    I call home after my tournament and my son Akhil tells me, "Appa I'm playing rook roller checkmate." So I suggest a move. Then he says, "According to FunMasterMike on @ChessKidcom you don't do that!" So I ask him who is this FunMasterMike?

    What is wrong with you Emil? When you have a friend that is struggling you reach to that friend in private. You would never talk about someone’s mental health publicly if you wanted to help. You have no way of knowing how his friends reached out to him. Your tweet is gross.
