Scottish Chess Championships 2004

Round 5

It is with regret that we report the death of Brian McGuire also known as Brian Henderson.  Brian had been looking forward to playing in the Championship this year and his non-appearance on Saturday came as a surprise.  Regrettably the reason is now too obvious.  No further details are available at this time.

A moment of silence was observed prior to the start of round 5 and Chess Scotland wishes to extend its sympathies to his family.
