The death of Daniel Naroditsky, a top 200 chess grandmaster who started as a child prodigy and quickly became one of the most influential American voices in the sport, seems to be directly caused by years-long unabashed and relentless social media bullying by a disgraced former world champion who has gone on a baseless crusade against cheating in online chess to justify the massive decline in his own chess quality.

Freedom of speech is not without consequences. Words also kill.

RIP Danya
