The day Kramnik accused me of cheating

Before we jump into the game - on which Kramnik bases his theory -, let me clarify one thing: in my view Vladimir is one of the all-time greatest and even Nakamura, another accused person, said it in one of his newest streams. BUT, in recent years Kramnik has clearly done a lot to damage his own reputation by his constant accusations and dramas. I do agree with him that cheating - especially online - is a big problem nowadays, but his methods aren't correct. I would refer to Navara's - one of the nicest players I've ever met! - blogpost (https://lichess.org/@/RealDavidNavara/blog/because-we-care/fauAwr9r) on this topic, not to mention newer developments...

But now, let me show my game against Big Vlad:

THE AFTERMATH:

It was Round 4, just before the usual 6-minute break, so immediately after the game Kramnik posted on Twitter (sorry, I will never get used to X):

Since it was hard to decode his words as anything else than a hidden accusation of using engine assistance, which I obviously reject (after all, he was much better and then winning at some point), I felt obliged to defend myself once the tournament ended:

You can see that Kramnik relied on the accuracy and rating performance (3350) scores, but as I was simply lost between move 28 and 30, it's hard to call it reliable. The game generated so much debate that even the king of Twitter, Giri himself posted about it:

After a couple of days the storm passed and I felt really grateful for people's support shown in comments. (The link to the actual game is: https://www.chess.com/game/live/101581277179, while you can find the whole discussion here: https://x.com/VBkramnik/status/1757447161170567374). Despite the aftermath leaving a bitter feeling, that day is still a good memory for me. After all, I made a draw against a former World Champion!

I hope you enjoyed my post and analysis on the game. What do you think about cheating in chess? And what is your opinion about Kramnik (both as a person and a chess player)? Let me know in comment!
