| Jul-22-11 | | ozmikey: Walking back from work to the train station yesterday, I passed Max going in the opposite direction. The poor bloke looks in a very bad way. Very thin and pale (not to mention walking through the pouring rain without an umbrella or a raincoat), and almost indifferent to his surroundings, as if he'd had a stroke. Anyone know more about his health and general wellbeing lately? |
|
| Aug-01-13 | | ozmikey: An update to my post of two years ago:
Again this afternoon I passed Max at almost the same spot, and without going into details he is in a truly heartbreaking physical state. I spoke with him briefly and he said haltingly that he's suffering from a serious heart condition, but is still living on his own. It seemed pretty clear to me that he desperately needs to get into some sort of regular care. I'm wondering whether other members of the Oz chess community would consider getting a little fund together to allow one of our finest players of yesteryear some dignity in his old age? |

You should raise this in http://www.chesschat.org/. Not many Aussies here. I remember meeting Max back in the early 1970s, when he was experimenting with the Dragon and at the top of his game. Hopefully if the Aussie chess community realises his plight, it'll pull together to help him. |
|
| Aug-02-13 | | ozmikey: <twinlark> I've actually just contacted a couple of people in the Sydney chess community who are/were fairly close to Max to try and get some more information. I could always have gotten a mistaken impression yesterday...but I doubt it. |
|
| Aug-03-13 | | twinlark: Keep me in touch, so I can tell people around Canberra. If the hat is passed around, I'm sure a few of us can assist. |
|
| Aug-27-13 | | ozmikey: I'm afraid what I feared has come to pass.
Max suffered a stroke sometime before last Thursday when a chess friend came to take him to the funeral of Peter Parr, and found him unconscious. He was taken to hospital and put into palliative care, but he passed away earlier this evening (Australian time). RIP Max Fuller. A fine player who represented Australia with distinction for decades at Olympiads and other team championships and was a legend of the Sydney chess scene. Altogether a dreadfully sad month for Australian chess with Peter lost to us as well. |

click for larger viewFuller was on board 4 and played in three out of six games in the qualifying group stage, finishing with a score of only [+0 =1 -2] Unfortunately, the rest of the team didn't do much better finishing 7th out of 7 and thus relegated to the D-Final. However in the D-Final Fuller played in six out of the seven games achieving a perfect score of 6/6 That effort contributed to Australia coming 1st in the D-Final. |
