This whole drama is stupid, resting on the unproven premises that Danya killed himself, that a highly intelligent 29-year-old would be defenseless against accusations of cheating, and that it's unethical to question whether someone is playing honestly (no one is asking for Magnus's head). I find it hard to imagine that FIDE would dignify this nonsense.

@CraigDemel even if Danya died naturally, Kramnik still has been accusing other top players of cheating, and Naroditsky's death(whether caused by it or not) draws more attention to Kramnik's baseless claims.

for the question of it being "unethical to question" whether someone is playing honestly, I personally believe it is completely fine. However, kramnik had been repeatedly harassing naroditsky through posts and public accusations of cheating. even after danya's death, he still creates insensitive posts, poking at a dead person.

even if a grandmaster like naroditsky could have refuted the claims against him(if he was honest that is), the constant public pressure, insinuations, and suspicion can be crippling.

@epic The proper response to Kramnik is to tell him to put up or shut up, and to ignore the dramaphiles. The chess community is not well served by people who go off half cocked without once thinking to ask, "is this true?" about anything. Part of what makes chess great is that the nature of the game punishes haphazard hypothesizing.
