Nick de Peyer

[James Plaskett]

I am saddened to learn that a a well known figure in London chess and a guy with whom I was friends, Nick de Peyer, was found dead in his flat in Eastbourne. He played for Hampstead and for many years lived with Candice Temple. I several times dined with them at London restaurants. She attended his funeral on February 3rd 2022. They think it may be linked to Emphysema.

Apparently in recent years he had been a main carer for his mum, but had kept up the chess and was also still teaching at a maths college.
