| Nov-23-10 | | Riverbeast: Another one of Larry Evans' famous quotes:
Someone asked Evans how much influence he had on Bobby Fischer Evans said "I probably have more influence on him than anybody...And that's exactly zero" |
 |
| Nov-23-10 | | Petrosianic: <"Reuben Fine once told me that the main reason he declined his invitation to play in the 1948 world championship was that he didn't want to spend three months of his life watching the Soviets throw games to each other."> That was one of Fine's retroactive continuity statements. If you read the columns he wrote in Chess Review at the time, he supported the format without reservation. |

 | | perfidious: The irony is that, while in poker or chess, when you start to make a name for yourself, you're on the way to a career, in blackjack, when you achieve the same, it means you're on the way out-via the side door. |

 | | wwall: I believe Cory Evans is Larry D. Evans (the other Evans) son and not this Larry M. Evans. Here is my blog on Evans http://blog.chess.com/billwall/evan... |

| Jan-13-12 | | gezafan: There is a game cited by Evans in a book and an article illustrating the play of two Bishops and a broken pawn structure vs B + N and a sound pawn structure. It's against Santasiere and it's a Scotch in which Evans plays black. Does anyone have the complete score of this game. I think it was played in the early 1950s. |
|
| Jan-13-12 | | gezafan: Until now I was not aware that Larry Evans had passed away. I was sad to hear of it. I always enjoyed his chess column in Chess Life. I read two of his books, Chess Beginner to Expert and New Ideas in Chess. I thought they were very good and I learned from them. I think that Evans's game against Opsahl was a thing of beauty. For anyone who hasn't seen this game it's well worth looking at. Why don't we start listing all of Evans's contibutions here? For example, we can list all of his books. That way people who want to access material by him will know what to look for. RIP Larry Evans |

| Jan-15-13 | | Parbrahman: Buenos Aires 1960. To finish ahead of Fischer, Larry Evans introduced him to a beautiful prostitute. It worked. Fischer couldn't concentrate and finished 13th in a field of 20. Evans shared 4th to 7th place. |

 | | Interbond: Evans had a reputation for beeing a pawngrabber. I want to see a typical pawngrabbing Evans game. Any suggestion? |
|

 | | Phony Benoni: <Interbond> This is the first example that springs to mind. There may be better. K Smith vs Larry Evans, 1972 |

| Mar-22-13 | | Llawdogg: RIP Larry |
