What is your take on the Cheating Scandal and on the upcoming event?

Clash of Claims | A Double-edged Tournament

The issue spawned a live chess event. Levy Rozman [Gothamchess] announces on his video that he has a direct participation, in organizing the very first live chess event with this kind of theme/type, along with David Martinez and Pepe Cuenca. The Clash of Claims is going to be held at Gran Via Casino, Madrid, Spain. A three-day tournament from June 07, 2024, up until June 09, 2024. Players will play 18-games of OTB game, and another 18-games of online game [still facing each other]. This could redefine the Chess Community; with players proving someone’s claim is wrong; possibly a more personal hatred-driven match, and somewhat unethical [in Chess World]. A double-edged kind of competition that could make or break the reputation of the players involved.

Could you please explain more about it? Who will play? Is buying tickets needed? And where can I find more information? Tank you.

I think it will be entertaining and good. Either Kramnik will be proven wrong or [fair play violator] will be banned.
