 | | alexmagnus: He was the third oldest living Candidate.
The new top 3 is Panno, Portisch, Karpov. Yup, there are no living Candidates born in the 1940s now. |

 | | alexmagnus: <Yup, there are no living Candidates born in the 1940s now.> But <five> living Candidates born in 1951 (Karpov, Ribli, Vaganian, Torre, and Timman). The Fischer gap is so clear. |

 | | Sally Simpson: Sad News.
Recall a few meetings with him when he stayed for in Edinburgh for about a week not long after he had beaten Karpov. Hort vs Karpov, 1981. Pleasant, chatty, humerous, full of anecdotes and very patient when I and others were picking his brain.
He liked his drink and especially Scotch Whiskey. An evening with him in a bar would be quite expensive, he never bought a round but none of us seemed to care. Warm memories. |

May-14-25 | | areknames: I am <Fusilli>'s age and I echo his sentiments. May you rest in peace, GM Hort. |
