FIDE President Arkady Dvorkovich has announced that the organization will establish a special award in memory of American chess player Daniel Naroditsky.
Idman.Biz reports that American grandmaster and one of the well-known chess commentators Daniel Naroditsky suddenly passed away on October 20 at the age of 29.
"This is terrible, tragic news – I still can’t believe the news that we all learned yesterday...
Daniel (and he will always remain Danya in our hearts) was not only a brilliant grandmaster, but also a tireless ambassador for chess and, above all, a kind, compassionate and truly good person.
We will always remember him. FIDE will establish a special award in memory of Grandmaster Naroditsky and his contribution to the chess world," Dvorkovich wrote on social media.
