What a lovely time we had yesterday at the Adelaide, sharing memories of IM Gavin Wall with his many chess friends and family.
IM Gavin Wall was one of the first members of Richmond Junior Club, which met for the first time 50 years ago almost to the day. It's poignant that today his family and friends will be remembering his life and raising a glass to his memory. The Adelaide, Teddington 12:00-15:00.
