So terribly sad to hear of Alastair’s passing. Although we had known who each other was for decades; our kids even played each other at Culzean Castle about 13 years ago; we had several (non Chess playing) friends in common; we only really got to know each other relatively recently.
Cherished memories of Alastair’s company in Krakow last year where we were teammates at the board and he kept my wife and youngest daughter entertained between the rounds with his stories and general knowledge.
I’m sure others here will have memories and stories dating back decades to share. All I can say is Alastair wasn’t only a friend but a wonderful human being - who thrived on helping others. RIP.
