__________________________________________
This week, we honor Daniel “Danya” Naroditsky. No words can fully capture his impact on chess, both at the board and as an educator and ambassador of the game. Danya will forever be remembered as a leading figure in popularizing modern chess. Rest in peace, Danya.

This position comes from his 2019 game against GM Isan Reynaldo Ortiz Suarez, a game Danya often called his best. Can you find his brilliant idea here?

Tips
• Think in terms of squares, not material.
• Black just weakened the kingside.
• Look for a positional sacrifice.
