Nobody is talking about this but the equivalent of magnus carlsen in xiangqi (chinese chess) has been put behind bars 3 month ago.
Everybody was in disbelief when they saw that but now the chinese gouvernement is cracking down on every top players that were cheating.
So kramnik is not that crazy. It is possible for very respected top players in a respected game to be cheating.
For those who do not know xiangqi it's an extremmelly popular chess like game in china, thailand, vietnam etc.. The king is stuck in a palace so there's always mating attacks.
