I was saddened to read this report on the British Chess Magazine's web site:
"† Ken Whyld (1926-2003) [12/07/03]

Some very sad news: world-famous chess historian and BCM columnist Ken Whyld died on 11 July) aged 77. Ken's landmark work was The Oxford Companion to Chess, which he co-authored with David Hooper in 1984."

Their work was outstanding and a real service for the rest of us.
