We respect you

Daniel Naroditsky

Grandmaster Daniel “Danya” Naroditsky was one of the most inspiring chess players and teachers in the world. His death was a great loss to the chess community. Danya was not only a brilliant player but also a kind and passionate teacher who helped many people love chess.

I still remember watching his chess streams and videos. He always explained every move with patience and humor. He made even the hardest positions easy to understand. His lessons helped me improve my thinking and love for the game. Sometimes, he would tell funny stories from his tournaments, which made me laugh and learn at the same time.

What I liked most about Danya was his sportsmanship. He respected every opponent and always focused on learning, not just winning. His calm attitude taught me that chess is not only a battle of pieces but also a journey of the mind.

Even though Danya is gone, his words and games will stay with us forever. Every time I move a chess piece, I remember his voice explaining how to think deeply and play with heart. Grandmaster Danya may have left the world, but his spirit will always live in the hearts of chess lovers everywhere.
