This is ignores the fact that Evans is popular with the readers. He is
the most popular columnist we have. When Evens was fired, two other
grandmaster columnist were fired at the same time. Nobody has even
noticed that they are gone.

It's interesting how some magazines, particularly trades, live only to
please advertisers; others, which do not accept advertising, exist only to
please subscribers; and still others, like Chess Life, exist for no
particular reason whatsoever.
