Iain Morton - Scottish Boys' Champion 1952

Post by Alan McGowan » Wed Mar 08, 2023 7:56 pm

Does anyone know if Iain Morton is still active?

He worked for Rolls-Royce in Derbyshire in the 1960s and played for their chess club (Mick Alderson, DCA). His last league appearance was in season 1963/64. I don't know whether re remained in England or returned to Scotland.
Any contact information appreciated.
Thanks

I played an Iain Morton - https://ratings.fide.com/profile/436526 against Bicester in the Oxfordshire league in 2016. I Don't know if it's the same player.

If it is, it may be possible to get contact details.

Thanks Nick.
That link shows what I think is the correct year of birth (1936). I check the ECF Ratings, but nobody of that name listed now.
