I think this gentleman represented Wales in the 1979 World Junior Championship...

Sad to learn of his passing.

Only just seen this :(

Dave Flower was my History teacher at Highbury Grove School in the early 90s. I had no idea he was a Chess player. I would of probably been in the same hall as him on occasions as I played for Hackney. Wish I knew as would of said hello. Was one on my fav teachers. I am sure he would of remembered me as my surname not many forget it.

Thank for teaching me Dave and RIp.

I'm sure he would have been amused by the school publishing a photograph showing the slogan on the placard over his right shoulder.

Er, yes - I think I played him at tournaments at that very venue. I'm not sure it does him any favours to talk about whom he hated. He seemed a nice guy.
