@CLTchesscenter I have pinned on my profile Ivanchuck crying in his loss to Danya at world rapid 2024 for over a year. It is an harrowing video, now even more so now. He will be missed.

@CLTchesscenter My heart is broken beyond belief for my fav chess player. A 3 year subscriber who looked forward to his streams and it would always make my night seeing him. I learned more from him than any other chess learning activity. RIP brother. You will be missed. :(

@CLTchesscenter My heart is broken. Every time I watched this guy, I was impressed by his skills on the mic. Condolences to his family and friends. This is so sad.

@CLTchesscenter The world has lost a gentleman, one of the greatest English-speaking chess commentators, a great chess player and a Twitch streamer who made chess fun to watch during the pandemic. My condolences to the family and Chess World as they grieve his passing. Danya will be missed.

@CLTchesscenter Truly heartbreaking and shocking. I could feel the kindness in his voice whenever I heard him commentate. Top guy with such a passion for the game. Condolences to the family and the entire chess community for losing one of its diamonds

@CLTchesscenter Such a huge loss. Quite possibly the best chess educator of all time. He could break things down for a beginner and mix it with superGMs. And always with the most infectious love for the game.

@CLTchesscenter what happened .. anyone know the cause?

@CLTchesscenter Rest in peace Danya, the greatest chess educator of all time

@CLTchesscenter This is devastating.... Danya is one of the main reasons I loved and studied chess so much. I watched all of his speedrun videos. I always tuned in to his commentaries. He was such a genuine person, and a great teacher. I can't wrap my head around this.

@CLTchesscenter I learned so much chess just by watching his streams. I cannot believe this.
