This was very sad news I received yesterday.

With his passing I have lost a good friend from the 80's.
When he went back to America we still kept in touch via letters and then email over the years.

Lots of fond memories.

Hi jarrasch,

Thanks for your concern, afraid I'm 65 and run around like a loon.
Still smoke, not heavy, thin roll up's 8-10 a day. eat loads of sweets
and chocolate, I actually hate all fruit except grapefruit which I consume
about 3-4 cans a week...sprinkled with loads of sugar.

I'm not going to see 70. I don't want to be 70, I hate old people. They are old.

The only thing that worries me about death is how painful it might be.
I'm long overdue for a heart attack and I hear they quite are painful.

I cannot complain I've never been ill at all in my life and have enjoyed
every minute. I'll keep doing so till I drop. I'll miss chess.

That picture is me and Tim Harding, He's playing the Evans Gambit against me.

What, no mention of CHESS PIE? I thought it would be your favorite desert.

I'm trying to put myself in dietary zugswang, where I lose weight no matter what I eat.

hey GP !
If you are worried about dying then write a book about chess . teach the beginners how to think during a game or describe how to be good at tactics . make your book beginner-friendly . In this way you will live through your book .

Never been offended by anything....except by anyone who drags me into an ending.
I don't mind a clear winning ending, but a Rook ending...YUK!

From the Scottish championship, Mr. Bryson v Mrs Grant, he goes for a desperado stalemate, naturally Mrs Grant does not fall for it.
