Peter was a loyal member of the club for many years. He was 2 times Scottish Chess Champion. He played for Scotland at the Olympiad. He is remembered for a draw with GM Mikhail Tal with a famous photo encapsulating the event.
Hamilton Chess Club is grateful for Peter's presence and our thoughts are with his family at this time.
I will give details of the funeral arrangement when I have them.

That’s terrible news. I first met Peter when he beat me in the Scottish more than 50 years ago on his way to winning the title. Since then I have been with him to a number of Senior Team tournaments in Europe. He was always good company, and a fine chess player. We will miss him very much.
