggest names like Hikaru Nakamura have been embroiled in their own allegation sagas. In particular, Grandmaster Vladimir Kramnik has too been embroiled in his own scandals, however, on the side as the accuser when he levied a series of allegations against Hikaru that were eventually shut down by Chess.com. Now, Kramnik has once again been put into the spotlight as he is refusing to play against certain players with questionable statistics. During his match against GM Jose \u201cJospem\u201d Martinez in Chess.com\u2019s Tilted Tuesday tournament, Kramnik resigned from the match after making only one move, right after Jospem had taken his second move. He would later talk about it on his live stream, explaining that he is choosing not to play against certain players with statistics he found questionable until Chess.com looks into it. \u201cI might not play, just resigning, against people whose statistics are very unusual,\u201d Kramnik said. He stressed that it isn\u2019t a direct accusation of the players, but rather a protest against Chess.com for not explaining the unusual numbers. \u201cAnd I just want to make it sure that it\u2019s not an accusation, it\u2019s not because of them even so, but it\u2019s my kind of protest,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s why please don\u2019t take it wrong, I mean, it\u2019s not an accusation, but since I publish a lot of statistics and you all see that there are a lot of questions and there\u2019s complete silence from Chess.com on it.\u201d He went on to explain that until Chess.com releases a report on the statistics, he will continue to not play with the players. Chess.com has yet to respond to Kramnik\u2019s allegations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
