Daniel Naroditsky, a 29-year-old grandmaster, died recently and his cause of death has not been made public. Vladimir Kramnik publicly accused Naroditsky and other champions of online cheating, leading FIDE to open an ethics and disciplinary investigation into Kramnik's public statements. FIDE president Arkady Dvorkovich warned that public debate in the chess world has sometimes crossed into harassment, bullying, and personal attacks. Naroditsky strongly denied cheating and fellow champions called the claims baseless. Kramnik denied wrongdoing and threatened legal action against false accusers. Naroditsky's family emphasized remembering his personal bonds and accomplishments.
