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.
