I finished ahead of him but no I did not win. I believe I came in second.

Well well well, look who I played in online Catan the other day 😎 @chessdojo.bsky.social

Got the action shots, look at all these NERDS

Why thank ya!

Once again, this is why I don’t watch shows until after they are over. This is why I didn’t watch Game of Thrones. I ain’t wasting no time for some mediocre ass ending.

(Also I didn’t lose a single game all night 😎)

Not chess related but I actually started a Catan club and we had our biggest meetup yet last week!! 5 boards going and around 17 people. Wild wild wild.

Also hi I’m back

I think she likes her new chess themed scratching couch

It is a shame, I do miss chess twitter but it’s just like…..you couldn’t even find people anymore cuz of all the other bs

Shout out to Hayley Williams from writing True Believer/her performance of it on Jimmy Fallon 😩

Yeah plus it’s easy to forget that even though most people don’t take him seriously or give him any merit, there are still people who do and who can be deeply affected by him.

YouTube video by Anna Cramling Never Forget Daniel Naroditsky

Anna did a lovely and respectful video about him.

Someone who wasn’t actually a friend but also didn’t do anything to help….who had the power to do something,…hmmm just spit balling but maybe a good example of that is idk….the CEO of FIDE himself???? 🙄 like he’s really telling on himself huh

Note the “doing out best to make things right.” Looks like this may not be just speculation after all huh

Accepting HP work at this point… it’s giving broke and washed up if you ask me.

God I’ve never been so happy to not be on twitter after seeing all the BS Kramnik has been saying on there. What a disgraceful pathetic shell of a man.

My uncle just texted me this…I really wish I lived in the world of non-chess players where the cupcake gambit was the “latest controversy” :/

This is true what Emil said was awful

Oh for sure I totally agree, I just think it’s a bit irresponsible for people like Gotham to be so quick to make videos about it when Danyas cause of death is not actually confirmed yet, especially since his family asked people for privacy. This feels like quite the opposite of that.

Oh for sure I’m not denying that, I’m just saying people are talking about it like it contributed to his death when we still don’t know how he died yet it’s all speculation. It’s speculation that I think is probably pretty close to accurate but still, let’s at least get confirmation first ya kno

I am just a little surprised that people like Gotham are feeding into the speculation

For sure it’s still something worth calling attention to, but people are talking about it like it’s a cause of death when we don’t actually know that for sure yet (even though for the record I am inclined to believe they are related). Im just saying lets at least wait until it’s been confirmed.

There have also been lots of people on Twitter demanding kramnik title be removed and all this shit like can we give it a week??? Just a week to actually confirm his death could be related to his mental health??? Again if he had a heart condition he didn’t know about this is gonna feel real silly.

Emil posted something on Twitter and Gotham made a wholeeee video about it. So glad I’m not on Twitter right now Jesus.

On one hand, it’s fascinating to see everyone so publically going through the anger stage of grief at the same time. On the other hand, it’s probably actually very unhealthy especially for his actual closest friends. TLDR, everyone put the phones down for a little bit and just grieve.

I just saw the Gotham video this morning and then the stream from Hikaru, and even they don’t know quite what happened yet. Honestly I think it’s a little unhealthy that so many people so close to him have come to the internet so soon to talk about everything in the height of their grief. 3/3

Is speculation surrounding his death likely the truth? Probably, more or less. I will say, I am biased in thinking this b/c my cousin died in the exact same circumstances a couple years ago. All I’m saying is we are going to feel silly if it comes out that he had a brain aneurysm or something. 2/3

I just wanna preface, I get that everyone is upset right now and probably a little irrational because of grief. But the amount of hooplah about Kramnik is a bit insane. Was everything he said terrible? Yes. But we still don’t know the circumstances of Danyas death yet. Even his friends don’t. 1/3

Me too, it’s just all so crazy.
