I am sorry to report the sudden death of David Burke, earlier this month, at the early age of 58.
David was based in the North East of Scotland and was an avid chess fanatic.
He was an active member of Newmachar Chess Club and regularly turned out in Longplay and Allegro versions of the game.
David was also a regular attendee at Congresses such as Dundee, Perth, Edinburgh and Oban, often with Steve Sawaryn, who died earlier this year.
During the pandemic, David set up a Lichess online club.
David was passionate about encouraging juniors to play the game and was ever present at NEJCA events, where he helped as an assistant arbiter and coached the children.
RIP
David Burke
