She’s 20, and even if I was single (which I’m not), I would not even consider dating anyone under 50. I can admire her beauty without wanting to have sex with her.
19 but close enough
Divya won!
I just watched the game. It was a blunder filled mess. The top women are still eons behind the top men.

Pragg just beat Gukesh to become World #3
When AI plays through you.
Lol. USA just beat India 5-0. Hikaru throws Gukesh king into the crowd snd doesn’t shake hands.
I don’t think it was disrespect. The organizers are trying to turn it into WWF and encouraged outrageous acts from the players according to Levy.

It seems Daniel Naroditsky is dead. He was an underrated player. Probably the 2nd best player of all the streamers. He was a great analyst, but will probably be remembered for his amazing impressions.
yes thats a big shock, not even 30 years old… no official cause of death reported yet but rumour has it, he may have committed suicide:(
rip
edit: according to ai he is still alive and reports are false? :
No, the rumor of Daniel Naroditsky’s suicide is false; there is no credible information to support it. While there was a recent announcement from the Charlotte Chess Center stating his passing, this was a false alarm and was immediately corrected. He is alive and continues to be active in the chess world.
edit2: and now he is death again…
As of October 20, 2025, American chess grandmaster Daniel Naroditsky has passed away at the age of 29
. Multiple chess news sources and his chess club, the Charlotte Chess Center, have announced his death.
The provided search results confirm his death but do not specify the cause, so any rumors about suicide are unconfirmed. A post by Chess.com on October 20, 2025, states that Naroditsky “unexpectedly passed away” and requests privacy for his family.
Sad day for the chess world. He had disappeared for a while. He recently started streaming again 2 days ago.
My guess is he was burnt out, took time off, came back, did not love it and felt hopeless that he would ever love it again. Since it has taken so much of his life, that is probably crushing and a huge void.
Of course, I could be totally wrong. He gave great interviews and was as open and honest as any chess player.
That’s unfortunate. I liked him. Kramnik made some wild accusations about him but Kramnik often does that. He (Kramnik) has become a hated part of the chess community.
Daniil Dubov says he died of a heart attack. That’s a little vague, but he days he wasn’t feeling well. Organ failure is the cause of death for every human in existence, so that’s a little vague although heart attack is more specific than heart failure.
I forgot Aronian was an American now.
I told AI to go search what people are saying about Naroditsky.
Vladimir Kramnik cites several pieces of evidence to support his allegations of possible substance abuse by Daniel Naroditsky. Firstly, Kramnik shared a screenshot of a private message he received from a viewer who had watched Naroditsky’s final stream. This message expressed concern that Naroditsky appeared to be “on some substance” during his final broadcast, suggesting that his behavior was inconsistent with someone merely taking sleeping pills 1,2,3.
Additionally, Kramnik mentioned that he had received warnings about Naroditsky’s condition just two days before his death, indicating that there were observable signs of distress or unusual behavior 1,3. Kramnik also hinted that Naroditsky’s recent streams showed behavior that was not typical for someone who was just taking sleeping pills, further implying that something more serious might have been involved 2,4,3.
Furthermore, Kramnik criticized those close to Naroditsky for allegedly ignoring or hiding these warning signs, suggesting that his friends and colleagues might have been aware of his struggles but did not take appropriate action 1•2•5. These claims have sparked controversy and speculation within the chess community, with some fans and players calling for a proper investigation into the circumstances surrounding Naroditsky’s death 6•7.
Edit: Here is Naroditsky’s final video. He doesn’t look drugged up at all. Kramnik is a C.
