It was a great shock to see the news, even though with hindsight he looked quite haggard in that last video. It's hard to think of anybody else who has changed popular culture so profoundly.
The new album is well worth a listen. Might be his best since Heroes.

Was wondering if he had a chess connection - anything else notable in that respect?

He would in any case have been playing under his real name (David Jones) I suspect
