GM Larry Evans is dead

Posted on November 16, 2010 By Liquid Egg Product 5 Comments on GM Larry Evans is dead
Chess, In the News

Yesterday, Grandmaster Larry Evans died.

I will remember him most for that picture of him playing a game against Bobby Fischer in a pool. His “What’s the Best Move?” puzzles in Chess Life were pretty good, too.

    Every time I see the word “Grandmaster,” my mind fills in “Flash and the Furious Five.”

    I don’t think I was cut out for intellectualism.

    At first i thought your first sentence said “Yes! Grandmaster Larry Evans died.” 🙂

    You should play chess in a pool someday. To make it better than what Larry Evans did, the game should be at the bottom of the pool. If you want to move the chess pieces, you have to dive 🙂

    He was a good man. I met him several times while I lived in Reno, where he resided for most of the second half of his life, I believe. A prolific writer and great annotator for amateurs to read, I always remember that he said his goal in play was not necessarily to find the best move, or the killer move, but “a continuous stream of good moves.” More great advice for the non-master.

    Chessloser did an interview a couple years ago. Look for it.

    Errm… I guess this means we may have to wait a bit longer for this book to appear because the author came down with an accidental case of death. Bummer! 😉

    J/k.

    Jokes aside… RIP, GM Evans. He will be missed.

    This is sad. It reminds me of how much I physically resemble Jared Fogle.
