Why is Daniel Naroditsky's speedrun account banned?
Sort:
GM Daniel Naroditsky's speedrun account named OhMyLands has recently been banned from chess.com for violating fair use. Obviously it is him since he posted several videos of himself playing on that account to his YouTube channel.
But why is his account banned? In my opinion, Danya is one of the most instructional chess content creators out there. Was it a mistake?
If it was, this reflects badly on chess.com since random strong players can be new to online chess but destroy everyone until they get to their real rating strength.
Idk, this is madness!!!

It's possible it wasn't an approved speedrun account.
But this isn't really an allowed subject. If it's his account, he knows how to contact the site.
