Salvador Assael was #1 ranked player of Turkey in masterpoints. Among a lot of national successes and being in national team of Turkey so many times he won Blue Ribbon with his regular pd Nafiz Zorlu in NABC in the past.

He passed from heart attack in France at the age of 57. He was there to attend transnational teams. We were going to play in Philly in same team but TBF scheduled national team trials to same dates, we were going to play in Reisinger in San Fransisco in same team.

RIP Salvo, my dear friend :(

God, 57 is so young. Sorry for your loss, Timo.
