Jimmy was one of the characters on the circuit that didn't realise how much he influenced other players. Up and coming juniors always wanted to get past him to show real progress. Aggressive play and one of the players you always wanted to see how his games were going. Last league game I played a few years back shortly before he went into a home: he had a tummy bug, so I was going to suggest he go home early and offer a draw, thought only a few moves played so would be best if I l play some more., I blundered and had to resign. Annoyed at the time but on reflection the main thing as he got away early. Definitely up for a tourney for Jim. RIP
