In Memoriam - Mehdi Abbasov

Written by Ulrike Vogel

We are very saddened to have learnt about the passing of Mehdi Abbasov from Azerbaijan, who has been taking part in the 4th FIDE World Chess Championship for People with Disabilities.

 

From what we have been told he took is computer to the hospital to be able to continue playing, showing fighting spirit right to the end.

 

We would like to express our sincere condolences to his family and friends, as well as his federation and our thoughts are with them in this difficult time.
