IUB CHESS CLUB

Eid Mubarak from our family to yours! May this blessed occasion bring you joy, prosperity, and countless victories, both on and off the chessboard. Best wishes from all of us at the IUB Chess Club.

The chess community loses a true legend of the game today as Jan Timman passes away at the age of 74.

The IUB Chess Club offers its deepest condolences to his family and fans worldwide. Known famously as the "Best of the West," Timman was a titan on the board—arguably the greatest non-Soviet player during an era of complete Soviet dominance.

His contribution to chess extended far beyond his world-class results; as a prolific author, editor of New In Chess, and a brilliant endgame composer, he shaped the way generations of players understood the game. His creative spirit and fighting tenancity will be sorely missed.
