The cause of death has not been revealed. Naroditsky, originally from California, won the World Championship for under 12 years and was declared a great master at the age of 18, the highest title in chess after the world champion.
He was singled out as one of his generation's most talented chess players and was regularly among the world's 200 best chess players, while in discipline “blintz” (short play), he held a seat on top of 25 world tops.
In August of this year, Naroditsky won the American national championship in chess blitz, while last year he ranked ninth in the world championship in the same discipline.
In addition to success in international tournaments, Naroditsky was widely known as commentator and chess teacher, approaching this game with a broader audience through livestream on YouTube and Twitch.
Thousands of people followed him regularly while playing and analyzing his real - time games.
