I feel like I should compose a eulogy but I'm not very good at that sort of thing. Let me just say that he touched many people and will be always remembered.

I've only just heard the news, but just wanted to pass on my condolences also. 56 is no age nowadays, really awful news. Mar-09-15    whiteshark: <chessgames.com> Are there any <team games> http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches... ahead? Mar-09-15    notyetagm: <CG.COM> Can we please have a forum for the <2015 REYKJAVIK OPEN>, which starts tomorrow? Thanks Mar-09-15    WannaBe: Bobby Fischer's gonna win that one. I guarantee it. Mar-09-15    chessgames.com: Sure: Reykjavik Open (2015) <Are there any <team games> ahead?> Yes, we are scheduled to run Chessgames Team Game IV, but we've also received an intriguing offer from our old friend, CGM Arno Nickel, who has proposed to play a correspondence game of "Lasker Chess". See the discussion starting here Arno Nickel (kibitz #479) I find Lasker Chess a fairly interesting prospect, and would like to go through with it, even though it would mean postponing the next Team-vs-Team game. If I understand Lasker Chess correctly, there are two forms a victory: in addition to checkmate, which is the ultimate way to win, stalemate is counted as a "minor win." Repetitions, 50 move rules, and simple draw offers are still in effect, and count as draws. (I hope I described that accurately.) First, however, I am wondering if people find the notion unappealing or uninteresting? I don't claim to begin understand the ramifications. It obviously effects endgames, but by extension it should therefore change the middlegame and even the opening. Mar-10-15    jphamlore: Deepest condolences for your loss. Mar-10-15    notyetagm: <CG.COM> Can we please have a forum for the <2015 VLADIMIR PETROV MEMORIAL>, which just concluded and was won by Ivanchuk?

The English team were favorites with Short, Nunn and Speelman, but lost out to Slovakia. Mar-12-15    offramp: In today's quote of the day, by Capablanca, the word loses should be losses.
