Shocking news..... Marc Lacrosse is dead
I just discovered the news when searching the web, as I had no answer from Marc by any way.....

Marc Lacrosse is dead in Profondeville on august 13, 2009. He was aged of 48. I have very few doubts, he is the Marc Lacrosse we played and enjoyed with... The dates & informations match.
My thoughts go to his family of course, that's appalling :(

Marc Lacrosse vs. Eros Riccio
His match with Eros Riccio is canceled of course. We will remember him here by his fantastic & original games, with an outstanding rating of 2557... He lost only one beautiful game to Marius Zubac at FICGS in 2007 :

We'll miss him.

Terrible news
I remember him beating Anand in a simul on the ICC (he was the only one who won). The game can be seen here (in a posted comment, which also confirms his death): http://www.chessgames.com/player/marc_lacrosse.html
I didn't know him personally, but it's a great loss for the whole of FICGS.

Anand vs. Lacrosse
Yes, the event was related on many well known websites :

Saddened
I had one game with Marc on his way up the rankings here. He was a gracious and admirable opponent. My condolences to his family and friends.

Chess programming wikispace
Someone updated the chessprogramming wikispace for Marc & reminds us that he was also an opening book author for the chess engine Fruit (by Fabien Letouzey).

marc lacrosse
hello marc!! on s'est connu à l'occasion de nombreux échanges d'idées - sur les échecs et autres.
Nous avons aussi joué qqs parties ensemble. Mais que s'est-il donc passé ?? Je viens seulement d'apprendre la triste et pénible nouvelle. Repose en paix, Marc. Je pense que tes amis - tu en avais bcp ! - se souviendront de toi comme d'un joueur au fair-play exemplaire ; aux idées larges et à la compréhension totale et amicale de tes adversaires. Tu nous manqueras. Adieu l'ami.

very sad news
I have played one game against Marc in far 2003 on the playchess.de server. The game has been begun by Marc's favourite 1.Nc3! His nickname was Comcat there.
Rest in peace, Marc...

Bernard Lacrosse
I would like to warmly welcome Bernard Lacrosse, brother of Marc and past President of the Belgian Chess Federation, who probably saw our bottle in the sea and the numerous messages in other chess forums...
