| Jul-17-04 | | caballos2: I played against an "A. Law" today in the Open of Ghent 2004. I suppose he's the Andrew Law mentioned here. He has 2315 elo now and is FM (needless to say i lost after a niece game of slowly strangling chess). |
|
| Jul-17-04 | | ughaibu: If it's the Andrew Law I suspect he'd be about 50 years old, tallish, thin, dark hair (but I haven't seen him for about 20 years, so you might need to imaginatively interpret this description). |

| Aug-02-04 | | caballos2: You can delete the -ish in tallish, ughaibu. ;-) |

 | | Domdaniel: Andrew Martin gave one of his own games vs Andrew Law on a DVD about the Blumenfeld. He said that Law was very difficult to play against, and had a GM's understanding though he may have lacked the temperament to actually qualify for the title. That game doesn't seem to be in the database yet. |

| Dec-05-17 | | zanzibar: His obit is a bit hard to find on the net (due to stale links(*)). I found a link, copied verbatim here (out of respect to the player): <It is with great sadness that we report the sudden death, at the early age of 62, of FM Andrew Law, a long-time member of Wood Green CC. He died at home in his sleep on Tues 26 February. Andrew had returned home for convalescence after spending most of January in hospital. We remember both a wonderful friend and a great club chess-player. Andrew won the Strasbourg Open in 1978, and also had an excellent win against Tony Miles. However, he was an even better bridge player, and often played for the Wiltshire County Bridge Team. Our sympathies go to his brother Peter, his family, and many friends. The funeral will take place at Mortlake Crematorium in London on Thursday 14 March at 10:40– Dervish Kiamil, Secretary, Wood Green Chess Club

I found it on <ICOfY>, which unfortunately strips out the Event/Site info. If you would be so kind as to fill the headers out, I'd be obliged. PS- Beware of the missing comma when searching <ICOfY> for this player. . |
