come? -- Sam Sloan

I'm told that copies just arrived to the publisher from the printer.
Presumably orders will be filled as soon as possible.

Those attending Larry Evans' lecture on October 11 (5:30 pm) at the
25th Western States Open in the Sands Regency Hotel-Casino in
Reno will be able to obtain autographed copies. I'm told he will be
discussing new scandals that occurred after the book went to press.

" i dropped my bags, winded my way through the ringing and pinging of
slot machines to the room where GM Larry Evans was giving a lecture.
the room was filled with slavs, chess freaks, free champagne and a
cheese plate. i availed myself of a few glasses of free champagne and
listened to GM Evans speak. you may expect a GM to be lecturing on
chess, but instead, he was talking about the politics of chess,
Kasparov, Truong, Polgar, etc. he also had his new book this crazy
world of chess for sale, which i snapped up at the low low price of 10
bucks and he gladly signed the book after his talk. i gave him a
hardcore pawnography sticker and asked him if he would give me 5
minutes for an interview, he said he would during the time he had to
analyze games.
(later i get the interview which i will post wednesday) [10/17]."

SINE IF MY FAVORITE CHAPTERS

Chapter 31 HOW AMERICA WAS BETRAYED IN WORLD CHESS caused our FIDE
delegate Don Schultz to launch a mindless $21 million lawsuit against
GM Evans which was tossed out of court. GM Evans said he was targeted
for writing the truth.

Chapter 35 BEHIND CLOSED DOORS contains an interview with GM Lev
Alburt, the first grandmaster ever elected to the USCF policy board.
He names names and tells what really happens during these "closed
sessions."

ONE FIVE STAR AMAZON REVIEW

Entertainingly Informative, October 23, 2007

By Clark Savage, Jr. - See all my reviews

Grandmaster Larry Evans really was right in the thick of things during
so many major chess events and scandals. With numerous jabs at the
corrupt FIDE and many chapters about the eccentric Bobby Fischer,
Evans covers a multitude of monumental happenings in the "Crazy World
of Chess."

There are a few chapters in the book that were uninteresting to me or
that I thought were irrelevant, like chess memorabilia being sold on
eBay and a bit about handwriting analysis. But overall this book has
way too much for that to even matter. The letters and interviews are
invaluable and fascinating. His level of involvement is enormous and
his interest and devotion to the game are very evident. A lot of work
and research must have been put into this book.

Any chess fan out there needs to own this book. No argument about it.
You might think you know a lot of the history and many of the
scandals, but this covers them to a degree that only someone inside
the circle of these famous players could expose. You think you know
chess, but you ain't seen nothing yet!

REVIEW BY JAMES WEAVER

THIS CRAZY WORLD OF CHESS arrived yesterday. I was able to finish it
(minus 20 pages about specific games) this morning. I enjoyed it very
much, and especially liked the format that highlighted relevant
situations and events that even non-players will find interesting and
humorous.

All things considered, from FIDE world government to computer
domination of the game, to all the GMs that have documented their
experiences, I think Interzonals will become not only the most
attended chess events but "trails end" for future players who refuse
to associate with the corruption and politics that sub$tantial prize
money demands they condone.

I think more kids will learn and play chess but not beyond high school
with the exception of the Claude Bloodgoods of the world. And while
chess as a profession never quite reached the intended level of a
reasonable salary other than in Russia, and computers have completely
erased any reasonable goal for players, I think chess will forever
hold the distinction that no other game will ever replace it.

Obviously, chess players will not suddenly use their energy to elevate
another game, because chess is so unique and encompassing. I think the
future player will understand the moves well enough to follow the "big
board" at Interzonals, and occasionally play against a relative or
neighbor.

FIDE will deliberately, and likely very soon, implode during the same
meeting where the first order of business is to divide up the "kitty"
and, as Larry Evans points out, they will wear down any future
claimant via silence.

Chess players will still play in parks and small coffee houses and
talk about the "old days". Maybe chess was never supposed to
experience any "good ol' days." I also think this book is very timely
and will reach a much larger audience than
just dedicated fans. It will soon receive a lot of positive feedback.

Good work!
