A tribute to Daniel Naroditsky with an extended photo slideshow from the archives of the Saint Louis Chess Club and Lennart Ootes. Danya’s first event at the Club was the 2011 U.S. Championship and his last was the 2021 U.S. Championship. This aired at the very end of the Round 10 program of the 2025 U.S. Chess Championship.
