Very sad news. He was an important part of the Staffordshire county team that won the national title in 1992 and was a valued and popular member of Bushbury chess club for many years.

Sorry to hear this. I played Martin three times in County fixtures in the good old days and he was a very pleasant opponent and a nice guy.
