Obituary on the English Chess Forum
Many thanks to Sean Parker for submitting the file of games. Many were annotated by Dick Collins himself. It seems he even recorded offhand games when he was a schoolboy, including many against Paul H Collins whom I believe was his younger brother (born 1948). I didn't know Dick personally and never played him but I wish I had as his amiable character and sense of humour emerges from the notes and games. John Saunders.

| 2022 | First upload (as a zipped PGN) of the Dick Collins' games, input and submitted by Sean Parker, for which many thanks. Most of the games have Dick Collins's original annotations which I have left largely unedited. |
