FIDE is just such an awful cancer on the back of chess at this point.
If Emil offers some backtracking apology, it shouldn’t be accepted. He’s too bereft of humanity to realize that perhaps the reason why people may have not wanted to support Danya as much publicly is because to do so would put you straight in the crosshairs of Kramnik, and no one want’s to be harassed for years by him.
Where were they Emil? They were being forced to hide because your organization failed every player of the game, and as the head of the organization, that is your fault. FIDE should have illegitimized Kramink years ago.
A new governing body for chess, made by the players of the game has to be established and FIDE should be boycotted into non-existence.
He hasn’t apologised, but he did make a gaslighting clarification. Nemo roasted him for it, so he blocked her.
But here’s the true mark of when you know you’ve acted like a complete dick - Anna Cramling, of all people, has (politely, of course) called him out.
