ChessBae - The World's Greatest Ever Chess Mod/Supporter/Fan Gets Moderated Herself
ChessBae aka Danya has been a huge impact on Chess. A force for the good and very supportive to chess streamers with the huge donations and subs she gave when it wasn't entirely clear what was being rewarded or encouraged. Okay so the chess drama aka #chessdrama is a series of events that led to chess.com/Hikaru Nakamura removing Chessbae as mod and streamer from chess.com tv and twitch channels. This seems to stem from an over reach of power by chessbae in issuing at least one confirmed strike against Chessbrahs and another unconfirmed through Alireza Firoujza's channel (then managed by Chessbae also). Danny Rensch has distanced himself and chess.com from the fiasco stating in a rather cut and dried statement on Reddit thanking Danya (ChessBae) for her work but stressing she was never a chess.com staff and that some of her actions were not in keeping with chess.com's ethos though on the whole she was a force for good.
