It hardly seems that it was only a year ago that we lost David Welch.

I feel that that is because we effectively lost him two years earlier, when he had his debilitating stroke.John Upham wrote: ↑Mon Nov 09, 2020 11:58 amIt hardly seems that it was only a year ago that we lost David Welch.
"He became a FIDE International Arbiter as early as 1977 ..."
He would then have been 31 or 32. That is young, certainly, but not exceptionally so by modern standards. Several of today's leading British arbiters obtained the IA title at younger ages: Shohreh Bayat, Matthew Carr, Alex Holowczak and Tom Thorpe are four who immediately come to mind.
