Having only just today heard this dreadfully sad news, I can only add my own sense of deep shock and family condolence. Graham's all too early death deprives us of many years of a still flowering talent. Both he and his wife, Lynne, have both long been stalwart international representatives, actively domestic players and successful ambassadors for Scottish chess. Devastating.
