Přestřelku šachových velmistrů odstartoval Kramnikův loňský příspěvek na sociální síti X, v němž mistr světa z roku 2006 nepřímo obvinil několik hráčů světové špičky včetně Navary z podvodu. Podle jeho statistické analýzy hráli v partiích pod časovým tlakem až příliš přesně.
Navara se podle svých slov nejprve snažil nařčení řešit se světovou šachovou federací FIDE, ale marně. „Byl jsem úplně šokován tím, že mě takto spojil s podváděním. Musel jsem kontaktovat psychiatra a psychoterapeuta krátce poté, co jsem četl tweet velmistra Kramnika, protože mě to úplně vyvedlo z rovnováhy,“ uvedl Navara v dopise, který v květnu sdílely šachové weby.
Kramnik se hájil tím, že nikoho konkrétně neobvinil, a vyzval Navaru, ať se mu omluví, nebo podá žalobu kvůli ochraně osobnosti před nepravdivými a hanlivými výroky. Dnes na svém účtu na sociální síti X uvedl, že žalobu podal.

Deontay Wilder scores stoppage knockout of Tyrrell Herndon for first win in three years
Deontay Wilder is back in the win column. After losing back-to-back fights and four of five, the former WBC heavyweight champion returned to the ring in Wichita, Kansas to stop Tyrrell Herndon in the seventh round on Friday.Wilder was much more aggressive in the opening round than he was against Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang, pushing forward behind the jab. Herndon did little beyond circling away and looking to avoid contact, which he did well, avoiding most of Wilder's fire. Wilder continued to pressure in the second round and scored his first knockdown with a cuffing left hook that caught Herndon off balance and sent him stumbling to the canvas. Not particularly hurt by the shot, Herndon survived the round. As the rounds ticked by, Herndon tried to find small spots to unload big punches, and when he threw, Wilder […]
The legacy of Lionel Messi’s underwhelming time as a Paris Saint-Germain player
May 2023 proved to be a watershed month for Paris Saint-Germain.Up to that point, the French giants’ sporting project seemed to be faltering, certainly in relation to their ultimate goal of lifting the Champions League. Serial winners domestically, PSG had reached the point where only success in Europe’s premier club competition could bring them the validation they craved.AdvertisementThe problem they had was that nothing they did seemed to bring them closer. Even the signing of one of the world’s greatest players in Lionel Messi, who joined on a free transfer in August 2021, had not sufficiently moved the dial. If anything, adding the Argentinian to a front line already containing fellow stars Kylian Mbappe and Neymar only served to create additional layers of complexity and dysfunction.Two years on, they are finally European champions thanks to a 5-0 rout of Inter […]
Club World Cup prize money rankings: How much has each team earned so far?
Forty-eight games down, 15 to go.FIFA’s new, engorged Club World Cup has completed its group stage, 16 clubs are on their way home and, over the next fortnight, the remaining 16 will tussle to lift a trophy so gaudy even Louis XIV might have turned his nose up at it.Alongside that (notably heavy) trinket, whoever runs out victorious in East Rutherford in mid-July will also bank themselves a hefty cash prize. The winners of this summer’s tournament will earn a further $74.1million (£54m), including $40m from the final alone, on top of what they have already pocketed from the competition — and much of FIFA’s $1billion prize pot has now been allocated.AdvertisementEven before the round of 16 begins, we already know where nearly three-quarters of the money will go: $525m in participation fees were doled out before a ball was […]
Have Club World Cup attendances really been that bad?
The group stage of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup has concluded and 48 of the tournament’s 63 matches have now taken place.The competition, which is being hosted in the United States, drew plenty of criticism in the build-up — including for how many games were being held in large, out-of-town stadiums in cities traditionally lacking in football (or soccer) fandom.AdvertisementSo what have attendances actually been like? How many stadiums have come close to filling all of their seats? How have crowd sizes compared to the American-hosted 1994 men’s World Cup and previous Club World Cups? And which have been the most and least-watched teams and groups at the tournament?Here, The Athletic dives into the numbers and lays out the facts surrounding the attendances so far.Firstly, this is what the attendance has been at each game so far at the […]
‘Long and slow’: For stagnant Wild, let’s hope Day 2 of the NHL Draft is more eventful than Day 1
ST. PAUL, Minn. — Well, just like Bill Guerin said it would be, that sure was boring.The Minnesota Wild didn’t have a first-round pick Friday for Day 1 of the NHL Draft after their trade with the Columbus Blue Jackets last November to acquire David Jiricek, the 21-year-old defenseman and No. 6 pick in the 2022 NHL Draft.AdvertisementIn the locker room of the Wild’s practice facility, the team created a remote war room draped with Wild sweaters in the background, including a special one with the nameplate “SHERO,” which, unfortunately for them, never saw the light of day on the big screen at Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.The camera and Internet connection were set up in case the Wild somehow regained a first-round pick and could welcome a new player virtually.But instead, for more than four hours during what felt […]
