Happy Birthday IM John Pigott (15-viii-1957)


John became a FIDE Master in 1984 and an International Master in 2017, a gap of some 33 years!

A similar record to that of IM Jeff Horner.

John won the 1976 Robert Silk Fellowship resumed active OTB play in the January 2015 grading list with a grade of 269F. :D
