GM David Navara — one of Czech Republic's greatest players — opens up about the darkest year of his life. After being included in Kramnik's controversial statistics, David faced accusations from Kramnik's fans, fell into depression and even had thoughts of ending his own life. Despite his appeals, FIDE remained silent, adding to his suffering. We discuss the full story, Kramnik's dangerous methods, and how to make these statistics safer. Plus: David's chaotic lifestyle, online chess addiction, and how he stays competitive at 40. I hope this episode helps everyone understand the real human cost of careless accusations.
