Instant subscription! Amazing video! One thing that I like to say, is that I believe that Kramnik probably didn't cheat - mostly because even at that time, engines were just so far advanced, Kramnik would have won every single game... Even at that time, there was no way a Human being could win against an engine, they had already become monsters. But - Topalov was absolutely correct. If Kramnik wanted to cheat with somekind of engine - he could have... Why not allow the other person to even look at what is going on in there if not use the toilet...? Topalov didn't want to use Kramnicks toilet... He just wanted to make sure that there is nothing suspicious inside there... (And probably actually wasn't...). This goes to show that the highest amount of security should be pressent to prevent even the most outlandish of possible scenarios, JUST, to give both players a sence of relief, that there is no possible way that anyone can cheat. Because otherwise if you suspect that your opponent might be cheating, you can easily lose your mind, and play much worse chess than you would if you knew that your opponent is definately NOT cheating. So I agree with both Kramnik and Topalov - they should have allowed Topalov to see what was going on in the toilet any time he wanted since Kramnick didn't want to share toilets.
Hi Nuke,..glad you enjoyed the video! I kind of agree with your points,..although the part about allowing Topalov to see what goes on might have some privacy/ethical issues.
@@agilulf146 I agree that it is a privacy and ethical issue indeed, but I just can't think of another way, especially today, to prevent people from cheating... I can right now bring with me a tiny smart watch, keep it inside my socks or whatever, and then use it to find the best moves - today even the small processor of a smart watch is enough to beat top grand masters, so its clearly becoming more and more difficult to prevent and catch a potential cheater, something that won't necesserily make more people cheat - but it will definately make more people play worse chess, thinking that there is a chance that their opponent might be cheating... Unfortunatelly the "toilet" is becoming part of the game of chess itself 🤣
Is it a crazy idea to think that Kramnik is so actively hunting cheaters today (and accusing honest players too...) because he feels guilty about this one? He might have just checked a few moves on the phone to get some advantage, but not an overwhelming victory.
It's definitely interesting to see what he's doing now, given he was on the receiving end of the paranoia in this scandal,...but most people don't think he cheated

Glad you enjoyed it

Sad, but true. I'm working on the next video, and you won't believe how much chess drama has happened in toilets😂
great video, thanks for doing it!

Many champs make a run for cash: Fisher, Kasparov, Laver, Ali.... Magnus vs Gukesh will be the next.
Let's hope Magnus comes back to the WC
I love this video
Thanks
