    I don’t know how many other chess players there are on Clutchfans, but the news of Daniel Naroditsky’s passing hit me pretty hard last night. He was a Grand Master who, in my mind, was the best YouTube chest instructor there was. I picked chess back up around the beginning of Covid and I spent hours watching his videos and he truly did make a difference in how I thought about the game of chess. He always seemed like an incredibly genuine guy and it hurts me to see him go so young.

    I don’t know what else to say, but I just thought I’d share this here because I had nowhere else to share it.

    So I put it in the wrong one I guess. I’m glad we have someone like you policing this incredibly important issue. You are so cool!

    Wow, he was a great player, I had the honor of playing him a few times on chess.com. He was so young, RIP Danya. and best wishes to his family.

    You played him?! Wow how cool is that? Yeah it’s such a bummer. He looked like he was going through something in his last stream.
