arghton 6,114 Posted January 14, 2023 Was on my radar since around a week ago when I was reading on some Ryuichi Sakamoto-related people and saw the part of his wikipedia page saying he had a brain tumor in 2020 but underwent treatment, surgeries and it was "removed". Cause of death mentioned as brain cancer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As far as I know at the time of his death he was the oldest professional Shogi player with an English wiki page. ... Searched the professional Shogi players born 1940 and before on the Japanese wiki, found a few more: Kazuhisa Ōmura (1928-, ja wiki) The oldest professional Shogi player. Was already very frail in 2018. Yukio Miyasaka (1929-, ja wiki) Most recent public appearance was in 2016 as far as I know. Also played normal chess. Kazuhisa Ōmura, oldest professional Shogi player, dead at 94 from heart failure. Yukio Miyasaka is now the oldest one. That 83-year-old Shogi professional/pool pick Hifumi Kato has an interesting Twitter account.

Sir Creep 7,011 Posted January 26, 2023 Former Siphofaneni (Swaziland) Member of Parliament (MP) Gundwane Gamedze is late. (Ha ha what a fine headline) His sudden death, after a short illness, sent shockwaves among the people of Siphofaneni and close acquaintances, who took to social media to mourn the former legislator and businessman’s demise. His brother, Richard Gamedze, confirmed the death yesterday afternoon but asked that the family be given a chance to meet and issue an official statement. It was established that Gundwane died while admitted to Sithobelweni Clinic yesterday. Though some said he died from a sudden heart attack, this could not be immediately confirmed by the family yesterday. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some of the videos can be seen here on youtube. Most of them look fine, including Pan Jiluan, suprised he died so soon after the interview. The frailest ones are in my opinion Wang Yongzhi (would've thought he was years older), Ye Minghan and Lu Yuanjiu. For example Wang Zhenyi is impressive. Although he walks with a stick he still seems to be working at almost 98, very sharp and has a computer at home.
