An internationally recognised connoisseur of postal play, John’s record as a chess writer includes being Games Editor of the Scottish CCA magazine, a contributor to the British Chess Magazine, Gambisco (FRA) and CCYearbook (ITA) and holding the post of Games Editor for the British Correspondence Chess Society’s fine magazine “Chess Post” or the past eleven years.
