Lance, I looked at what Evans said, and don't see anything significant about
it. Evans thought Fischer's conditions were unfair. -- "Ben"

It's obvious these conditions were unfair. But not when compared to what FIDE
routinely granted Soviet world champions.

The point is GM Evans in 1974 was virtually alone in expressing this unpopular
opinion in Chess Life. In fact, the topic was so controversial that editor Burt
Hochberg declared a "Fischer Moratorium" in which all discussion was excised
from Chess Life for several months until the matter was settled at a FIDE
congress.

Imagine: Fischer's conditions could not be criticized in Chess Life!

At the time GM Evans noted in one of his newspaper columns that if officials in
the USA and the USSR chess federations were to change places, nobody would
notice the difference.
