referring to Fischer-Karpov negotiations circa 1974-75, or
Karpov-Korchnoi negotiations circa 1977-78?

Karpov-Korchnoi negotiations. It's reported in some late 70's issue of
CL&R, though I'll have to do a bit of digging to turn up the exact
issue.


3) If the latter, are you saying Edmonson negotiated on Karpov's or
Korchnoi's behalf? Sounds strange. How did Edmondson get involved in
negotiations where neither party was American? With Fischer retired,
why would Edmonson care about preserving Fischer's match conditions?

I don't think Edmondson was actually working *for* Karpov, but he took
his side on it and used his influence. The CL&R article in question
was written by Edmondson himself, I think, so I'll try to find it
tonight and just quote from it directly when I do.
