It does not matter who was better, Nunn or Evans, because you do not
have to be a 2500 player or even a 1900 player to see that Keres made
a series of unbelievably weak moves, so weak that no strong player
would have ever played them.

Sam,

You have posted this opinion several times before, and you do not seem
to realize that you''ve been stepping all over Evans' original
argument.

Evans had suggested that if a top GM wanted to throw a game, he'd want
to make errors subtle enough so that the average player couldn't
easily detect them. So your allegation that Keres' play was
"unbelievably weak" actually contradicts Evans' theory of how to throw
a game.

If we took horrible moves to be good indicators of a likely fix, then
we wouldn't need Evans' analytic expertise to lead us toward a
conclusion. If what you say about Keres' play is right, any B player
could have written Evans' original article and would have been fully
qualified to do so.
