I am in shock as many of you are by the passing of GM Daniel Naroditsky. I still can’t believe it, it feels like a bad dream that you just want to wake up from. My sincere condolences to his family, friends, and all of us in the chess world who admired him the most. Thank you to all you have done for us, Danya. We will always remember you as the world’s best commentator and content creator. Rest in Peace, Daniel Naroditsky.

I know 25 things about you from where I am:

1. You are a human.

2. You are reading this

3. You didn’t notice that I forgot to put a period after #2.

4. You just checked if I did.

5. You smiled when I predicted that, even if only a little.

7. You ate food in the last 24 hours.

8. You are on a device.

9. You skipped #6.

10. You just checked back to see if there was a #6.

11. You cliked on my chess.com profile to get here.

12. You live somewhere on Earth.

13. You looked at the previous image.

14. You scrolled your device while reading my bio.

15. You are wondering about something non-chess related in the back of your mind.

16. You are now wondering how I knew that.

17. You didn’t notice or forgot that I misspelled “clicked” when typing #11.

18. You scrolled up to check if I really did misspell “clicked.”

1 9. You speak English, or at least understand it.

20. You didn’t notice that I put a tiny space between “1” and “9” in “19.”

21. You checked and strained to see the space, then laughed at yourself. 😀

22. You saw the emoji I typed in #21, but you didn’t realize it was the first emoji in the entire bio.

23. You sense that you are getting near the end of the bio.

24. You wonder why I put this long space before typing #24.

25. You know this is the last thing I know about you.

Here is a funny joke of why the student didn’t study:

Teacher: Why didn't you study?

Me: A year has 365 days for you to study. After taking away 52 Sundays, there are only 313 days left. There are 50 days in the summer that are way too hot to work so there are only 263 days left. We sleep 8 hours a day, in a year, that counts up to 122 days so now we're left with 141 days. If we fooled around for only 1 hour a day, 15 days are gone, so we are left with 126 days. We spend 2 hours eating each day, 30 days are used in this way in the year, and we are left with 96 days in our year. We spend 1 hour a day speaking to friends and family, that takes away 15 days more and we are left with 81 days. Exams and tests take up at least 35 days in your year; hence you are only left with 46 days. Taking off approximately 40 days of holidays, you are only left with 6 days. Say you are sick for a minimum of 3 days; you're left with 3 days in the year to study! Let's say you only go out for 2 days... You're left with 1 day. But that 1 day is your birthday. That is why I did not study.

Teacher: Class dismissed.

Thanks for checking out my bio! I will try to update this pretty regularly, so check back later!
