Ian mentions Jimmy's hearing difficulties. I remember at one 'Scottish' Jimmy confusing his opponent by accepting a draw offer that had not been made. Investigation showed the draw had actually been offered on the board immediately behind Jimmy.
The Glasgow Congress (remember it?) used to be held on the first weekend in November. Jimmy defaulted his round 1 game. This worried everyone as he was a very reliable player and this seemed out of character. Unfortunately, on his way he had failed to hear a firework heading towards him and ended up in hospital after it hit him.
Sad news.
