Chess Prodigy Dies, and the International Chess Federation Investigates a Former World Champion 

A tragic story in the world of chess, as 29-year-old Chess
Grandmaster Daniel Naroditsky was found dead this week at his
home in Charlotte. As of this recording, there is no official
cause of death, but late this week police acknowledged they were
investigating his death as a possible drug overdose/suicide.
Meantime, much of the chess world is pointing fingers at
50-year-old former chess World Champion, Vladimir Kramnik who has
viciously, repeatedly and baselessly accused Naroditsky of
cheating over the years. The International Chess Federation
announced it was investigating Kramnik for his public comments
before and after Naroditsky’s death, but many say it’s too
little, too late.
