GM Daniel Naroditsky, the popular U.S. grandmaster, commentator, creator, educator, and author, unexpectedly passed away on Sunday at the age of only 29.
If you follow the chess world at all, this is devastating news.
I’ve watched my share of his chess streams and his commentaries - he seemed like a straight up super nice guy with an unbelievable talent at chess.
There’s a certain older GM that has basically been bullying people and making wild accusations about rated players who cheat at the game. He’s had his sites on Danya for a while - I hope none of that had anything to do with this….
