  • RIP Frank Chubb (1913-2010)

    You won't find any of Frank's games in your databases, but his was a name I remember from my early days of chess in Montreal. He was a regular in the weekend Swisses of the late 1960's, and a member of the Lakeshore CC for many years. His obituary notes that he was a former president of the Quebec Chess Federation (probably in the early or mid 1960's).

    From the Montreal "Gazette" at http://www.legacy.com/can-montreal/O...onId=142985762
