such a gentleman Danya, Rest in peace, u will be forever remembered for your contributions in chess

Life was good when I was 800 ELO, chess is so depressing at high levels now that I am 850

He isn't crying because he was defeated but he is old and wasn't able to keep up with speed.

losing by time is very sad, i would have hug him

even the opponent is sad after winning

The first clip, I believe , was his future self in the older gentleman. I am hoping Naroditsky is in a happier place. Life is brutal.

naroditsky won, but he knew how saddening it is for ivanchuk to lose. great sportsmanship there

Guys, Ivanchuk was emotional on this one,  but at least, we can recognize one thing: this guy is still in the top 150 in the world, and passionate as a youngster. Well done! Shalom.

rip Daniel Naroditsky

Daniel won, but he knew what Ivanchuk would have felt like you can see it. Rip Daniel Naroditski, everyone will miss u :>

Meanwhile Hikaru: Still looking for that invisible mouse

0:30 The worst feeling in a competitive setting is not loss, but knowing you were in a winning position and physically could not do it. I kinda feel bad for him, his old age is the only thing really limiting him from being one of the worlds greatest grandmasters.

Lol I love how 9/10 times the winner seems pretty much just as depressed, somtimes even to the point where you couldn't even point out who lost if you didn't know how the game ended. Love it.

its probably a good thing they dont allow players to carry guns in tournaments anymore

Rest in Peace, Daniel 😢

One of the reasons i gave up trying to chase ratings and victories. When i was 500-700 elo rapid, i used to enjoy chess because progress was fast. It felt good crushing my opponents and i hated losing. But after coming to 1200, seeing how hard progress is, how much effort you need to put to become better made me unmotivated. It was then that i realised that chasing victories is not the way to enjoy chess, but to learn, to understand your mistakes and laugh at them, never to repeat them again. And when i dropped the idea of chasing victory and enjoying the process instead, i started seeing results- still low, but some atleast

Watching this video again on the day of Danya's death, I am once again convinced of Daniel's generosity.

Vassily Ivanhuk, I love you man. You are an inspiration.

Dog in that first clip they both looked like they were on the verge of a breakdown before he lost on time

The first one broke me.
