The death of Daniel Naroditsky at the age of only 29 has
come as a great shock. Naroditsky was a well known
chess commentator and streamer who became a GM
in 2013 and had a peak rating of 2647 in May 2017.
His play was limited to mostly blitz in recent
years, both online and over the board, although his fifth and final appearance in the US
Championships was as recent as 2021.
