I don't know anyone who loved chess like Danya. He played 140K games on Chess.com. Many more on ICC and lichess. He'd even play in the breaks in commentary. His love of the game was infectious and eloquent, and he will be deeply missed. 💔 chess.com/news/view/gran…

I'm deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Danya Every time I logged into Chess.com, I would see his challenge for a game , It’s hard to believe that I won’t see it anymore. My heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones.

Rest in peace Daniel Naroditsky. You had always been one of us. A true colleague and a friend. You have an upbeat, smart, and charming personality. You had a wonderful and great life awaiting you, which was cut abruptly short. I remember first meeting you in Quebec back in 2012

Extremely saddened by the news 😢 Deepest Condolences to Daniel Naroditsky’s family and friends 🙏

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

As I go through my second sleepless night, I continue to process my emotions. I didn’t know Danya closely, but his loss feels deeply personal. Danya was a good person and a valued member of the chess family. During this time, Nemo, Nihal Sarin, Hikaru Nakamura, and many others

Words don't feel sufficient. I still don't want to believe it 💔 Thank you so much Danya for our blitz sessions, our late night calls, for sharing the mic with me during commentary, for the laughs, and for teaching me so much. You were always a beacon of light. We all miss you.

A beloved chess player, coach, mentor, commentator and friend. Danya, we love you.

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

"Danya Naroditsky was happiest when he was educating others. The genuine joy he felt in thinking/knowing/feeling that he had found an effective way to explain (and inspire!) someone toward learning chess is what made him happy." (Daniel Rensch)

Séb Krier and I are pretty floored by the quality of MATS applicants

My questions (all not clear from their blog post): • Have the attorneys general approved this plan? • In what sense will the foundation 'remain in control' of the Public Benefit Corporation, other than the ability to hire and fire PBC directors? • What will the PBC do to
