It was only yesterday that Thibault de Vassal commented on the unexpected pause in the correspondence game between Marc Lacrosse and Eros Riccio.

"His match with Eros Riccio is canceled of course. We will remember him here by his fantastic & original games, with an outstanding rating of 2557... He lost only one beautiful game to Marius Zubac at FICGS in 2007 :

More games by Marc :

Yes, his games were original and deeply thought out. His first book for the "original" Fruit by F. Letouzey was a small wonder. Requiescat in pacem, Marc.
