His work and content was a big part of what nourished my interest in chess over these past few years. When I play I'll even often ask myself, what would Naroditsky do in this position. A huge loss for the chess world, no doubt.
The Naroditsky family shares the sad news of Daniel’s unexpected passing. Daniel was a talented chess player, educator, and beloved member of the chess community. We ask for privacy as the family grieves.
