Translation: This phony will never respond to Keene's devastating
critique of his putrid review because Keene is right.

Keene is right? On all of the following?

1. The 1927 Capablanca-Alekhine match lasted 35 games?
2. Marshall, Lewitzky and Duras all lived until at least 1991?
3. Chess games were first recorded towards the end of the eighteenth
century?
4. Steinitz had an "abysmal" tournament record over the years
1886-1894?
5. Euwe dethroned Alekhine in 1937?
6. Botvinnik won the 1954 world championship match against Smyslov?
7. The 1983 Kasparov-Korchnoi match was for the World Championship?
8. New York 1927 was a de facto candidates tournament?
9. Kasparov was "the first player in more than 75 years to come
from behind to win the world chess championship"?

These are all things Keene has written, all matters of public record
on which he was quite wrong. There are many more. With the exception of
#8, he has addressed none of them. I'll be happy to discuss my alleged
errors with Keene when he responds in full to all of the above.
