OP @omprava12

I can say something really snarky on this to ragebait Gotham fans and get a lot of engagement, but I'm not gonna do that. I will just say that I hope Gukesh performs well and proves everyone wrong. Best of luck to my world champion! 🤞🙏

Now they're even using chess for their racist propoganda. See how they distort facts to suit their narrative. And of course, as long as you're being racist, it will definitely get insane reach even if you are a small account. Look at how disgusting the comments and QTs are. To make things clear, that's not cheating, it's an illegal move. The IM just didn't see the check in time trouble, he got penalized for it, fairly ordinary in chess. Btw, that's a Canadian born IM, not even an indian national, but it doesn't matter of course as long as he's brown, poor fella is getting so much hate for absolutely no reason. It's disgusting.
