It's been brought to my attention that there's videos published on social media claiming I've made various statements about the US election, related to election integrity. These are part of a Russian disinformation campaign, and the quotes are fabricated, but it's nice to know

What did @cwarzel get when he created a new X account, said he liked tech, culture, gaming & sports, and followed only ESPN? Posts by Musk, Trump and MAGA-influencers—along with recommendations to stock up on food, water and guns. https://t.co/ZQ7LP4Zjmz

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

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

Kramnik: there are strict orders: no one is allowed to let me on their English language streams.

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: answer the questions Naroditsky: sure Levitov: please don't start over from the start
