That picture of him on 25 August 1949 shows he was a gigantic baby!

Great player. Extremely composed at all times.

Slightly more importantly, absolute gentleman, and genuinely nice guy

Genuinely don't know anybody with a bad word to say about him, which of course isn't all that common in the chess world.

Happy Belated Birthday to Jeff.
I played him a few times in simuls at Poulton-le-Fylde Chess Club.
