Tone[edit]

The tone of the article appears excessively positive, to the point of bias. One IP address and one signed up member frequently posting. Suspicious, maybe even conflict of interest. Jkmaskell (talk) 22:56, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Also there's no mention of the cheating accusations and ban against him from chess.com (or the controversy about chess.com not providing proof of such accusations and bans in general, but it's still noteworthy, it was talked about quite a bit) --2A02:8108:8200:23C9:2882:FA47:C5C6:6191 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 03:54, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

--I agree. Its a noteworthy controversy given Chess.com purported accuracy in being certain of their "convicting" before banning. It should be mentioned given its a significant issue that Akshat himself wrote in protest about. 76.14.117.19 (talk) 14:11, 10 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Grandmaster[edit]

The article should precede the word grandmaster here by USCF. A player achieving a rating of 2500 does not become an international FIDE grandmaster as the article implies. Abenr (talk) 21:17, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
