I've been playing chess for almost 6 years and I'm 24.

@OnTheQueenside Even though she is 2100? How did she get the IM title directly? I believe you but just never heard of this happening before

@Borg_Cryptos 1-0 to France

@OnTheQueenside @chesscom That's an actual real achievement, 3000 bullet is easy. Beginners won't understand that 3000 blitz takes actual skill. Well done Polina (but I think Tan Zhongyi did this in 2022 so Polina is the second to achieve it)

Over the years, I've watched many of his YT videos, but I didn't know him hardly at all. But I knew he was witty, funny, kind, talented, and overall a wonderful person. I still can hardly believe what happened. The world won't be the same without him. RIP Daniel Naroditsky.

I’ve been quiet because I didn’t know how to put this into words. I heard the news about Danya early yesterday morning, and I still can’t believe he’s gone.

I’ve known Danya since we were kids. We became real friends in college, and over the years I had the privilege of working with him countless times. Everyone knew him as brilliant, humble, and exceptionally talented, but what stood out most to me was how deeply kind and selfless he was.

One memory that’s stuck with me: we were studying for a history exam together. He didn’t need to be there, he could’ve aced it without trying, but he stayed to help me anyway. At one point, he left his Facebook open and I thought it’d be funny to post a joke status that he was quitting chess (stupid, I know). The joke spread and upset a lot of people. He never told me. I only learned years later from someone else how much chaos it caused. He’d kept it to himself so he wouldn’t make me feel bad. That was Danya. Always putting others first, never needing credit for it.

The world, not just the chess world, lost a rare kind of light. Danya probably never fully grasped how much he positively impacted people, but I hope his legacy reminds us of it.

My deepest condolences to his loved ones. I cannot imagine the pain you are feeling right now.

RIP friend. If heaven exists, I know you’re there 🤍

I am heartbroken by Danya’s passing. We both grew up in the Bay Area, and I looked up to him from a young age. I vividly remember our first blitz games when I was nine, he was kind and generous with his advice afterward. Years later, I ran into him on a flight home from the Reykjavik Open. I nervously approached him, but his warmth and willingness to talk immediately put me at ease. As my chess career continued, we played countless blitz games, and I credit a large part of my improvement to those battles. Danya’s kindness, wisdom, and love for the game left a lasting mark on me. I offer my sincerest condolences to his family and loved ones. We will all miss you dearly.
