There happens to be a revolving restaurant in Kochi. Its obviously on one of the upper floors of a building. Guess what's on the ground floor ?

my therapist changed my life when he taught me there are 4 types of conversation:

1) small talk (weather, etc)
2) swapping (you tell a story, I tell a story)
3) listening (you tell a story, I listen/validate)
4) problem-solving (you tell me a story, I help solve the problem)

Words can’t describe how heartbreaking the passing of my coach, Daniel Naroditsky, is.

Just a few days before the Grand Swiss tournament in Uzbekistan which took place a little more than a month ago, I asked him to coach and accompany me.

Even though it was a last-minute request and he had to travel across the world to reach Samarkand, he booked his flight and figured everything out within hours. That’s who he was, always there, never hesitating to help.

We spent an amazing half month together. I’ll always be grateful for those days and everything I learned from him.

Danya was the most genuine person I have ever known.

I’ll never forget our late night bullet matches over the past 10 years. he was the only person in the world who regularly beat me in those.

Danya, your legacy lives on forever.
I’m sure somewhere up there, you’re playing blitz and discussing history with the greats.

The guy keeps growing bigger and bigger in stature

Cause close to my heart: Child abuse and bullying (both online and offline). Mental and physical trauma inflicted on children is a real problem in places like India. Please support organizations working on this front.

Chess has been kind to me financially - don't worry!

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

The outpouring of love for Danny and the countless testimonials to the impact of his friendship, kindness, and love of chess from so many say more about the magnitude of this terrible loss than I ever could. A bright star forever in the sky. RIP.

[Daniel Rensch @DanielRensch]

Danya was more than an amazing, inspirational face and voice of our game, he was a friend and brother. The news is devastating for the chess world and all who knew him. It’s impossible to put words to this kind of loss. My love, thoughts and prayers are with his family.

[Arthur @ArthurTV]

I genuinely cannot believe this. He was my favourite chess teacher and content creator ever. I watch him all the time, if I'm eating alone or travelling anywhere I'm almost always watching his videos. I've never felt this devastated by the passing of a public figure in my entire life. A brilliant player, a passionate and inspiring teacher, and by all accounts a genuinely wonderful human being.

May he rest in peace and his legacy live on.

[Nihal Sarin @NihalSarin]

Completely heartbroken. Daniel was not just someone I played thousands of games with on @chesscom and @lichess - he was a brilliant mind and a gifted teacher. (1/3)

[Áz @absurdistoic]

when you ask someone who's the
BEST PLAYER EVER,
they might name FISCHER, KASPAROV or MAGNUS But, when you ask them who they want to play like or whose games they enjoy most - all answers will unanimously be MIKHAIL TAL !!
and, that tells you something

[Manu @manu_varma]

@sidin I've heard this about Gautam Gambhir. He hates to lose apparently.

[Manu @manu_varma]

@sidin Is this a sly about Shiv Aroor?

[Manu @manu_varma]

@peeleraja Interesting. Have you tried changing your bank ?

[Manu @manu_varma]

@FarziCricketer Partly due to the hope that he may bowl faster than Shoaib Akhtar

HIDDEN CRICKET FIELD IN THE HEART OF KERALA

Palapilly Ground in Thrissur sits like an emerald gem, surrounded entirely by dense forest.

A secluded pitch where cricket meets pure nature.

Easily one of the most beautiful playgrounds in India.
