Dr. Blair,
...
BTW, journalists are still talking about
the Fischer - Karpov match. Look at your
October Chess Life and see what GM Larry
Evans has to say about them Russians.

You did not respond to what I said about
GM Larry Evans' article in the October
Chess Life about the Fischer - Karpov
match.

I wrote (2003-09-19 16:08:51 PST):
I do not feel a need to respond to
everything that Lance Smith says.

Lance Smith wrote (2003-09-20 08:31:21 PST):
Then Lance Smith wins again! My imposition
for you to read the article was a continuation
of our open-ended debate on the Fischer -
Karpov match, which incidentally, involves
GM Larry Evans' opinion.

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

Bob,
...
You forgot to post what GM Larry Evans had
to say about the Soviets, ...

I see no reason why Bob Musicant should be
obliged to post any of what GM Evans had to
say. Lance Smith himself did not quote any
of it in his 2003-09-16 08:42:38 PST note.
If Lance Smith wants some of it to be posted
here, he should do so himself instead of
pestering others to do the posting for him.

that's what's significant in my continuing
debate with Dr. Blair.

Lance Smith can call it signigicant from now
until doomsday if he likes. Until he indicates
some specific statement of mine that he is
challenging, I see no reason for me to
comment. Lance Smith can claim victory if
he likes, but I think that looks pretty
silly if Lance Smith does not identify anything
specific that he claims to have victoriously
established.
