SIM Petr Boukal
Friday, September 9, 2016: †
Dear chessfriends,
In deep sadness, I have to advise you that on 5th September, 2016, a very strong on-the-board and correspondence chess player, long-term official of the Czech CCA, chief columnist of the section „Correspondence Chess“ in the monthly „Czecho-Slovak Chess“, but above all a great person and friend, Mr Petr Boukal from Prague, left us forever after a short but lethal illness in the age of 69 years.
The Czech CCA thanks him for his long-term contribution to the correspondence chess movement, not only as a player and national team member, but also as a official and publicist.
Best wishes
Josef Mrkvicka
ICCF Delegate for CZE
