Mike was such an influence for me ever since 1966 when I played and won the very first UKCC! I also played for Wey Valley which he ran for many many years. 🙏♟

It is with the utmost sadness that we have to report the death of International Master Michael Basman - the founder of the UK Chess Challenge. Our thoughts go out to his family and close friends. The chess world has lost an amazing person 💙♟
