Do svid-Danya 💔

[Fabiano Caruana @FabianoCaruana]

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.

I've been sitting here numb for the past hour staring at this news. The world lost a brilliant man today. May his memory live on forever and may we always cherish his contributions to our beautiful game.

[Eric Rosen @IM_Rosen]

This is absolutely devastating. Danya was an amazing friend and role model not only for myself, but for so many in the chess community. My deepest condolences to his family, friends, and everyone who knew him. You’ll be dearly missed, Danya. Rest in peace.

[Viswanathan Anand @vishy64theking]

Really shocked at the passing away of GM. Daniel Naroditsky. An excellent chess commentator and educator . A genuinely nice person. A life gone too soon. My deepest condolences to his family. The chess world will miss his presence.

[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.

[Kasparov Chess @Kasparov_Chess]

It is with great sadness that the Kasparov Chess Foundation mourns the passing of GM Daniel Naroditsky, one of the brightest stars to emerge from our programs.
Danya’s talent, creativity, and love for chess inspired everyone who knew him, from students to fellow competitors.

[AL @wwormlover]

@CLTchesscenter So thankful Danya was part of my life. My heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and community

[AL @wwormlover]

@Zeidinio @CLTchesscenter Respectfully, please leave it be for the moment. this is the privacy they ask for

[AL @wwormlover]

heartbroken. This man taught me how to think about not only chess, but life in a way that's conducive to success. I've respected few men so much as I did Danya. Rest in peace

[Charlotte Chess Center @CLTchesscenter]

The Naroditsky family shares the sad news of Daniel’s unexpected passing. Daniel was a talented chess player, educator, and beloved member of the chess community. We ask for privacy as the family grieves.

@tywoosley23 ALSO do a yoga nidra routine before bed! Helps more than you would think

[AL @wwormlover]

@tywoosley23 Other honorable mentions, do a sleep study with a somnologist, stop eating 4 hours before bed, sunlight exposure immediately upon waking, a healthy diet rich with omega 3's and foods that help with melatonin secretion (fish, nuts, tart cherries, eggs, milk, legumes)

🔥🚨BREAKING: Prominent J6er Jake Lang uploaded footage of him kneeling on the neck of fellow J6er Phillip Anderson in an attempt to disprove George Floyd murder theory. This was filmed in front of the prison Derek Chauvin is being kept in.

[AL @wwormlover]

@rishigupta529 @GabbbarSingh The anger was clearly directed at himself, not Gukesh. He likely regrets slamming the table and knows he shouldn't have, but momentarily let emotions get the better of him. Chess is a brutal game and he is only human. Regrettable, but understandable behavior in my opinion.
