crybabyhikaru .com Forgive my pettiness, the 80 defamatory YouTube videos a 40 year old made about me when I was 19 left a slight grudge.
Massive congratulations to @LandoNorris on his first Drivers’ Championship! He’s an incredible driver and he has proven that you can achieve your highest goals staying true to yourself! Congrats my muppet friend! Well deserved!
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.
in tears rn. not many times ive been this sad over someones death, especially someone i didnt know personally. my heart sank when i read the news and now i cant go to sleep. RIP Danya and thank you for the last 5 years of chess you brought to me.💔😭
