born April 10, 1921, Dunedin, N.Z.

was New Zealand chess champion three times (1944, 1945, and 1948) and twice (1952 and 1970) British champion, but he was perhaps best known for the invaluable help that he provided to Bobby Fischer in 1972 and again in 1992 as the American grandmaster prepared for his two world champion matches against Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union. Wade also played for England in six biennial Fédération Internationale des Échecs (FIDE) Chess Olympiads (1954–62 and 1972) and represented New Zealand once (1970). As a coach and arbiter, he oversaw numerous professional matches, served on the committee that determined the structure for modern interzonal FIDE competitions, and wrote several authoritative books on chess and chess players. Wade was made OBE in 1979.
