Not only a giant of the computer chess community but a very nice guy too.
Terrible news.

[Jouni]

Yes sad news. I was wondering when his Perft(14) is ready. So the answer: never .

[Evert]

He wasn't even that old.

Condolences to his family and friends. He was a major contributor to our computer chess hobby. RIP.

It would be fitting if someone were to finish his work in his name. That'll be hard to organise though...

This is quite a shocking news.
Anyone knows how it happened?

This gentleman will be sorely missed, R.I.P.

He had many serious medical problems, including diabetes, congestive heart failure and tachycardia. He was found dead in his home according to my understanding.

We exchanged a lot of emails over the years and I really came to like him. He often had problems paying for his medicines, and I hope that did not play a role. I offered to help him pay once, but he would not accept any money from me.

its still completely shocking for me to read that in other countries people cannot pay for their medicine.
in many countries here its free.

and we are NOT living under communism.

sad thing.
