There seems to be a bit of personal animus between Nakamura and Kramnik for whatever reason. I agree that Kramnik should not have made the accusation in the first place (and neither Nakamura nor Carlsen should have made a similar claim against Niemann last year). Cheating accusations by one player against another simply should not made or implied. If a player suspects his opponent is cheating, he should report those suspicions to tournament officials, and it is they who should investigate and, if cheating is verified, make it public.
