So heartbreaking💔
Isn't this clip from Danya's last stream more than good enough to understand how much his mental health was affected by the baseless accusations by Kramnik?
@FIDE_chess Ethics Commission must step up and prevent Kramnik from playing with mental health of others
Dear friends, and chess family. A great tragedy happened to all of us with Daniel Naroditsky’s untimely death.
He was a kind soul. A person who cared about our game and loved people. One thing i am sure of, he would not want his death to enrage people and make us look for vengeance.
Losing a young and talented person , just like this is very hard, and to look for answers and to blame people is not going to do anything good to us.
We are all to blame , each in our own way.
Let us unite and aim to stop the cycle of hatred. Honor Danya’s legacy by providing help against cyber bullying.
Let us be there for each other and grow up as humans with kindness, humility and passion just as Daniel strived to be.
It's difficult to come to terms with the news we heard yesterday. Danya was so loved in the chess world. He was incredibly talented, as a chess player and also as a teacher, writer, and commentator. His passion for chess shone through when he was commentating and when he was competing. He was full of personality, fiercely intelligent, witty, funny, and most of all very kind and generous. It's impossible to overestimate how many people he affected in the chess world, whether friends, colleagues or people he taught and brought into the game.
I still vividly remember our two games from the U.S. Championship, in 2017 and 2021, split one win apiece. I can only wish we would have played more.
It feels like yesterday we were playing blitz and other board games in Germany earlier this year, but now also like an eternity ago.
My heart goes out to his family and friends. Rest in peace Daniel Naroditsky.

Senator Padilla chose disrespectful political theatre and interrupted a live press conference without identifying himself or having his Senate security pin on as he lunged toward Secretary Noem.
Mr. Padilla was told repeatedly to back away and did not comply with officers’ repeated commands. @SecretService thought he was an attacker and officers acted appropriately.
Secretary Noem met with Senator Padilla after and held a 15 minute meeting.
@united Hi, following up on lost item report #39831115. We spoke with a United agent at the Bogotá airport who confirmed they had our lost iPhone, and they later called us to confirm it’s in your possession. I also attached a Find My iPhone screenshot. Can we please get an update
