Former world chess champion may face discipline for treatment of Daniel Naroditsky
"Chess's international governing body said Wednesday it's considering disciplinary action against a Russian former world champion who persistently leveled unproven cheating allegations at Daniel Naroditsky in the year leading up to the American grandmaster's death. The Charlotte Chess Center in North Carolina, where Naroditsky trained and worked as a coach, announced his death Monday. He was 29. The cause of death has not been made public."
"Russian grandmaster Vladimir Kramnik, who held the world title for several years in the early 2000s, began accusing the California-born pro of cheating in online chess last October. He continued to share his suspicions on social media over the past year without providing substantial evidence. Naroditsky, who at 18 became a grandmaster, the highest title in chess aside from world chess champion, had denied the cheating allegations and accused Kramnik of trying to ruin his life."
FIDE is considering disciplinary action against Vladimir Kramnik for repeatedly making unproven online cheating allegations against Daniel Naroditsky in the year before Naroditsky's death. The Charlotte Chess Center announced Naroditsky's death; he was 29 and cause has not been made public. Kramnik began accusing Naroditsky last October and continued on social media without providing substantial evidence. Naroditsky denied the allegations and said Kramnik tried to ruin his life. FIDE president Arkady Dvorkovich referred Kramnik's public statements to the Ethics and Disciplinary Commission, which requires substantial evidence before launching cheating investigations and may sanction unfounded accusations.
