On 5 February, at the age of 60, Eric Belot passed away.

I have not been certain until today. We are all temporarily offline. I myself, due to health problems, was offline for a few months this spring. But the fact that he did not reply to e-mails, and that his website was down (http://www.blitzchess.fr/), which I'm sure you have all visited at some point enjoying that wonderful collection, has led me to contact the family today and confirm this sad news.

Well, let this post serve as a small tribute to him and all that he contributed to the community. We will miss you, my "blitzchess" friend.

Best,
Gerardo "Berger"
