For checking carefully the facts of what one publishes, as a contrast to
people who carelessly distribute false claims and lies and don't even
bother commenting when they are openly proven to have talked nonsense.
Otherwise, go and read the article.

How do you know that he wishes privacy ?

Well, for one thing, he told me. This matter is such common knowledge
that the question is like asking "How do you know that apples grow on
trees?"

So Sam Sloan is right claiming that you are the only person who claims to
know E.Winter personally :-)


He writes about chess books, he criticizes their authors, he criticizes
chess players. How could such a person remain anonymous in the chess
world
for so long ?

Anonymous? He is not anonymous -- as far as I know, Edward G. Winter
is his real name. He simply is not forthcoming with personal details.
Compared to, say, Sam Sloan, this is a refreshing contrast.
BTW, criticism constitutes a relatively small part of Winter's
writings. Most of "Chess Notes" deals with interesting games and
positions, historical research, biography, interesting oddities,
memorable quotes, debunking of myths, answers to readers' questions,
etc. Those who characterize Winter as purely a pedantic nit-picker are
uninformed about his work, or misrepresenting it.

No doubt E.Winter is over-pedantic in his pursuit for details what is his
main obstacle in finding the truth.

The devil hides himself in details.

Non sequitur, Jerzy. He told me by e-mail. That and letters have been
my only means of communication with him.

Yes, that's right. Taylor Kingston did say that, and didn't indicate
anything else. I have also encountered him in e-mails, to Adorjan, for
example.

I`ve seen lately the classic film by Alfred Hitchcock North By Northwest.

I can feel the same suspense here. We are chasing an unseen entity whose
realms are far beyond our imperfect humane recognition :-)

Well, there was only one fictitious man. No one was invisible.


Q: "Edward Winter" actually is:

a. George Kaplan
b. Archibald Leach

d. Jack Griffin
e. Bruce Wayne
f. Harvey
g. Godot
h. Keyser Soze


Of course we should add you, Taylor as the mastermind of this plot.

In my list, Jack Griffin was. He was played by Claude Rains in the
film adaptation of H.G. Well's "The Invisible Man."

No, it was a team effort by Lex Luthor and Ras Thavas, working on
behalf of the Secret Amish World Government.
