Daughter's email address being sent. I got it from Reinhard so, as you say, it not just in Scotland that he will be missed.
I heard about Hugh's demise from Stephanie Schulz who we met in 2008 in Dresden. I liked Hugh a lot. He was always friendly. We often shared meals with him & some others.
I didn't know he'd done so much for Scottish chess because he never talked about it.
Thanks Alistair for the video! We've still got the DVD you gave us all about our Dresden exploits!
The last time we talked to him was when we all played in Oban & the last time I heard from him was when I played in Edinburgh & Reinhard told me that he was admirably battling his illness.
St. Reuben once joked that they should invent a Flockhart rule - does anyone know about it?
Athol & I would like to add our condolences.
