This is not a particularly pleasant read. Regards to our eldest GM and hope he makes a speedy recovery from Covid -19.

Thanks for informing us, Mark.
Terrible to hear, let's hope he pulls through.
I reported back in mid January that GM Gildardo Garcia from Colombia died of Covid-19 in hospital in the capital Medellin. I believe Gildardo had been admitted a few weeks before.

A reminder that we are yet to see anyone with an official FIDE chess title reach their 100th birthday.
