Announcing My New Series About Naroditsky. Rest In Peace
Daniel Naroditsky first learned chess at the age of 6, from his father, Vladimir. Since that day, Daniel Naroditsky won countless games, competitions, and challenged legends such as Magnus and Hikaru, being one of the key players surrounding their respected opponents.
You all might remember where you were when you first heard about Naroditsky's passing. I was awaiting a boring, South Australian Tuesday. I have already mentioned part of the story on this blog, talking about a petition about punishing Vladimir Kramnik for what he has done recently. His cyberbullying was the reason I ranted for so long. It had completely crossed the line for many. However, I'll admit that that was very rushed, so I missed errors and made it one of my worse blogs.
I remember rushing out the house getting ready for the day at around 8:00 AM. Not aware that the news had already started to come out. Even before I left. So that ties all the way back to what I said in the blog I've already talked about. This is the exact words I wrote:
"I was out of the house when I heard about it. It was about 2:30 PM in Adelaide. I was bored and looked on a laptop. I looked at Wikipedia. And I looked at the front page to find the recent deaths: He was right there. Right on the top. I told my friend about it. he didn't believe it. I didn't either. I was completely shocked. I did some more research. It was true. As soon as I got home, I rushed to the computer. people were talking about it, Gothamchess made a video about it. It was true. All true."
