IM Steffen Pedersen

The former Danish champion, as well as IM, has died just before his 49th birthday.

But he was maybe best known as an author, being especially prolific as an openings writer a while ago.

I have a book he wrote on the Advance French and related lines.

Danish-language report here:

Worth reading in translation for the tribute from FM John Filip Rendboe. Also includes a win by Pedersen over Tony Miles (part of the GM norm achieved aged 16).
