I am very sad to report the death of Shettleston ( and later Stepps) club member Jimmy Doyle on March 12th. he supported chess whenever he could and made the long train and bus trips to whatever tournament and match he could. I always remember our games and could never catch him out. In particular his end game skills were legendary and clinical. If you were lucky enough to get to the endgame thats where he would finish you off.
Jimmy passed away at his care home on March 1st. I would appreciate any comments and tributes here, We all knew a good story about him. In particular his rook endings were phenomenal. Despite being partially deaf he was one of the most socially minded people I knew.
