this is just horrible. everything is wrong and getting wronger.

may his memory be a blessing.
GM Daniel Naroditsky passed away. He was a talented chess player, commentator, and educator. FIDE extends its deepest condolences to Daniel’s family and loved ones.
I'm absolutely heartbroken because we lost one of the truly good guys.

I also can't help but be infuriated because I know what an awful year he's had and saw how tormented he was in his last few days.

There will be a time for anger, because someone has to pay. But for now, we grieve.

His name is enough for me to check out any new project. That's why I try to list all the musicians; it's a big part of how I discover new jazz music these days.

Hey, thanks for including me! Sorry about your old account, but it looks like everything's back up and running here.
Yeah, I remember hearing this with a friend the day it came out; we were instantly hooked. To my knowledge, he hadn't done anything remotely like this before. I wonder what would happen if he collaborated with someone like Trent Reznor.
