Larry Evan, one of the great names in chess over the last century and certainly into this one. He has left games of great stature and a lot of shared memories. May his pawn always queen.

Like many NY players I got my start with a copy of Chess Catechism purchased from his mom who used to bing a shopping bag of them to every tournament.

Larry had strong political convictions which were often the opposite of mine, but her had a great ability to get along with people with different views and respected their accomplishments. A rare gift in America!

Nice games by GM Larry Evans, may you "restinpeace" sir.

Evans also was very helpful in the Computer Chess arena.  The very first chess program source code I encountered was written in Pascal by Evans and played a pretty fair game.

Eric we all have bad games! I'm sure you had some too, I know I do and recently too! :-) RIP Larry!

He just passed away, http://chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=6814

Good puzzle because gave instructions for a better view about Nimzo-indian, thanx for sharing...

One of my first chessbook was chess cathechism by Larry Evans. Great read although i am not much of a critic.

I see him when I go to major tournaments in Reno, Nevada. One of Fischer's friends!
