Sylvie Templeur RIP

January 7, 1961 – May 25, 2020

It is with great sadness that I learned of the passing of Sylvie Templeur at age 59. Perhaps France’s greatest chess organizer, Sylvie was for many years the heart and soul of the Cappelle La Grande tournament. She will be missed. Irreplaceable.

My most sincere condolences to her husband Jean-Claude and their two children, Cécile and Rémi.
