We remember Geoffrey Diggle who passed away on February 13th 1993 at the age of 90.

From ChessMoves, April 1993, page 1:

“We regret that, in his own words, ‘the Badmaster has finally resigned’. G.H. Diggle, our hitherto anonymous contributor, died on February 13 at the age of 90. A former Lincolnshire County Champion, he was a link to the inter-way years of the greats; and his wryly affectionate articles for ChessMoves and its predecessor ‘Newsflash’ were the product of a gentle soul. He retained his interest in chess to the end.”
