The creator of the free chess play site Infinia Chess recently passed away. He died on the tennis court due to a heart attack. His name was Aamer “Sammy” Qureshi. His playing handle was Deadlypawn. Aamer left behind his wife and three children. He was a pretty strong player but more importantly he was a good man and wanted to do something good for the chess community. If you would like to check the information, it is on the Infinia Chess site on the homepage.
