I am sorry to inform you that Chris Orchard passed away earlier this month.
Chris was one of the strongest players in Dorset in the 1970s and 1980s, playing for (Parkstone) Knights.
Until recently he has been attending the Wimborne Chess Club in Dorset.
Chris twice won the Dorset county chess championships and played correspondence chess.
RIP

Does anyone know if he was the same person, who played for Eastbourne in the early 1960s and took part in the British Championship at Whitby in 1964? If so, his second initial was 'R'.
