US chess grandmaster Daniel Naroditsky was incoherent, rambling, and half asleep in a concerning final video before he died, as he addressed the baseless cheating accusations against him. The 29-year-old chess superstar from Charlotte, NC, looked gaunt and distracted as he recorded himself playing chess in a livestream shared with subscribers just days before his sudden death was announced. Naroditsky — whose death was announced Monday in a joint statement by his chess club and family — had been feuding with Russian former chess world champion Vladimir Kramnik, who had accused the American of cheating.
