The Ukrainian city of Vovchansk has been pummelled by Russian forces. Hospitals, schools, residential blocks and more have been flattened. Now, a new analysis suggests close to 80% of buildings in the city have been either damaged or destroyed. bellingcat.com/news/2024/10/…

Naroditsky saying he's ready to make peace if Kramnik will stop attacking him. Kramnik [lengthy interlude on chesscom's monopoly] but otherwise yes I agree too

Phil Lesh, the Grateful Dead's co-founder and bassist, has died at age 84.
"Phil brought immense joy to everyone around him and leaves behind a legacy of music and love."

Kramnik keeps coming back to this point: no one supported him when people were criticizing him. He seems ready to make peace with Naroditsky. Kramnik doesn't seem to have any real doubts about Naroditsky as a chess player. He just wants someone to stick up for him sometimes
I would just like to stress that @VBkramnik has been arguing with @GmNaroditsky for close to two hours on @LevitovChess and hasn't turned his camera on
content
Conversation has taken a weird turn. Levitov accusing Naroditsky of "farming" at @CLTchesscenter. Ie boosting his chess rating by beating up on weaker players
Kramnik: I understand that in some places I'm exaggerating (on cheating), in some cases I'm too tough. I would almost apologize for it. But chesscom and others are pouring crap on me for a year and no one has said a word in my defense
