Dreadful news, and a huge loss for Scottish chess. Words are so inadequate at a time like this. Alastair was a wonderful friend and great company, one of the nicest guys I ever met. Whenever you saw him with a grin on his face you knew that a good, and usually hilarious, story was imminent. RIP, my friend. Chess will not be the same without you.
