Danya was the best coach I had the privilege to work with. He had the same enthusiasm teaching players going for titles and players starting out. He never ran out of energy. He was kind, funny, soooo funny. This is a tremendous loss for the community. 💔💔💔
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.

And that’s a wrap! Thanks for following Aman and Eric’s chess commentary the past few days at @EWC_EN. The boys are headed back to Canada and hope to cast more events like this in the future. What do you guys think of the event format and production?
