Vladimir Kramnik

14th World Champion

“Tsydypov is a good player, but scoring 12 wins, 8 losses and 4 draws against 2700+ FIDE group of players in latest consecutive money online games against absolutely best world players — 4 games against Carlsen, 2 against Nakamura, etc. — is not something you can leave without examination.

Tsydypov was disqualified from Levitov Online tournament happened on Lichess.org a few years ago after destroying me 5-2 without a slightest chance for me, and losing 0-5 next match against Savchenko two hours later. He was banned by the tournament organizers actually, to be precise, not sure about Lichess itself.

On Chess.com he recently had 1 year period without playing while being very active on Lichess.org at the time.

On Chessplanet.ru he is banned for cheating, I have screenshots.

Former Planeta Chess admin published on internet about a year ago, bans there with detailed reasoning for many, from those times archive. I have all the screenshots, if requested.

You can even verify that without much efforts, if you wanted, don’t find excuses my friends!

I have even already published Planeta Chess screenshots long ago, and asked players to contact me if the information about them is not correct. I promised to publish their refutation and apologize if they are right. No one did so far, but this offer is still in force.

Why hasn’t nobody confirmed bans? Because platforms do not provide information. I believe that it’s wrong to cover up cheating episodes, in money events especially, but this practice is established and not contested by nobody.

The only path would be making formal requests to platforms about certain players and hope they would provide information, something no one dares even to try.

On top, I am not prosecutor, but provide someone else’s information published, these are not my accusations but others.

Facts against covering facts. Bonne appetite!”
