I know that you keep track of Bobby Fischer's life more closely than I do.
Yet how can you be certain that "Rene Chun and Tim Krabbe are in cohorts in
publishing stories that are damaging to Fischer"? I am ready to accept your
contention if you can show me enough evidence to support it.

I have an impeccable source who told me that Tim Krabbe and Rene Chun
are basing their stories from a source that they think is reliable.
What they don't know is that their source has been making up stories
just to get even with Fischer.

Of course, I will not be compromising my source's identity.

Lance,

Thanks for writing: I can understand what you mean now.

When you originally wrote that "Rene Chun and Tim Krabbe *are
in cohorts* in publishing stories that are damaging to Fischer",
your statement evidently implied that Chun and Krabbe have been
working closely together to defame Fischer, instead of simply
having independently accepted some information from the same
allegedly dubious source. I found it hard to believe that Rene
Chun and Tim Krabbe would have been knowingly colluding in a
secret conspiracy against Bobby Fischer since, as far as I know,
Chun and Krabbe might hardly even know each other, if at all.
