Talk:Larry Evans (chess player)

message: The article says earned him many awards but none was more deserved than the USCF's Chess Journalist of the Year award.  I don't dispute that at all, but is it a little POV?  Bubba73 (talk), 04:56, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Speaking of POV, what about the sentence that he "guided Fischer to his capturing of the world title in the famous match against Boris Spassky in 1972.". Isn't that a rather grandiose statement? What exactly was his role? According to the William Lombardy page, Evans was Fischer's second for the Candidates' matches, but they had a falling out before the Spassky match. Peter Ballard 03:12, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Good points.  I think both statements should be fixed up.  As I recall, Evans and Fischer did have a falling out before the Spassky match.  I should look up the details (as far as they have been reported), but they really belong in the World Chess Championship 1972 article.  I think this page should just say that Evans was Fischer's second for the Candidates matches, as you mention. Quale 06:36, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: A little POV?

message: The article says that he won the US championship 4 times, but U.S. Chess Championship gives 5 times, including his 1952 match with Steiner and the time he shared it with two others.  Bubba73 (talk), 01:47, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The back cover of his book This Crazy World of Chess refers to him as "a five-time USA champion". He ought to know. I've corrected the article accordingly. Good catch. Krakatoa (talk) 08:09, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  US champ how many times? 

message: It's ironic that there are at least two mistakes in the score of his game with Yanofsky. Possibly it was copied from one of his articles?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.126.250.132 (talk) 21:31, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I found and corrected one mistake.  Which move is the other error?  Bubba73 (talk), 23:17, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

message: Didn't Larry Evans also write Chess articles for the Newsday, a paper out on Long Island? I believe he used to contribute a weekly column which was widely read.  I used to keep up with it until the notations changed. Hope that helps round things up.66.193.147.225 (talk) 09:49, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

message: The article says not a word about what high school or college he attended.  I would see him in the halls of CCNY from time to time, but know nothing of his earlier schooling.  The article on Arthur Bisguier mentions that Bisguier went to Bronx Science high school.  Shouldn't similar info be given here?  Abenr (talk) 20:05, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
