I was first aware of Ronald Malone through the Herald chess column of the 50s and 60s when he was probably a member of the Glasgow Club. The column at that time reported Glasgow CC and West of Scotland Championship results and a search of these columns might give some info. I can’t remember any encounters with him at that stage or later except for noting him as a spectator at the Scotland v USSR Telex match where I was an arbiter. Later, he was a member of the Glasgow Club for at least a season when it met in the Kelvin Hall from 1989 to 1992. I played two games with him then, in the club championship and Winter Open. He was then graded 1560.
