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.

"Evans thought Fischer's conditions were unfair." --Bob Musicant

Dr. Blair,

Actually, I did not pester Bob on this issue, I just reminded him
to be fair and post the quote in its entirety. To me, that is very
important.

Pestering is stalking someone like Tim Hanke, everybody knows that.

Here are the quotes:

"Q. (2) What was your worst moment as a chess professional?"
--IM Jeremy Silman

"A. Apart from losing games I was clearly winning (vs Kashdan at
Hollywood 1954, for example), endangering my friendship with
Bobby Fischer by opposing on principle some of his demands for
the title match with Anatoly Karpov in 1975. I argued with Bobby
(in vain) to set an example for all time by granting absolutely
fair conditions to his challenger. Alas, the Soviets twisted it
to show that even one of his closest aides was not on his side
in this dispute - neglecting to mention that MOST OF THEIR
CHAMPIONS ENJOYED A GREATER EDGE THAN FISCHER WAS ASKING FOR!"
--GM Larry Evans

The capitalization for emphasis, is mine.
