American chess grandmaster and online commentator Daniel Naroditsky has died at the age of 29.

The family of the renowned chess player announced his sudden death in a statement released by his club, the Charlotte Chess Center, on Monday, but without specifying the cause of death.

“It is with great sadness that we share the unexpected news of the passing of Daniel Naroditsky,” the statement said. “Daniel was a talented chess player, commentator and educator, as well as a valued member of the chess community, admired and respected by fans and players around the world.”

Born in San Mateo on November 9, 1995, Naroditsky achieved the title of grandmaster in 2013, at the age of 18. He has published two books on chess, the first of which was published when he was 14 years old.

The American and international chess federations have expressed condolences over Naroditsky's passing, along with other professional players.

American world number two chess player Hikaru Nakamura said he was "devastated" by the news.

"This is a great loss for the chess world," Nakamura said in a post on social media.

Naroditsky first became interested in chess at the age of six, when his older brother Alan introduced him to the game to help entertain a group of children at a birthday party.

His father, Vladimir, and many coaches quickly noticed his talent.

"As far as I was concerned, I was just playing games with my brother," Naroditsky told the New York Times in a 2022 interview.

He gained international attention in 2007 when he won the World Youth Championship for Under-12s in Antalya, Turkey. In 2010, at the age of 14, he became one of the youngest chess authors ever published when he wrote a book titled “Mastering Positional Chess,” which covered practical skills and technical maneuvers.

Naroditsky later graduated from Stanford University and worked as a chess coach in Charlotte, North Carolina.

While still competing in high-level events, he transferred his talents to the online chess universe.

Naroditsky's YouTube channel gained nearly 500,000 subscribers and his Twitch stream amassed 340,000 followers, with hundreds of thousands of viewers drawn to his regular video tutorials and live streams against competitors. Fans praised his insight and passion, casually referring to him as 'Danya.'
