More sad news is a sh*tty year that’s not getting any better. In my experience just a lovely guy who clearly put a huge amount of work into chess, for club and juniors alike.
Condolences Paul.
RIP

Re: Rik Thomas
Really sad to heath this. When I first played him we were in our 20s. He put a lot of work into chess and had time for others.
