What an incredible story, 18 year old IM Roman Dehtiarov scores historic win at the European Chess Championship. Background context and the fact that he refused to leave the warfront city to stay close to his father, makes this all so much more special. Kudos young man!

When the war started in early 2022, I tried to help several Ukrainian families relocate to Europe (mostly to England, thanks to @TelegraphChess and Andrew Churavin).
In one case, everything was arranged for a family from Kharkiv - until their 14-year-old son, a talented chess player refused to leave at the last moment. He didnβt want to abandon his father.
He stayed in one of the most dangerous places in Ukraine. With very limited chances to travel and barely any practice, he still became Ukrainian Champion.
Now heβs grown up - and just caused the biggest sensation in the history of the European Championship!
Remember the name: Roman Dehtiarov!
Not for nothing our city Kharkiv is called βreinforced concrete!"

Instructive Endgame. Black to move. Winning, or White holding?
I have been trying to push for 3000 in blitz on chess.com
After few tilting games, got this position against 2600 GM.
There are levels to this chess thing, man.

Missed a winning shot to score my best ever win and fell head first on the cheapo. White to play and win. #chesspunks

Truly dark times for the chess world..
I cannot help but wonder how those other "top" Grandmasters look in the mirror that accused him of cheating or made insinuations, feel after this.. you are probably not reading this but you know who you are..

Words canβt describe how heartbreaking the passing of my coach, Daniel Naroditsky, is.
Just a few days before the Grand Swiss tournament in Uzbekistan which took place a little more than a month ago, I asked him to coach and accompany me.
Even though it was a last-minute request and he had to travel across the world to reach Samarkand, he booked his flight and figured everything out within hours. Thatβs who he was, always there, never hesitating to help.
We spent an amazing half month together. Iβll always be grateful for those days and everything I learned from him.
Danya was the most genuine person I have ever known.
Iβll never forget our late night bullet matches over the past 10 years. he was the only person in the world who regularly beat me in those.
Danya, your legacy lives on forever.
Iβm sure somewhere up there, youβre playing blitz and discussing history with the greats.

The following is a bit longer, compiled version of the above from the Podcast by @DinaBelenkaya reflecting insights into Danya's thoughts during that difficult time. I hope that top chess players recognise the dangers in our community and speak up. Thank you.
