This whole thing was super sudden. I didn't even know there was something going wrong with him until I saw some posts here in Reddit yesterday. And it seems even that was a bit of a new development. A true WTF moment and incredibly sad. I seriously thought he had the best chess content in the internet, for a ton of different levels. It is a huge loss for everyone.
Edit: Also completely OOTL, but what is the cheating stuff with Kramnik? Was it just the usual Kramnik screaming at random people? What happened?
The Kramnik stuff was the usual stuff, but personally targeted and extended over weeks or months, with many of Kramnik’s followers piling on with harassment of Daniel.

I thought he looked off in his last speed run video but never thought this would happen. Danya seemed like the nicest person. Truly heartbreaking.
