The Straits Times
|October 24, 2025
Former world chess champion Vladimir Kramnik is facing disciplinary proceedings over public attacks on fellow grandmaster (GM) Daniel Naroditsky, whose sudden death this week at 29 has prompted outrage and calls for action, the International Chess Federation (Fide) said on Oct 22.

The cause of the American's death has not been made public.
A popular streamer and commentator, Naroditsky was accused by Kramnik of cheating online in 2024.
"I, along with the Fide Management Board, will formally refer all relevant public statements made by GM Vladimir Kramnik - both before and after the tragic death of GM Daniel Naroditsky - to the Fide Ethics and Disciplinary Commission for independent consideration," Fide president Arkady Dvorkovich said in a statement.
