Overview
- FIDE formally submitted the complaint on November 11, naming Kramnik as respondent over repeated public cheating claims targeting Daniel Naroditsky and David Navara.
- The filing frames potential violations related to harassment and the insulting of an individual’s dignity and includes materials spanning roughly two years.
- Testimony from David Navara and information from people close to Naroditsky are included for the commission’s independent review.
- EDC chair Yolander Persaud outlined that, if admitted, Kramnik will be notified and have up to three weeks to respond before a panel deliberates.
- FIDE president Arkady Dvorkovich said he requested Kramnik’s full scientific methodology and received none, while Kramnik denies wrongdoing as prominent players criticize his conduct; Naroditsky’s cause of death has not been made public.
