Bob Wade OBE was the doyen of British chess. Arriving in the UK from New Zealand, Wade swiftly made his mark on British chess, shining against the home grown contingent both by virtue of his sharp attacks and astute endgame skills.
Wade went on to earn the FIDE International Master title, the Commonwealth Grandmaster title, compete in the World Championship Interzonal, twice win the British Championship, take first prize in numerous tournaments and inflict defeat on such luminaries of the game as Korchnoi, Olafsson, Benkö, Portisch, Uhlmann, Robert Byrne, Penrose, Bilek, Sax, Speelman and Bill Hartston.
He died on 11 December 2008, age 87.
