Well folks, this does not sound good for Yoo. Levon Aronian posted this: "Ivan, I saw the video and it’s awful. It was a well prepared punch to a completely innocent person. The club’s action is very mild, I assure you. We need to acknowledge that chess is a very tough mental sport. Mental health awareness and training for our young players is a must"

I don't believe the video he referenced has been released yet, but it sounds like the incident was caught on camera.

Wonderful message Nelson! It's importance to have balance in life

This month in chess is just crazy bro.. 😭

7:52 this is very wholesome stuff. As a Christian and family guy myself, I wish there were more like you in the chess world. Glad that you're well-grounded, keep it up! ✊

Yess nelson! love that your family and faith is important! Great message!!!

[mmeewezen]

This was a very important message... and, also thank you for sharing our faith.

[rife]

Really nice message, Nelson. It's so lovely that you mentioned your faith and family. And had such a positive way of looking at things

[Ozasuke]

7:58 Amen, brother. And our faith isn’t just something to fall back on but rather the root of everything. Thank you for sharing this!

[kalelpi]

Love that you shared the two things that help ground you in life. Absolutely !

[davidjoseph]

Good job Nelson I really like all the points you made about us not really knowing what really happened and about having other things in life etc. Solid video.

[GlazedYeti]

Love watching you and hearing your perspective, Nelson! Thanks for bringing value to our world

[Alvorax]

Your comment on having perspective on games is very true, focusing too much on any hobby or interest can and will have detrimental effects on your life as a whole if you let it take over your life.

Stay humble, stay grounded

Wait, there were players scheduled to face me in the remaining rounds ? I was never told

[rajeevranjanjha]

I CAME AS SOON AS I READ IT (an excuse to take a break from studying)

[wouterkok]

He couldn't be frustrated by the videographer trying to ask him some questions as the guy was struck from behind...

[praf]

I can always count on Nelson for delivering the best chess hot news among the other creators

[rafaelduran]

Man! I didn't know you were a Christian. I knew there was something different about you, like you had the grace of the Lord. That's what makes you different from all the other chess instructors. It's nice to have a brother in the faith! Stay sharp, play smart, and take care!

Wise words, Nelson. Thank you for taking the time and effort to use this incident as a "teachable moment." Balance in life is key. Josh Waitzkin echoed a similar sentiment. Whether it's faith, basketball, family, photography, dancing, literally anything ... we all need balance to keep our travails (and victories!) in perspective.
