A first time Grandmaster Titled Arena winner and Nakamura's forbidden platform.

Hey! I do think that, Hikaru is a great, great player. None of the chess application can be without accepting him. There are many fans for him from chess.com.

This comes across a little unhinged.

Did you know that Hikaru's net worth is $50 million?

Puts a strange twist on this for me.
With regard to the question "are UNICEF and the World Wildlife Fund sworn enemies?" I am pretty sure they are competing over scarce resources (willingness of people to donate money) and would not appreciate it if someone who has signed an exclusive contract with them suddenly worked for someone else even if it was a charity.
People feel ashamed of admitting that the thing they got for free from the store is actually much much better than the most expensive thing they bought from the store. Only those who care less about social prestige and more about the "true value" can appreciate the treasure that is open source.

The other site basically bribes top grandmasters with the money they looted from innocent guys in order to manipulate other innocent guys, and the loop goes on. The irony is that all of this is legal.
