That is not a selfmate, it is a helpmate. Doesn't Evans at least know
how to use chess language properly?

Dr. Dowd's once forged my name on a university website. His criticism
is reminiscent of a cable that Winston Churchill once sent ending a
sentence with "of." When a subordinate reminded him that it was wrong
to end a sentence with a preposition, Churchill replied: "Do you see
the kind of idiocy up which I have to put.”

As I recall, the exact quote was "Do you see the kind of idiocy up
*_with_* which I have to put.”
