Saddened to hear, via @BritishChess, that Bernard Cafferty has passed away at the age of 92.
His books on Tal & Spassky were hugely inspirational to me & I am sure many others of my generation.
And then there were his skills as a translator...

92 years old today - Bernard Cafferty, to whom I owe a personal debt of gratitude.
I already had a strong interest in Russian-language chess literature but this cassette played a big part in developing it further.

My first memory of Doctor Who is The Invisible Enemy and to me so John Leeson (and K9) has always been an integral part of the show.
What an erudite, charming, courteous, multi-talented man. An INTERESTED & therefore INTERESTING fellow. A pleasure to be with.
Bless him. RIP John.
