Craig Van Tilbury

FM Craig Van Tilbury , Olympiad representative for both the British and US Virgin Islands passed away last week. As well as being a chessplayer he was also a musician, playing guitar in a number of bands. He played in 10 Olympiads, representing the British and US Virgin Islands in 5 each. He played on board 1 in each of them, winning the gold medal for best score in 1984.
Our paths would often cross during the tournament, as PNG and US Virgin Islands would either be paired together or located at adjacent boards. I often saw him analysing with team mate Bill Hook, both dressed in their Hawaiian Shirts, no matter what the temperature was.
Australian chess fans would most likely remember Van Tilbury as the player who defeated Darryl Johansen in the first round of the 2002 Olympiad. A broader description of Van Tilbury's life and career is here.
