The above link seems to tell me that Bernard Cafferty is dead. Is he? When I enquired of a Hastings chesser some years ago I was told he'd not been seen for a while, certainly not at their club.
Can anybody help clarify?

He last played at Hastings Chess Club on 1 July 2025 according to the rating database.

It would be very surprising if he had died and there'd been no announcement on the ECF website or on this forum.
