For GM Danya

My hands are tired, I basically have frostbite, but I'll type this for GM Daniel Naroditsky:

He lived in my state and I always wanted to meet him. I never got to, but wished to do so one day. I couldn't believe it when I found out he had passed. I was so shocked. This is all I can say. I never really knew him, but he was an incredible streamer, GM, player, and person in general. I feel his family's pain. Rest in peace, Danya.

Just felt like I should address this because I felt compelled to write this on every forum I saw.

I loved watching his videos and listening to his commentary. He was encouraging and a great talent. I was shocked when I heard the news. I'm currently in NC and it feels like a void left in the community. What a loss. I hope that he's in a better place and that his legacy lives on in the game he helped champion. 🏆 Rest in peace. Danya.

Naroditsky's final stream was hard to watch. I really felt bad for him. All those games that got aborted wasn't right. He really had so much more to offer & his commentary was excellent. I'm probably going to watch some older videos of him. He was so respectful after the game with Ivanchuk when Ivanchuk began crying, the way he quietly sat with him.

Yes. Best person ever.

Thank you verelse1 for this montage video. The best comparison I can make is the way some people must be feeling about Daniel is the way I feel about my Tetris hero, Jonas Neubauer, who died suddenly of a heart attack in 2021. Forever loved, always remembered & an inspiration.
