Larry Parr was recently caught retailing a lie regarding what he
termed "most scholars" endorsing a bogus claim by his mentor
GM Larry Evans, that he and he alone was clever enough and a
strong enough chess player to spot deeply hidden "clues" which
he says amounted to "proof" of the throwing of games. These
"clues", we were told, were deeply embedded in the moves of
the games themselves.

Challenged to merely produce the names of these supposed
"scholars", Mr. Parr fell silent (as usual for him). The subject
somehow was shifted to yet another bogus claim: that pointing
out that even stronger players than the aged GM Evans somehow
was an affront, an attack upon him and an insult to his playing
strength. This has all been seen before, and was easily refuted.

So instead of re-re-rehashing that all over again, I would like to
change the subject and point out that these fabrications are not
some one-off fluke events, but fall into a detectable pattern --
provided one is clever enough and smart enough to see it, that
is.

Here, one "detective" can be found who has managed to solve
the "mystery", and his name is Edward Winter:

www.chesshistory.com

Detective Winter has in fact uncovered too many clues to fit
them all onto his Web site, so he gives just a sampling, a
small taste of the work he has done in solving the GM Evans
mystery. Critics brand the detective a pedant, and say he has
a personal vendetta to settle with Mister Evans, and thus his
work is biased, tainted even. But they have nothing in the way
of answers to his charges, except the lame excuse: "other
people have done it" (made spelling errors, gotten their dates
or facts wrong, etc.).

A tiny bit of research on my part, however, has yielded far
better evidence than those lame excuses. In fact, I have
managed to uncover /proof/ that Mr. Winter has published
OUTLANDISH SMEARS! How the incompetent ratpackers
never managed to find this escapes me; if EW can be shown
to have published such absurdities, then surely his criticisms
of GM Evans can be dismissed, right? I now have the
"smoking gun" the Evans ratpackers have sought for years.
