Dead Man Wins Chess Tournament
===============================

Robert Ilderton has won the 1994 Golden Knights (Correspondence Chess) with a
perfect 18-0 score  that was just completed this year.

Robert completed the match early ( by the end of 1999) and was waiting it out
see if any was able to tie him.  No one did.  However , there was no celebration
by Robert.  He had died March 6,2001.
