Anton Reid RIP
I'm posting this mainly for the benefit of any NZ expatriates happening to visit the site. We've just lost one of the best and most indefatigable chess organisers ever seen in this country, a mainstay of the Upper Hutt Chess Club for over 60 years. Just about anyone who was anyone in NZ chess would have played at one time or another in the annual one-day 40-40 tournaments that Anton ran so well for so many years. He'll be greatly missed. More information here on the official NZ Chess website.
"The chess-board is the world ..... the player on the other side is hidden from us ..... he never overlooks a mistake, or makes the smallest allowance for ignorance."
(He doesn't let you resign and start again, either.)
