It's hard to open this forum and no messages from Don. I missed him.

Don Dailey was/is a giant of a man. His work goes on. We are proud of him. His wife, Mary, is a lucky woman.

Go Don!

TJF.

PS I wonder if Larry Kaufmann could get together a Komodo 6/DD special edition with a detailed bio of Don? He could charge $60.00 to $70.00 for it. It would have Larry's and Don's autographs and many other features. I know that it is doable. A hardcopy of the Komodo program with five installs would be great.

My condolences to Don and his family, he will be sorely missed in the computer chess community! Also congratulations to Don and Larry and the rest of the Komodo team for a well deserved win in TCEC season 2. This win will probably be best remembered to Don's contribution to computer chess. May he RIP.

Great idea. I was thinking something similar, but yours is more detailed.
A Don Edition Special.
The DVd can brings videos with Don in tournaments, perhaps clips of his wife telling us something, etc.

Artillery man at the service of memory regards

It's so strange -- I didn't knew him in person but I'm missing him every time I'm coming here...

Shocking news. I do not personally meet Don but the few post that I cross with him showed he were a great person and an amazing engineer.
Condolences to the family.
Don, I wish you the best wherever you are. RIP.

Some will say that your feeling is due to your Slavic sentimentalism. As a Latin, they will say something similar of me.
