GM Larry Evans was one of the two most popular writers

wanted to rid the magazine of its single independent

Evans.

Used to be most popular. A lot of us got tired of the same old
Fischer rehash.

Can I suppose that these are the same people too tired to write about
chess themselves?


Common ad hominem technique noted. (But why stop here?
Why not "shoot the messenger" outright, and be done with him?)


How can it be ad hominem, when there are no people mentioned, in fact,
they
don't even mention their own names nevermind chess topics, they only
mention
people with names, and revert the topic to personalities.


Dear IM Innes, the concept of ad hominem requires no
mention of names.


You have become an auto-didactical obsessive? Or are you trying to ensure
that you are ignored by anyone who knows what they are talking about.

I didn't even read the rest.
