The world chess federation (Fide) has announced it will investigate former world champion Vladimir Kramnik over claims he harassed and bullied US grandmaster Daniel Naroditsky before his death at the age of 29.
Naroditsky’s sudden death this week has led to an outpouring of grief and anger among the chess community, with many prominent grandmasters and streamers pointing the finger towards Kramnik after leading a year-long campaign accusing Naroditsky of cheating during online matches.
