George D. Pyrich Memorial Tournaments

 

The Scottish Correspondence Chess Association ('SCCA') announced in March 2018 its intention to organise some special tournaments in memory of our dear friend George Pyrich, who sadly died on 16 December 2017.   SCCA thanks those Federation who have already responded very positively to the invitation to participate in the memorial events, however, we would encourage those Federations who have not responded to do so as soon as possible.

All players who I believe knew George has been contacted but if you were not included on that list and are interested please get in touch. Priority will be given to friends of George's

If you want more details please get in touch.
