| madlydeeply: Hmmm...since Larry Evans is such an ultra materialist chess player...and he played the big boys...maybe a compilation of his losses against the big boys might be a good lesson on how to play with initiative and down material...eg: Rossolimo vs Larry Evans, 1949 |

| Hafen Slawkenbergius: I think I saw in something by Evans the parable: "Chessplayers can be divided into two groups: those who play chess, and quarrel with their wives; and those who quarrel with their wives, and go to play chess".
Is it really his? |

| Hafen Slawkenbergius: One might update the parable to say:
"Internet chessplayers's wives can be divided into two groups: Those who are mad at their husbands, because they believe they are wasting their lives in chess sites and those who are mad at their husbands, because they don't believe they are wasting their lives in chess sites". |

| Domdaniel: Can anyone help me find the full score of an early Evans game? In one of his books (I forget which), Larry Evans gave part of a game he'd won against Marcel Duchamp in the 1940s (when he was a hotshot teenager and Duchamp was in his 60s). I think it was the New York State Championship of 1947, but the game isn't in the CG database, or any of the other main databases that I know of. If anyone knows it, I'd greatly appreciate the game score: post it here or in my forum, or send it to CG for inclusion in the database. Even the part-game details given by Evans, and their source, would be helpful. Thanks. |

| Strongest Force: When i was on Compuserve GM Evans had a beef with Carol Jerecki. Anyone know about this? Maybe it led to him being removed from CL&R. |

| sleepkid: Does anyone remember reading the Larry Evans Column in Chess Life where he talks about an Argentinian player named Laszlo Binane? If I remember correctly a reader writes in and the story goes that this young man shows up at a tournament one day and offers knight odds to people in blitz games for money, and starts beating everyone in sight. Then Walter Browne shows up and they play and it's finish roughly even. Then Larry Evans agrees, talks about how good Laszlo Binane was. Then shows two games where he (Larry Evans) beat this guy. I've always suspected that this was just a plant or work of fiction, because I have never found a single game by Laszlo Binane, or even any mention of his name anywhere else. Can anyone help out on this?
Laszlo Binane also has to be a fairly unique name, as it appears to be Hungarian-Irish. . . and on top of that he was supposedly from Argentina. The only other thing I think I recall about this, is that it may have been in a Chess Life from the last 10 years or so, and I think one of the tournaments he supposedly played Binane in was one of the Lone Pine tournaments. If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it. |

| Resignation Trap: <sleepkid> I suspect that the player you mention here is actually Laszlo Binet Tapaszto . Then check some of his other identities on our database. |

| sleepkid: Thanks. I knew someone would have some information for me, and I should have realised it would be you. Excellent. |

| WhiteRook48: I like the last few moves of that Evans-Reshevsky game.
47. h4!! Re2+
48. Kh1 (practically forced, but here comes)
...Qxg3?? wow what a blunder. See wikipedia for what might have won I'm too lazy to post it here.
49. Qg8+!! Kxg8?!
50. Rxg7+! what a draw!! Evans seems to win and draw a lot of games. |

| gezafan: There were a lot of US players that seemed to have a lot of talent. Evans, Lombardy and Byrne to name 3.
I wonder how good some of them might have become if they had been able to make a decent living at chess. How good would Fine, Kashdan and Reshevsky have become if they could have played chess full time? |

| HeMateMe: Benko may have been stronger than any of them. I know he's an immigrant from Hungary, but I'm guessing at some point he became an american citizen. |
|

| Petrosianic: Yes, quite a long time ago. Benko's first US Championship was in 1958. |

| Raisin Death Ray: His middle name is Melvyn?
1. How lame!
2. It's misspelled! |

| HeMateMe: Melvyn is a terrific name. If that was my middle name, I would transpose. Paul McCartney did. His full name is James Paul McCartney. |
