Just been sent the sad news that Jennifer Goldsmith passed away. Jennifer played for Harrow, Middlesex, although was a regular at congresses across England. I mostly knew her en passant from running Doncaster and being arbiter of her section - in this respect she was a model competitor (in that she caused me no problems whatsoever!).
Her time at Harrow was after mine - hopefully posting this can lead to players who knew her better can add more appropriate comments.
My condolences to her friends and family, especially to her partner Patrick (Sartain) - also a regular on the congress circuit.

Not to speak ill, but I think a lot of minor and intermediate section congress players, in the early 2010's will have different memories.
She was certainly a... *ahem* character... nuff said.

Basically a good person, Jenny sometimes found it difficult to control her emotions when she lost at chess.

Any relation to the "famous" Goldsmith clan?
