Iain Hope
#1
Iain died suddenly, at home on the 22nd of February, 2025 aged 59 years. 

Iain was the beloved son of Stuart and Thelma, dearly loved brother of Alan and Eleanor. Devoted uncle to Daisy and brother-in-law of Brenda.

A funeral service was held at Seafield Crematorium on Tuesday the 25th of March and was well attended by his friends at Musselburgh Chess Club and wider friends from across the Edinburgh, Lothian and Scottish chess community.

Ian was somebody who was kind and always had time for Jonathan and I even long after we left Musselburgh Chess Club. He will be sorely missed.

Going to miss seeing Iain at congresses. Had many good chats with him. I agree, will be sorely missed
