Isa Kasimi (Igors Rausis) Died...

It seems he died on Thursday (28th)
He was GM, but lost the title in 2019 for cheating reasons

FIDE has already removed his profile from the page, but there may still be some things that could be deleted soon like the page:

Apparently he had cancer and passed away at the age of 62.

Please be respectful, despite all the controversies.

He should have felt 2015 was the right time to switch chess-related activities from competitive play to coaching.

Nevertheless, he will be remembered, as Grandmaster from the 90's (by the middle of decade, the strongest chess engine was ChessGenius 3, and many skilled players could gain victories over it).
