Dear Uncle Raymond, who in the 1970's showed me how to move every piece on a chessboard, when I was 4 years old, because how else would you entertain your tiny Niece when she came to visit! It's only now, through adult eyes, that I truly understand and cherish the reasons why, so thank you for passing on your passion for chess, I only wish I'd known you so much better. Your achievements are incredible and I am truly so proud of you. With much love, rest in peace - your Niece, Polly (Annabelle) Holmes x
