7 Once again, we have this situation: a published playwright
7 named Richard Laurie, whom we may assume can express
7 accurately what he means to say, stated in a generally
7 friendly, certainly civil, private letter to NMnot that the latter
7 had denied knowledge of the Evans-Winter quarrel. The
7 letter was written over five years ago when there could have
7 been no knowledge on Laurie's part that it would ever figure
7 in the current discussion. He had no motive to misrepresent
7 what he took to be the facts. It was a letter that he likely
7 believed would never see the light of public day.

[GM Evans and Larry Parr] are big boys and can take care
of [writing in their defense] themselves. ...

... you have called GM Evans dishonest. ... It is too bad
you have not had as happy an acquaintance as I have
had with him, ...

... I can see no reason not to notify people of the

can see a copy of this is going on to Evans.

What does Larry Parr think about this Richard Laurie
perception?

'...
... All anyone has to do is read Kingston's article in Chess
Life (about Keres throwing games to Botvinnik in the 1948
World Championship] to see that he denigrated Evans'
ability to analyze by saying Nunn was the better player.

7 ... We also have NMnot's denial of Richard Laurie's claim.

Does Larry Parr have a quote of Taylor Kingston saying that
Mr. Laurie was evil? If so, why doesn't he produce it? If not,
why doesn't he admit it?

7 ... We hope to move forward as more surfaces from

7 we can compare what he said privately to Laurie to what
7 he is saying now.

We already have:

"Kingston to Laurie, 21 February 2002:
'... I am not aware of any personal attacks by Mr.
Winter, though admittedly I do not have the full
voluminous record of words that have passed
between [Winter and Evans] ...'" - Taylor Kingston
(Tue, 13 Nov 2007 07:38:53 -0800)
_
Has Richard Laurie denied that that is the comment that
caused him to claim that Taylor Kingston asserted that
he was not aware of the battle between Evans and Winter?
Is Larry Parr willing to affirm that Richard Laurie wrote
inappropriately if the "personal attacks" quote is the
basis for RL's claim that Taylor Kingston wrote such an
assertion?
